Transcripts For SFGTV Board Of Educaiton 12815 20151210

Presentation at exciting suck. Just reminding about the financial because im having a hard time following that. Yes. As fran mentioned, the way our lease is organized, were structured, special events of this nature have a minimum rent requirements based on the commissions approved perimeter rental rates that the yard occupies the soccer five can you start with the first [inaudible] and how this is going to consummate that . Producer. The yard today i forget the exact Square Footage per member the rent. About 17,000 per year. The rent for the jar extension today would be approximately 52,000. 03. Those are those of the rent combined that the port will receive at a minimum. As you may recall the yard deal, we presented you the first time also included at some called upside protection so the yard do as well as we hoped it would. That component meant that when the giant recruit the original investment in the site open about that point the board will activate a 25 net annual revenues. How much do we lose in parking revenue . Thats a surprisingly encountered with the last six months. Parking revenue to the site were parking demand for the site has been less than 1 of the law. So we anticipated that the lot as it had in your pass will be fully subscribed and that these loss spaces would potentially indicate a decrease in revenue. The demand that was witnessed over the last six months has not told the lot even on game day. So, there has been excess capacity to absorb the spaces that were displaced by the year. So that component can come into play the parking revenue. How much parking revenue to be loose in order to place the yard there . The yard itself wu yes i think that number we were target with 70,000. I was the projected amount of revenue. If it was without yearround yes. It was fully subscribed we had to turn away vehicles that was the risk. Okay. So, now wu x now that didnt occur that 70,000 was not in play as far as potential lot so the port is really looking at the minimum rent for the yard. Its a 77,000 Revenue Total Revenue Total perceived. So i guess to answer your question was a loss in parking revenue that wasnt disappointed. Said another way the yard had not exist a parking revenue at the site wouldve gone down this year because theres less occupancy. Because of the yard a revenues went up by 77,000 over what would have been based on parking occupancy because we were able to, if you will, we sell those sites of the yard. When we came to you before we thought we will be will to maintain the 1 occupancy and gross revenues at that level. Thats why were having trouble, with a number because there wasnt a lost directly attributable to the yard. The loss was a trivial to overall reduction in parking revenue. We wouldve experience it with or without the yard. Thank you. Speaker now, 52,000 minusis a 26,000 wu there is a potential jam the parking space is occupied by the soccer field. So, it displaces 53 parking space. The most places commute place on game day is demand the goods. A number though spaces can be reclaimed on game day if demand dictates. I guess what im trying to figure out what is in the net increase in revenue to the port based on this new soccer . Its back to the 52,000. Thats all we can guarantee the port will receive. Or some other things the patronage of the soccer field will generate additional revenue for the yard. Maybe we hope. People that revenue should flow through and help reimburse the initial investment which gets us closer although right now we dont want the estimates say they will get to reimbursement in corporatization will relate to get up every little bit helps in the soccer field in the patronage it will bring to the site will help reverse the initial investment and towards participation. I guess what im try to figure out, i know we have a certain amount of minimum parking thats feasible from the site. Right . No wu x we have a certain wu x . As a percentage wu x . When we lose spaces are both good out goes down . I understood we are trying to calculate. Maybe jack can help. How many total spaces Parking Spaces, other overall if you recall . Weve approximately 2000 give or take spaces in lot a. We historically sold out most of those spaces on game day. But we saw in 2015 was a departure had nothing to do with the yard come up with all the streets under construction and things happening, people making choices to park other places. So, we actually did not sell out a lot for any of the games in 2015. So, this happens to be a winwin. So we didnt sell out a lot for any of the games in 2015, we didnt lose any parking revenue as a result of the yard, but the yard economic structure was to protect the port in case there was any loss. So its a winwin. In this situation. Those spots are not being used for parking, the being used now for productive uses for the yard. So as it turns out its a winwin. We will see what happens Going Forward. We spec in 2016 may be similar. In 2015 in terms of the choices people make, whether they park in the lot. If youre coming from the east date with the northbay, traversing from downtown to that location is bigger and a little more difficult, so people are choosing other locations to park. So well see what happens in 2016 and on an ongoing basis, but its a good thing in that we have a little space in the lot weve used it for the yard which is the use that the community and everybody uses views as a positive addition and protects the port and generates additional revenue for the port. That support would not have received but for the yard. With all the construction going on actually hard to drive in San Francisco soap a lot before taking Public Transportation perhaps . Yes. Were our fans are making educated choice. When, for example the central subway for the muni, the tube for the muni shutdown for construction and people then shift their move from muni to car went back to muni and that her fans we can email our fans or community about transportation but i know renee puts out bulletins for the port as well. So, our fans make informed decisions. I think what we saw in 2015 is a reflection of that. We still believe that we will sell out the vast majority of the parking lot for events in 2016, but there has been a little bit of dip and you can understand why just traversing the city and what the circumstances are. So, in this case the yard is a winwin and takes advantage of the space. Its not really the parking are not impacted by the. Thank you. I think this is great with the soccer league. Will the community were any organization ever use the soccer field was a just private . Absolutely. I met asked rush to respond to the question expand a little bit. Urban soccer is a partnership with street soccer usa which is a community facing. So, just all hands to you. By ms. Josh fraser. Im owner of urban soccer park and were working on the partnership with the yard. I sit on the board of street soccer usa which is a notforprofit organization that goes into homeless shelters and essentially invites them to play soccer. Then put some on teams in the picture that you saw earlier the small cited field is our term and that we have every year. At the civic center. So, essentially, we have 22 teams that come from all across the country from 16 different cities and that all made up of former Homeless Individuals that of and up join the team at the carrot at the end of the stick is to travel across the country and play soccer. Street soccer usa is 75 of their participants get off the street within a year of joining the organization but so its a super successful organized. So, theyre very running on league when all the money that they make running the league gets funneled back into their notforprofit for running street soccer usa. Thank you. Commissioner adams. Soccer is the largest port in the world. I think this is a really innovative concepts. Clearly, the case of San Francisco is changing. I think what i really like about this, and the johns, you guys have done this and i just want to say thisthe community has grown with you. You created a culture. Thats extraordinary. I think thats so important. Even from the boat that you got from the public, that speaks to. This being worked very well thought out. When you look at the pictures and know whats going on here empowering the community. You are empowering families. Youre giving people something to do. Youre