Thank you and a resolution so our first meeting was on the thursday and we got around 50 to 40 people and looking to the next steps to see how we can support all students and looking forward Work Together with different high schools across San Francisco district. So yesterday we have an f ac c meeting the topic that came up was around what happened and june just for the record as a student i dont go there but i cant imagine how the students feel around this issue but admire your strength and resolve yesterday the f ac c shared what their schools were doing to share their is it not correct with the staff and others so theyre good marshall accurate posters and washington i think talked about this in their lgbt and ethic study classes although the support at the sites all the students alleged that june jordan showed a lot of great unity during their difficult times. We have been as you may know i dont know only represent the students but june jordan in the district and first of all, thank you all sfusd staff and usf across the cd for their support and solid outlet minutes before and after that happened we definitely failed the support and solidarity and felt the solidarity and we recall very, very grateful for that and yeah going to june jordan as i mentioned my priority to go to june jordan and was one of the first ones i wanted to make sure that june jordan we are mourning this i think june jordan shows who we are for justice and eligibility and show well come together to build community and awareness of those events gun violation and violation is not just a problem at june jordan but across the country and the world and i think that this is not only the problem, of course, we see in our city and across the community but a good moment San Francisco schools are go talking to come to together and work in solidarity my school is cereal an example of what happened of oppression and students dont get the love from their participants and community this is a result my principal has talked about that and quoting one of our sisters this leads to not seeing what he said how can students and young men feel hopes it is easy to take someones life so easily there is a great moment for us, to come together and Work Together june jordan is devastated well overcome and get the support we need and all appreciate it from everyone who showed the support in many ways and weve gotten at least from our students postcards from Elementary Schools from the youngest to 9 oldest staff theyve come to us in supporting you guess alumni staff and organizations that support june jordan so we are appreciated it in this video i want to thank the superintendent for helping us this last Minute Technology difficulties and the request for the certification i think the video will speaks for itself it is a way if it didnt happen everyone is moving fast i was talking about how everyone across San Francisco to be awareness of this so ill let the video speaks for itself and thank you to everyone. What occurred in that school october 18th didnt reflect us as a school like what were fighting against oppression not that something happened that what happened to us is now taken care of and it is like coming back home to a place i feel safe spiraling and emotionally. June jordan is a school question came together no solidarity no matter what solidarity no matter whai solidarity no matter whan solidarity no matter what happens. In my voice is important in that what is on my mind can be important. The first day june jordan opened the children walked through our doors theyre our children we treat them like family. We still agree who we are without you know not being ourselves. And i have a lot of freedom here im able to bring my as a mother and i think that is actually helpful it is an important vibe here you know are interest problems yes there are problems everywhere. I love the way it the teachers and everybody combines and comes together. Help the students and the connection and the you know all the students and all the staff i have so much love theyre like extend families my kids are any family and theyre my brothers and sisters. I need someone who is here and the parallel is really everybody is together and look out for each other and really need that and do it out of the love not out of fear. We put ourselves in the shoes of another or skin of another help to understanding and understanding is a complete application. clapping. i just want to point out that moments you saw in there were a day after the incident happened i think we did talking we had a huge circle across the quad and brought out the community so the video speaks for itself how beautiful organized the community is coming together across San Francisco and one of the most beautiful things that can be accomplished and will be accomplished thank you a lot guys.

Dickey and pastor brown and my colleagues as well as and the leadership cap to make sure that all department within the district align and that everyone has a certain focus and goals to enroll to make sure all our initiative the ali initiative have a achievement in the success and continue to push to continue to hold us accountable i share that with parents if youre not sending emails and not licensed and not letting us know what is happening in the school we cant address it so make sure that things are not happening and the mistreatment were not doing what were supported supposed to what were committed to say happening and also love to see at smooiment maybe the next time we have a conversation outside of this some kind of list from parents point of view in terms of what they feel is the best schools are for the black children there loose amiss things i tend to disagree with that we look at the resiliency and schools are focused on guilty and a lot of leadership from the young people in the schools you see that note let anyone blame the schools because of there are schools isnt district that are great for the children id like to hear under the parents perspective i have two children one at marshall and have a reason theyll be fine but again, if we dont send the right message resupport the schools right for our kids well continue to hear the list id like to hear from our parents and just to talk about some of the things were responding to particularly about more option for Credit Recovery you saw the opportunity for doing the enrollment added city college more than that city College Classes are taken at the level of credits you get from the district perspective and Summer School stunt and more night school and more opportunities well continue to push the work on more than that Credit Recovery opportunity we hear you and doing things and the last thing from a safe space perspective we saw the recommendations there we say have not forgotten what happens at lowell and focusing on the effort eel youll hear what is take place and push that community and all School Community to make sure working with all parents and in the and backgrounds and make sure that when black children succeed all children succeed and have the biggest gaps in achievement with the latino you notice the things that are tend to be broken and the whole link comes together and the whole chain well continue to push and again sometimes we dont get information we run around and try to get the information so thanks. Commissioner mendosamcdonnell. Thank you so much for your time and energy and organizing in the community we all appreciate it im curious on your current membership how many you have a goal of increasing it by thirty percent i was curious what our membership currently looks like and the levels across the city and parents or students attend. So when we came to june we were looking at an average of 24 africanamerican parents we have over the sums our retreats and Leadership Teams trying to figure out and determine what membership it is we have Community Members that want to be active in the apac africanamerican members that have past parents very important and private School Parents that have potential with the sfusd that want to come back and make sure were not pushing away the support but on the africanamerican parents and sfusd that he determines our membership what did it look like according to our operating guide it is you must be a parent of an africanamerican student and people that attend quite often not parents of africanamerican students but 25 on average since the last two apac meetings well have pretty great turns out so something that sparking and in the reports we want to engagement our family and pass on the information it is expanding i think the last meeting we had on mrs. Marshall said one hundred ill not say one hundred it was a nice packed room i think that sxhaengs know that is incredible and hopefully, theyll contact and become members the apac in addition to that general apac meeting our school remarks to the commission as a whole and not to individuals. Were feeding information from the general apac so it is individual sites and their using it and thinking about changing our location or not changing location but spreading the love across the country e across the city because current our meeting are in the bayview and people dont have transportation of my own and cant make it there but thinking about the Leadership Team and the parents are proponents of that and the parents are thinking of ways we can do is one of the places for the continued activity was a workshop and beyond theyre pushing the ali team working with the ninth grad workshop but how to prepare the parents and special ed our first apac meeting superintendant lee was at parents want to know how to navigate and support the students so because we cant take the entire meeting well move that and bring it to different sites in the city and have them so membership look like funny. Thank you peri wanted to just understand how we can be more helpful in making sure that people know this is a space and opportunity i want to quickly tell a story about something that happened at a High School Fundraiser i attended with any husband that upset me if i didnt leave the room i would have been escorted out i had a conversation with a parent that basically was engaging me around what her kids need and the kids of the other students at a particular school and i as a board member needs to focus on that if that was what i needed to Pay Attention to and she had made an effort to come to an apac meeting she heard the apac parents feel fortunate so have their kids graduate and that was my lug took a few steps back they legend into me she said oh, i offended you. No every Single Parents in the School District those things happen in our schools that increases this idea that our kids are not worth and dont believe in them that theres no need to support them, that we have to change i go i personally wanted to say i can say this we believe in all our children and we are trying to set up as many mechanisms to not only deal with the institutional deal that puts our children in a place they are already but and increase the number of opportunities so they can be successful in college and career and i share that only because as i listen to some of the recommendations that are to me absolutely we need to be on top of all this in addition to all this we need to do a lot