bigger than just a baseball organization. Youre creating Something Better which is all sitting this community that brings everybody in everybodys involved. Theres something there. I think this is good. You know, its like a magic. I do know what you guys got to have the midas touch. Whatever you guys are doing you doing well. The will to use a lot more of it. Thank you. I echo my colleagues. Thank you for all you do. The yard has been a success. So take lessons from spirit in me to start something and continue to see how it grows and not only the immediate results but over time start to see the impact. I think were sorely seen the yard or more as the word has gotten out more more activities that are pressing the soccer fields are one more piece of that puzzle in terms of drawing people and creating something. I know weve long thought, how do we figure out a way to add some Playing Field space for people in the area. So having the opportunity of soccer fields i think a wonderful wonderful thing. Just a couple clarifications were questions. I guess, as i and senate were going to get an additional rent payment of approximately 52,000, so worstcase scenario, we lose 26,000 in parking from davies but thats made up my innocence, is made up because you got the 56. So, at worst we are getting slightly over not close to 30, twentysomething thousand. But then if we do get revenue on those other 27 spaces during game day, which are paved over thats innocence additive to the 52,000 rents. So no matter what worstcase were going to make some additional rent on the site that we would not have made otherwise. Not counting the revenue generated by having more people down at the space, participating at the yard and also parking. That is correct, commission. Its an estimate for another number i like to leave you with the people that play the game to come down to attend and play purchase date will park and generate some parking revenue. So their patronage as well. Were estimating 56,000 per year but thats an estimate that is additional revenue that would not otherwise come to the site. Thank you. A couple questions i have. It looks like urban soccer is bearing the 00,000. 01 expenses. Will they continue to bear any expenses or how will expenses be covered years two and four. . Yes part urban soccer will pay for the Capital Investment all the ongoing maintenance and and their two revenue fees at least pay to lease the space. And urban soccer so in terms of signing up how the fields are used, they can be open to the public at any time to sort of spontaneous . Corrected the lead pickup play designated timeslots. Josh may be better about the specific timing of it but usually designated times, felt the designated times, instructional time where people can come and take classes and then also just opened pickup. Join the team and complete. Just a little mocha appreciate preach the homeless to get them involved her call we destroy the one of players so i appreciate how its going back to us. I guess its our data figure how we can be better participants in the citys fabric. My other questions are answered. Just excited. I probably should not say this but congratulations on the election. Thats the good news even though we did not win the world series i guess you shouldve expected to. High bar has been set. Thank you. Thank you very much for your presentation and for your work and excited to see this space continue to get enlivened and i know where transit first city but for those looking for Parking Spaces because the word is out that this is the place to go if the time and it parked near the financial dish. Easy walking distance. So, thank you very much. Thank you. All in favor . Resolution 13 be carried. Im 14 new business. Commissioners, perspective new business i just like to start by saying the page to aimee cassanofor hosting us here today and all hard work they did to set this up and are friends at sfgov tv been so factual to come uptown or downtown, however you want to phrase it,.

Commissioner adams i noted your comment about Sea Level Rise which as we pointed out earlier, port staff continues to work on this with the city family and will be more coming forward, i think in the first quarter, directly from the mayor.

Thank you very much that concludes youre comments if youre connected to mission prep please stand and well welcome youre applause now. clapping. thank you very much for participant and discussion by my colleagues and commissioner wynns. Thank you. I want to thank you to everybody im not happy about some of the comments but and i particularly building that frankly, i think that is a board of education wants to have this chapter they should have this chartered we turned to down in the first place there was not room a lot of impacts and imtions from the School District from the state approved facilities related i mean, ill not be supporting but those who said dont go away this will in my view a procedural step to cbo through because theyve changed the law any state held charter goes back to 9 chapter that denied them in the first place thats what were doing. Commissioner fewer. Thank you, everyone that came out today so i went back to visit and spent hours thank you to the principal for spending some of her valuable time and explain about this school i just must say in general im not in favor of the chart schools i believe if youre part of public Education System we believe youre part a greater social change whether or not you, you like that every family and every Board Members or administrator youre a part of a large social change were educating the future of this world so i believe that bringing everyone up on that dont believe that in small parts of society being picked to be in a certain learning environment and then theyre successful and then we get comments that say that that led others to building you cant be successful in a Public School in San Francisco i want to say that you can get a great education in many of our San Francisco Public Schools and it is a fallacy to building that you must attend a chapter or public in order to receive an excellent education were no a perfect system i think that everyone up here will tell you were not a perfect system that is, i am a fourth generations and four generations of my family have been educated in San Francisco Public Schools and so im very grateful for the San Francisco Public Schools system and i think that is worth noting that i am glad that the families that came today are saying that mission prep is working well, for them this is great but it is worth noting that there were thousands of families who also believed the San Francisco Public Schools system is serving their children well, i dont know it is just the Chapter School or that private school that delivers an education im a product of San Francisco Public Schools as are my children i believe i received an excellent education and so did my children i believe in Public Education having said that, i think i went out to mission prep and i think i like what i saw i have to say all the kids were there but that is different educating 200 and 31 children compared to 57 thousand a very different thing awhile well say this is excellent and getting excellent results if the result were better than the San Francisco Unified School District results the truth is it is easier with 200 and 31 children than 57 thousand so the people are here in favor of mission prep i want you to, were a family of Public Education Chapter Schools and Public Schools but to hear disparkinsons remarks about our public School System the Board Members working hard as stds of this system 500,000 a month we do it act out a of a labor of live the lifesaving as an equalizer in our society having said that, i know that were bound by certain rules and regulations in the state around Chapter Schools i was part of the group that was denied if charter 5 years ago and unable to find a reason to not vote for this today and so ill be supporting that but i want to say on record that i truly believe that the feeling that heave ive heard from parents not unable to assess a fabulous education 0 through our Public Schools is not true you dont believe i dont want people to building it is not true thousands and thousands and thousands of families for whom the Public Schools in San Francisco is serving very, very well but thank you for coming ill support youre school and thank you, again, for the principal spending her precious howsoever sharing the success of mission prep thank you very much. Commissioner norton. Thank you i want to thank you commissioner fewer for those racks no need to dispager other communities with the remarks for youre school that is wonderful not disparage other districts there are many, many more schools that are conceding for their district i know many more students i have to respond to that that is an unfortunate tone that was set tonight with that said, i intend to support this petition for the first reason that i heard a lot of testimony from families both in the budget and the other committees about how the school is working for the students and how important for them i appreciate that and it is very hard to anything working looking families in the eye and not say you cant have youre i dont know who is doing that. The second reason as mentioned it is very clear that show we deny this petition this evening the state board will go ahead and grant it i have seen them grant much weaker petition and impose the school we didnt want president in our district were stuck with so given that reality is just better for us to be the authorizer and start to build that relationship rather than have no relationship and no oversight with you but i want you to understand the impact youll have on our district particularly for the prop 39 asking for a building and should we be forced to award you something youll displace other families at other schools thats a fact so i hope you will be mindful a district authorized school that you are part of our district that you need to be acholic beverage with us and mindful of youre effect on other students and folks in this School District. Commissioner walton. I want to start off any comments one i really think that Charter Schools if you look at what we are trying to do with education as a matter of fact we have to make hard discussions how we supports traditional schools and at the end of the day Charter Schools were developed we were supposed to take the innovation in some of the Charter Schools not playing by the same rules and bring that innovation to the School System to develop greater than schools within the district ill say i appreciate all the parents and students that came out today, i too had a chance to visit mission prep and saw students existed about learning and quality teach going on so i do have to say what i observed is something i can get excited about but just to be clear this is disheartening that some of the families have been led to building that one they cant get a quality education within the schools and two, that they feel we have to have conversation that will divide us in our focus and take us away from what we should be focusing on making sure that all the students have a quality opportunity to learn i cant find a not find a legal reason but Charter Schools going against Public Schools will not be a system to funds for years to come but Work Together with innovation additional opportunities that exit in all our Public Schools. Commissioner mendozamcdonnell and then commissioner wynns. Thank you. I think what youre hearing from my colleagues, i think that was the same feeling the first time arena having said that, go a lot of students in the room i want to thank them and acknowledge the work with the mission prep is great and congratulate them for committing themselves to the education in San Francisco urban if i had im going to support the petition as well there is a couple of things i think uniform of which my colleagues said there is a couple of things for me resonated i want to just appreciate and one the idea that you could go straight as to the state and likely get our charter weve seen charters come through not wasting their time by going through the process they know they can get their charters through the states over the several years youve grown and appreciated the challenges many of our families face in Certain Community and i want to acknowledge that because the be our doing within the communities that youve committed to serve and stay in the community youve commit to service has been strong and you know oftentimes we have had chapterers that have committed to Certain Community and moved around their population in the morning likes like the population theyve committed to youve demonstrated in the showing but you know ive heard it through a vartdz of conversation through Board Members or names that are served at mission prep that the quality of education that theyre receiving the relationships they have all have true matt haney for them this is important to me so you know these are exactly the same kinds of things well expect in all our schools we have in all our schools and the piece around you know whether you only want to ago to private school or Catholic Schools youre experience is bad not everybody will have a positive experience in our Public Schools and i think what i did other piece f more for any prediction youve found a place to go i rather that mission prep be under our charter we can working closely together and have a different relationship and have all lets families that are here tonight be considered our families as Public School parents and not think about that as the you know yours and ours so i think that the charter will depend on how you approach the issue and for me you know Charter Schools are our kids and families this is San Francisco we really want to think about how to do best for our kids i hope youll stick to our commitment to work working closely with us and insure youre doing right by your convicts within the confines of a system that has some constraints but im supporting this tonight i truly believe that the kids at mission prep are our kids and you know our Charter Schools are our Public Schools and thats the way i feel always felt and probable a minority amongst my colleagues but i look forward to having you in the fold and having i part of San Francisco Unified School District. Commissioner wynns and commissioner Vice President haney. I wanted to see a couple of things point out to my colleagues in case you didnt know the law must grant no legal way youre personal vote can be constrained you have the perfect legal right to vote any way youre conscious directions on this for youre information but the real thing i wanted to say superintendent carranza i mind can the fifth whereas resolution be removed the last time we had a charter you made a commitment not a charter resolution without that language in it again we actually did change the language. What we dont need that at all i thought we agreed to remove that whereas it is not necessary. Issuing understanding to remove the line it says and that the establishment of Charter Schools to be encouraged. I thought i asked for it to be completely removed no assessment of that language at all. Well, i make a motion but its youre resolution you can remove it. You want to say it is before the board ill make a motion to move we amend by removing that. Second. Any discussion on the amendment 80 that has been its been moved and seconded what was the discussion before that change the language and why we are taking it out. Nothing in the resolution before us is required by law we can write anything we want at sometime not to distance as far as i know everywhere weve added a whereas to encourage the creation of Charter Schools thats not generally, the sense of the board so not absolutely unnecessary and the last time youre correct it was even anymore positive then but we said do question do this and that why not take it out and everybody agreed on that motion. Commissioner norton. I want to speak in favor i heard what i personally dont believe that charts should be on a integral part of educational system so i support the motion. Any further discussion on the amendment seeing none, roll call vote on the amendment. Thank you ms. Chin mr. Totiano ms. Fewer mr. Haney ms. Mendozamcdonnell ms. Norton mr. Walton ms. Wynns dr. Murase. Its amazed thank you very much lets see see next commissioner Vice President haney. Yeah. We want to thank all the parents and students and teachers and Board Members and everyone that came out tonight whether there is a strong supports for a school and for the students i know you are homework to do and other places to be and the parents after a long day of work it means a lot to us and inspiring and humbling because you care about our school and having a positive experienced whatever the school is we hear you and thank you for being here around that. I think i dont have a whole lot to add my colleagues spoke clearly of what the sentiment of this board we believe this is a bit of a broken and awkward process in many ways one that the sate is involved with and imposes things on the dignities and some concerns about the roles of the charts in general but mission prep. What you video built together it is inspiring and you have a lot to be proud of those of us who visited the classrooms who talked with the staff i got to talk request dozens of students oneonone and asking them theyre wonderful so i was impressed by what was happenings i know a tremendous amount of harry reid hard work that it took for all of you to build that school the school so im going to be supporting the charter i agree with many of the concerns around the process it puts us in and continue to feel that way but last thing i hope as we bring if this does go Forward Mission prep as part of sfusd family formally as one of our sponsor charters i hope that opens up an opportunity of clufks to Work Together and we recognize were making that commitment i think this is something every time we go through it lets side better those are our children and commissioner mendozamcdonnell said and of San Francisco we do better when we alcohol beverage and work working closely together and to the parents that were there you have our commitment whether a positive experience with the districts or not were on the same team and we will be i believe after tonight even more so so thank you, again, for coming out tonight ill be supporting this. I have a few comments i share some of the are concerns generally and want to make 4 points on that i just to be clear a charter cancel is a public a pubically Fund Privately managed as said but the Charter School is a public and misleading to say their tuition free they must be free number 3 i have concerns out of respect for the labor partners want to make sure the Charter Schools are a Good Practice for educators to work and commissioner norton raised the issue that they require Additional Resources including the monitoring of space and facilities we also in need of additional funding on gotten back to 2007 level of public funding so we hope we can counts be the Charter School partners to join us in fighting for additional funding there is a net cost to the district, however, i am persuaded by the mission prep application the petitions for several reasons particularly the demographics serves 85 percent advantageous and English Learners this is a group that we want to serve better secondly, mission prep has met the goal achievements and thirdly, financially stable this is what were always looking for i will are supporting this petition and hope we can forge a strong project sponsor. Turf. Thank you disrupting i mean, ill urge the mission prep to be considered consider part of family that serves our puck School Children in San Francisco we have Charter Schools part of Teachers Union ill urge to look at it and infer that possibility that will set much better with the members of this board thank you.

The next item own the agenda the consent calendar and it is item f Public Comment on consent items we have one speaker card Susan Solomon exclusive Vice President would like to speak on case k through 12 and 13 and k 19. Good evening, commissioners and superintendent carranza youre aware the united filed a unfair case we see the district is a contracting out some of the bargaining contracted working weve been working closely to resolve this and come to 34 go agreement around it it with dismay we see many k resolutions including invited to the ones im addressing have the appearance of contracting out our work we have a collective bargaining with the School District that defines scope of our work that work is awarded to people not covered by that selected barking agreement and speaking of that collective Bargaining Agreement we have to take exception to being referred to as a labor partners especially tonight when the term was used in reference to a nonunion school you call them as much as you say welcoming a nonunion school is an odd way to do that thank you. That collects Public Comment on consent items were on items g the consent calendar is there is a motion and a second on the consent calendar. Second. Thank you. Any items withdrawn or corrected by the superintendent. Yes. President murase to an page 230 and 231 of our agenda ak 47 the background delete them to amendment to resolutions at the top of pages 230 and change it the background should reflect the original one adopted 200 and 39,000 plus and delete the other one the total Program Costs should be 200 and plus 39,000. Thank you very much mr. Steel any items removed for First Reading by the board . Any items severed next on the agenda the superintendents proposal lets see concluded the mission prep item the next item is revision to board policy formally one 02 students admission its been moved and seconded on november 10th may i have a report commissioner wynns. The rules committee meat m met and open up for Public Comment those are required by state law thank you commissioner wynns. Superintendent carranza please read the resolution. Thank you president murase im going to ask our General Council daniel to do the honors. President murase with our permission just reading the requested that the board of education approve the board policy admissions to update and bring into experience with the california Education Code other state and federal law of a the board of education and the office of civil rights thank you. Ms. Hulk no Public Comments comments from the board. Thank you very much president murase id like to add two could clauses we can return it back to rules for a revision of that but there are two i think items id like to add one that that the notice of residency or investigation in the families primary language and also that students that are families that are victims of no fault evictions can remain at the schools for the school year. Is that an amendment to the proposal. If i can amend that now and defer to come in ill like to add those two amendments if you that that will require further discussion ill be happy to to request this about brought before the rules committee again. I see no reason to refer to for additional study on the languages that the notice be given in the primary language and spriep were not doing that and should do that. It actually didnt say that in here and the only hesitation on the second part that members of families who have been victim of no fault evictions now hesitation on this on the verification and whether or not we want to sell out what types of documents to provide evidence youre family has been evicted through no fault of our own. Anyone if the no fault Education Center. Yeah. Someone i couldnt do our director archie president ial come forward. Good evening president murase superintendmt carranza so the notification is sent to the primary language to the home we would review that and see what the language spoken would be and send that in everyone and spanish and chinese any language we coffer and the second point. So we could add the language as requested. Sure. And the second requested amendment was that students who have been families have been evicted through a no fault eviction will be permitted to go remain within the district enrolled in the remainder of the school year my question whether or not you feel that staff needs to have in the board policy the type of documents necessary to prove that exception. I dont believe it needs that in over 5 hundred investigation weve done since 2010 over 87 percent of the families investigated we homeownerships outside of San Francisco and number one, the families were in that eviction on 3 families were homeless and those railroad overturned. Am i hearing not an issue to have that actually in no fault eviction is a Legal Process so documentation that parents and families could present. I i understand that commissioner fewer im hearing director saying. Deputy director lee and commissioner Vice President haney and commissioner norton. Thank you chairperson wu agency a points of information and innovative under folk to help me if i get that wrong maintenance our current protocol is related to this particular policy and families that are in transitional housing situations theyre already exempted from residency based enrollment or disenrollment so the materials that the family receives it stated that if a family is in a transitional housing situation the policy doesnt apply so i believe that a family that is experiencing this is scenario in the eviction proceedings that would apply so i dont see a problem and jump if you see that differently i dont see it a problem explaining that in the policy i wanted to say for everyones information that is already consistent with our practices. So lets see i have commissioner Vice President haney, oconnor and then commissioner walton and commissioner wynns. I support both of the points that commissioner fewer brought up and have other others to talk about i dont know. I know we spoke about our options here in terms of sending this to rules and also to Student Assignment for further discussion i think that is something id like to do didnt mean necessarily we dont pass this version or some version potential and come back and look at it further there are actually some questions i have one of the commissioner fewers point maybe people that would be evicted not in transition they move to other housing situation in other city and were evicted not considered to be in transition unless at stable housing situation also a difference between if we think that people who are weve investigated that are in other city that own a house that is and those folks are generally not people that have been evicted thats different than proactively to a family that is evicted our allowed to stay in the school you know that there maybe families that assume that he can and leave automatic theyre not being in a position to be investigated well be proactively in this case saying we want to tell those families they can stay and actually other families we think about them one of the things to you talk about Assignment Committee explicit is what some other districts do around that in the Advisory Committee of the level of changes and challenges around the city what these when we are in a position where our policy is that a student has to leave in the middle of the year potentially what does that mean in terms of the educational impact on this student and family think a policy matter whether we want to take another approach for probably a broader set of families or students id like to know what other School Districts do and those are things i want to put that out there i hope that my colleagues agree that deserves a further discussion not because of a legal question not vote on this version particularly with the moving forward and continuing this conversation in the coming months. I have commissioner norton and commissioner walton and commissioner wynns and commissioner mendozamcdonnell. Yes. In the Advisory Committee of what you said commissioner Vice President haney i dont have any objection to this at all my comment was going to be keeping you know any logical issues or Financial Issues south park staff should look at brownbag we vote id like to know the answer it overwhelms that is confident this is not going to have a huge impact is if we can revisit you know additional changes to this policy at another time and continue on tonight, im fine with that. Commissioner walton. Just want to make a couple of comments and thank you Deputy Superintendant my colleagues states that spelling out in writing the policy is helpful for some of the families that does know their rights i know of one incident since ive been on the board i think that providing families with opportunities to advocate for policies is important you do not i dont like the language but absent of an amendment definitely will support as we move forward to come up with a strategy to address some of the concerns again those are students lives were talking about and families lives and, of course, 100 percent for students of San Francisco receiving a quality education but United States nuances that some of our parents that ive heard the parents and students that we fully address those as well. Thank you commissioner wynns and then commissioner mendozamcdonnell. One i want to remind the board that the technical changes are time sensitive have to have in that place by and certain time and want to ask for your information about where the scenario in the regulations does it say well provide the material you know we do anything e everything appropriate languages it is great by the do it but the point to be somewhere in writing where is it. The initial letter that is sent to families a translated piece of information that states the letter is available. Thats a communication device im talking about our policy of regulations on what basis do you do the language transmission i understand the way we operate the question do we have to written down. Not written down an operations based on the home language. We wanted to add this to those other policy and want to advocate find make sure it gets in regulation somewhere so none weve fallen by the wayside not written down the issue of the students who you know housing is unstable is a huge issue we need to address that i think we need to do that in the Student Assignment committee a big policy issue not before we wont know if were putting in the right language thats adequate thats my request and refer to the committee and come back and some things and commissioner walton suggested not just technical issues were talking about here thank you. Commissioner mendozamcdonnell. Thank you so i just want to be clear on were using consistent language how we chaplain our homeless students and i wanted to just to be clear and make sure let me do the Health Circumstances first, i know we have a provision in here not edited but changed but you know the it seems to me for recently weve having had more Health Conditions of some sort that where families have been their placement has been jeopardize the parents the childrens had to go live somewhere else their conditions are for the conducive i want to make sure we are vetting those clearly and cleanly were not making that more difficult for the families we are truly understanding what the circumstances are abag because they have been really did the circumstances were hearing and to layer that and youre kids have to leave school in two weeks is difficult i want to make sure were really clear how we handle those cases as well and then the last thing were thinking about families who are evicted or being supported through the citys city supports that were working with the city to understand how families theres not a lot of Housing Stock right now weve placed families coming out of shelters and being evicted and given assistance with rent or just trying to stabilize their housing is oftentimes in other places in the bay area and so i just want to make sure were understanding where the city is placing our families to stabilize them we want to stabilize them and if theyre working in the city so you would we have provisions were not saying you know we now know you live in ann antioch if youre willing to do the commute we want you to have the option again because the city had to place them as part of assistance those are dollars it come from our city to support families in difficult situations our city investing and putting in outside of San Francisco time to understand their patterns are thank you. So i understand there are two populated changes there appears to be consensus and on the second piece the no fault eviction ive heard to things one that we could vote on it tonight or two have that piece referred to Student Assignment for more flushing out by staff what is the pleasure of the authority in terms of the no fault considered tonight or in the committee. Hearing my colleagues may i have please comment on the notice of residency in native language are you sending the letter with english and saying it available in our native language may i misunderstood. The first letter the initial letter it is in english and a notice of transition available on that letter the second letter in the native language the family so the family speaking chinese will be in chinese. Would that will too much of a harding park to have the first one presented to the family in the primary language. It will take time but no, it wouldnt be id like to clarify my amendment both the notices have been written in the families primary language and quite frankly i would like to vote on the eviction piece of it i understand that commissioner mendozamcdonnell talked about other displacement issues like the citys other displacements under 9 category it is a category we recognize legally a no fault eviction those students be allowed to remain in their Current School for the remainder of the school year if this is not the pleasure of this board im open to the suggestion of having it im hearing it is not that big of an impact quite frankly the families youve have i got that is something that many, many of our families are facing every day we have it in writing as a policy families know they have protection it is one less thing to worry about of what school their children been going to there is that having had students that lived 40 in shelters and being evicted and attend so many different schools that is the observation of our Child Education what theyve moved out of San Francisco with no fault of their owner or desire that is unduly impacts additionally impacts the families stress about displacement from the board would be agreeable we have it in writing and that families event ethiopian will know they have protection one last thing to worry about the main role to remain they may choose to do a transfer or may choose to enroll their child closer to them but not to give them the positive affirmation about dont worry about this this is one piece you dont have to worry about welling we will educate our child at the Current School of if so a highly requested school just to lend the family additionally stability if new colleagues will agree superintendent but. Before we move to a vote on the two amendments superintendent carranza. President murase yes commissioner fewer i have thoughts we should do bother in the body of language a clear statement of policy i on the board is very, very puncture concessus around the amendment we would like to is it come back to be clear and specific within the body of language all the Additional Details it is clear that outlive autos all of us the policy is very, very clear and make sure for those individuals that are watching us on tv may not understand the context why question have this kind of a policy it is very, very important to understand that in a choice system in San Francisco when there are nonSan Francisco residents occupying their feet in highly subscribed schools philosophy stance of board and the administration those seats this should be given to residents of San Francisco thats why are we have a policy and making sure we are endorsing and actually looking to make sure that San Francisco residents are in those hive spubd schools with that it was not mentioned in the cases weve rectified four residents fraud the vast majority have not yielded resulted from dishonest folks have been approached where do you live rather than be forthcoming those are the circumstances i dont actually live there, there becomes a process of not very truly full answers im ask them the language will help clarify the rights and were not locking to revoke residency but ask the public please assume the best intentions of the go district if there are circumstances we can account for those circumstances and provided you with an opportunity to stay in our school you have to be honest and present the documents and if you work with us were absolutely going to work with you so i would encourage the board my humble opinion to adopt both the thought maximums adds to the policy and staff comes back with Additional Details that make that more clear. Thank you mr. Superintendent two amendments proposed the first one to send both notification in the primary language its been moved is there a second on that amendment roll call please yes student delegate. I wanted to ask for the over here for the residency it says homelessness is that the same depiction as a families in transition as San Francisco Unified School District the no child left behind.

Guaranteeing how do you fellow that when i retired i took courses in the brain and diligence and learning in the brain it was important for everybody to shake our heads so youre blood goes to the brain youve been sitting over two hours we need more strategies to help children learn be critical thinkers that is what Spring Valley has been doing San Francisco was established in 1950 the gold rush in 1852 Spring Valley was one of 7 schools established during the combrushd period every single one of the 7 has closed Spring Valley is the only one left and by february the 92016 Spring Valley will be one and 64yearold so it i did not had had doctoral dissertation she xhoifrmd west of the mississippi Spring Valley is the older school so several years ago, i made sure before i retired that Spring Valley School Remains on the roads to perpetuity no matter who comes and sits on the boards Spring Valley remains Spring Valley does not change the name i dont want lonnie chin school anywhere so laughter theres some bad things that happened in 1882 just like what is that tumble guy no muslims into the United States in 1882 someone said no chinese to the United States and you know what that happened so chinese were not allowed to come until i think 1964 when they changed the rules that i think in the 1950s one and 5 chinese were allowed to come to the United States so in 1965 thats when we saw a huge influx of chinese speaking students thats why we became the largest chinese you know student body in San Francisco at one time 20 percent of population in california was chinese and so there are you have it but Spring Valley is very unique in that there was a parent named mary tape and probable the chinese name a yip or whatever so ms. Hurley what the principal at Spring Valley and said to the family when we came to immoral no. You dirty chinese cant come here well start a special school for you that the original school that is coming donor stockton is now gordon allow school the connection is close and unique but youre here talking about the Charter Schools Spring Valley since i was there for thirty years has been ill tell you why i stated for thirty years i was lucky enough for many supermarkets asked me to come down do the board and work i hated paperwork so i preferred to stay in the school with the parents and the kids doing what we do best teaching, learning, discovering and questioning and being curious okay and so during that thirty years we were part of many, many initiatives working on science cha which became a kinds of Magnet School and worked on conflict instructions one of the first schools to do it where children learned to solve problems and a lot schools do that nowadays okay. So always also we were interested how to improve intelligence even though students are not English Speakers so we developed chinese bilingual and spanish bilingual programs and i daresay that Spring Valley is potential the most integrated school in San Francisco 40 percent are asianamericans, 33 percent are spanish speakers, 11 percent africanamerican, and maybe we can find 3 percent european americans the school is a very segregated weve been if we still count the a by i scores we are a 10 is my times over laughter im going to take over for e reign now sorry im retired so i dont care laughter i do care im here to fight for the Public Schools to make sure that Public Schools remain Public School and they are not privatized theyre trying to do with what do you call those schools Charter Schools all righty reign wanted me to tell the audience the common core has 33 mentor texts and theyre a recommended list but only 9 of these deal with asians in california talking about all the asian groups in tfa california you can count at least a dozen so that is very, very skinny you know so mower take recommends working since 1969 to develop the chineseamerican curriculum for the district a lot of that is you know history has not changed a maybe some of the you know the technology has changed but so wed like the district to go help take we organize some of the materials to be useful for all the schools and you know since Spring Valley as well as a number of schools in San Francisco participated in project 20 61 that resolution in his the country a lot of the materials were developed in San Francisco and the question where are they so those should be used theyre like a common core develop Critical Thinking and project based learning and student gender learning and so forth im going to give you some stuff that Spring Valley has been trying to do more information to know what good teaching is all be.

Focusing on the quality of the programs they actually had a meeting with whats going on keep going on okay. I was impressed by the work that melanie and her team we need to show this to richard for a few minutes to show you some of the work we talk about the quantity and talk about the numbers of students enrolled in more of the data in enrollment in offstreet parking ems to ma necessary and want to say a couple of things you should be interested over three hundred k resolution from her every year not a retro hydra is hearing that it is impressive okay.

Thank you very much for that kevin superintendent and disrupting and commissioners thank you for the opportunity to present as kevin mentioned weve been focusing on quality in the Afterschool Programs this my fourth year we adapted a Quality Improvement my role to take all the documents that come through the district the strategic plastic bag plan and vision 2025 and the board of education bringing the extend guidelines and did meeting with principals and goes to crosswalk the data to talk about the theory of action that we drives the Afterschool Programs to the excel Program Notice the color cooperation we have 5 areas we say is a quality if our packets you can follow along with the more engagement to schools and other positive ervin fluency with that, weve come up with a perfect discussion beforehand ambassador and if you look at it is we have the foundation of programs that are the systems the whos also of the bus and the 3 Program Areas in support of climate and academic support each the areas the face of culture and climate of the district the same save and support of culture and support of activities in the school are pushed into the after school it is modeled after the wellness and the support component civilian by the scorecard and the Schools Education we take all of those a different process if you look at briefly part of the driven process is a assessment check list youll . The colors match the windows and the wleelz on the bus everything we align to color coding has helped in our conversation in the Advisory Committee selfassessment to mapping the programs by the multiple tier system to see what is happening in each the programs and how it stays with those tiers with a that information you have in obvious or youre packets a common planning time in august for principals and their Afterschool Programs go together and go through a guided inquiry process that led to the principle part of that that basically creates the quality action plan clap we call it for shorthand excuse me. The goals for each of those 5 areas you saw so all it a intentional process ill wrap up we have coaches support the sites to do labor pushing to focus on quality and also the big thing that were all talking about the same language all our measures are tied to the School Quality index for this same indicators and kevin will talk about some of that. As we reviewed were wvptd the x telling sell we want to focus think outside the box the quality and adrc to the Student Experience were looking at the core school climbing and culture surveys and trying to looking at want gpa and other programs and reading scores results for the parents student surveys weve found that excel participation remember excel that the sfusd branded name for the office what . Standard and excellence im sorry to put on the spot i theres days of schools and actionism reduction in rates a what do you mean that is selfparticipants are less likely to participate in school and more likely to be participated in school if youre in Afterschool Programs concerning the africanamerican students have the highest chronic an telling them and yet if they participate northbound if africanamerican students are partnering in excel they have a lower chronic an tim frye they have the highest gains in attendan attendance. Once very joined the Afterschool Program at middle school and high school achieved an average gpa of 3. 843 if middle school and 1. 38 in high school compared to the gpa 9 Previous Year that is significant ma new said that made her son comboiblg for football, of course, he won other things im just saying that made him combooblt the freshmen year and africanamerican achieves average gapping of 4. 4 compared to the Previous Years it is important to know after school were looking at this data an telling them and gpa and reading levels with the now, maybe brent can tells you it is impressive it is commissioner norton thank you so much i know it means that kids are reading better thats good. All right. I hate to ask you this just to say you dont know what it means. I dont know what one. 00. I want to know that means one day a week or one day. Over the course. Over the course of the year. The year oh, thats really good. Okay. So now weve transitioned were almost wrapping up so scomplibz heres our data i know you have since last time in april of 2014 when we reported back we wanted to share the numbers of after school 26 thousand 58 students enrolled in k 5 and three hundred thats the enrollments enrollment numbers are increased of those three hundred and 78 more students enrolled if Afterschool Programs since april of 2014 okay decrease three hundred and three students not enrolled three hundred and 25 less students not enrolled one and 21 more students three hundred more students in offsite programs and 20 fewer schools with waiting lists reinforcing those are reduced the total fiscal year funding this is over 7. 20 century and dcyf match seeing the number not clearly 16 thousand 079 so 16,000,719,000,000 thats the overall budget marry melanie. Great on the other tasks we talked about the comprehensive guidelines the Central Online there are preliminary conversations with the technology plans for being put in place those conversations we folded into that the comprehensive information source currently as part of our children and Families Initiative that is a required to have a comprehensive services inadvertent folding that into the conversation and pilot some kind of services in the spring of 2016 the equalityable copayment the combination of School District and on the communitybased organizations we met with them 6 times to talk about ways to think about an equitable copayment to see how you will do sorry how you will determine the latinamerican scale where it falls on the sliding scale and in the preparation of making decisions with the team and the start time is an opening conversation about school start and high school and Elementary School and middle school were actually ending up doing a lot of work with consolidating the program i think El Dorado Middle School and weve gone working on a case by case basis and learning a lot about what that means to go from a school maybe two or three separate programs to trying to merger and consolidate and bring in all the schools and learn look what that means for custodial so i think those two experiences will form a lot of work Going Forward. We conclude. Thank you seeing and hearing no questions commissioner wynns. Commissioner wynns. Thank you so much and for all the incredible work youve been doing im so happy but i have a few questions the first, it one of the things it doesnt have progress here on is the xhoeflt into one provider at every school can you give me an update. Yeah. Were looking at real on a case by case basis the condolence is complex because of a number of schools you have programs that maybe excel exempt if the stated requirements and a licensed requirements a lot of complications and you may ended up with one provider at the school that has a be a slow process for families they feel developed if we pick one over the other each group of parents is connected to that that program and creates a lot of anxiety so it has been a process at each school evolves in a different way looking at El Dorado Middle School and doing that at sunnyside to learn more. I kind of like to be for us all to get an update dont tell you what was happening in each school if Everyone Wants to that that great. How many schools are reduced how and id like tool have some if you could give us some sense what you said is important id like to know will it take 10 years how many schools where are we not school by school how it is going in part weve discussed that might want times that you described social economic and racial segregation that is unacceptable and part of the idea of doing that we were trying to make after school available to everyone and also as you said much anymore integral part of school and the minority providers situation we have in my objection i experienced didnt do that and im also are we down to the providers excuse me. Have two nobody has more than two anywhere. In many of the schools one or two still pta and other programs percentage take a way allow parents to packing pick one day and change one hour in simply drop in on a larger level that is impossible to staff the program you have people youre offering 5 hours a week and not find the people that is complex because the people are tied to the Enrichment Program if the way it is developed so it takes a lot of conversations at the school base level otherwise they become more dwefs we are trying to merger the proms and understand this it is not a recommendation from you i dont object if people want to have the enrichment my choice they will xhutsd in the school plan we say that is not really an Afterschool Program or it is an Afterschool Program so id like to you give us some recommendations about that eventual and if i may i want to say i appreciate how much work is gone into the qualities work i was hoping for at least i think i was hoping for an increase in the number of paternities id like four to comment about it now but sometime in the future soon tell me wag you think how long to get to the goals we have had and the goals he understand those systemic goals youre giving process today, we actually have angle ability to provide the theres capacity i think so theyre not separate but like to have a sense how much that is holding up im i delutsdz or overly optimistic i want to talk about one other thing that is about the funds because i do i think i want to urge the staff i i know that is the third rail changing start times of school is the reason we have all the dcyf money going to do bridge times instead of serving for kids of this is tough in my opinion we have put off for years and years the other thing not their deal a lot of pursue to have the start minds for high school i hope that is being folded into that discussion and get a report but also i have again, a discussion with mistake with the Afterschool Programs and talked about what we can gordo about talking about the state rules that require us to have all that bridge funding foreign the half an hour we shou pursue no. Your not delutsdz i want to Say Something we will provide you with the timeline for some of the numbers what we can anticipate those increasing to i dont think that is a problem at all we can do that. I mean a lot of that progress has been made it is some stems people are getting the message and have their own timelines so there as we speak right now several schools in the process youll start to see those numbers increase and the other is that with the funds again, you mentions meanwhile meeting with michael you had a request about funding. No, i wanted to have it said here a lot of the dcyf funding we spend which the city has commented to spends is used no to increase the capacity but fund the times between the closings of our early start schools and the follows up for the states rules other after school funds that doesnt allow to 3 oclock if we could free up the money from most of it from providing that bridge time we could serve a lot for kids some of it is it fretted up if we change the start time and freeing up like changing the regulations. I have commissioner walton and commissioner norton before you there is a couple members of the public any Public Comment on this item . Okay seeing none, commissioner walton then commissioner norton thank you president murase and tb thank you for this animated presentation a couple of things the selfassessments for excel programs or all the programs in the district utilizing this. Right now the x sell programs all the other programs could use them but something we can suggest and make that available whether or not they need them we have not gotten to look at all the programs and look at the resources but something that can be available for all the programs. You can look at any School Program online. Thank you then a ses is a what. An after School Enrichment and safety a proposition 49 that passed in the 80s but funds k through 8 and the 21st century is k through 12. And then last id like to see higher margins of increases in some of the percentages increase is always great i appreciate the hard work and looking forward to seeing the increases thank you. I do want to mention one thing a couple years ago we lost the High School Funding not to guaranteed thing just because we apply we dont get it we have a higher percentage with Afterschool Programs a large number of grants were under a good place but want to remind us not to take that for greeted not guaranteed. Commissioner norton. I just dont think i understand it as far as an arrangement between other different programs i mean it used to be there were we had funding we cracked with cbos like the yuma walk through or between the district neighborhoods to administer a program for us, and organizations that parents had completely set up as nonprofits to provide the services is that still the case and how many sites where there is 2 programs operating. I dont know exactly at high schools there are none it is more me elementary level tiling ill get it to you before the funding is it available. I remember not super long ago when new kids were in Elementary School their elementary had 3 programs operating one was a through the richmond ymca the other one introduce the richmonds district be neighborhood selfcenter and i would be interested in thinks how many schools are still in that kind of situations and you know the issue of capacity in building capacity that was really i understand the intent behind that; right . To have so that i mean, i approached opinion it is true in middle a sort of a different situation particularly in families in Elementary School i want every family in whatever school to have after School Capacity with the sliding scale bans their income level i want to understand how far away from that vision it may take us years but where are we in terms of capacity to serve as many families at many of the Elementary School in particular that point the service because i hear complaints from families that is a well, you know, i went through the enrollment process and didnt get any thirds Choice School except inform Afterschool Program and i hear that i dont want Afterschool Programs that needed a reality not a barrier to families navigating our Overall School find that works for them. Eventually were going to have a time when we say you know make the spaces and the waiting list is gone well have to say this is when it is going to maple were working this in but have to let the schools know youre working towards this we have this resolution we have totem this will happen that is coming not going to drop down if date tomorrow work with them and take some time to bring two programs into one or 3 into one and not leaving it up to the principal melanie had 5 meetings were not doing this and doing this now it will take time but set a deadline no point waiting list and making sacrifice at the schools the conversation with the teachers we need to condense the classrooms defense a process we said, yes this has to happen but havent said you know you work this in and so work towards marking that happen and give the teachers enough warning so at the end of the school year that will have to be soon i cant imagine here im stick my neck on a limb but i said
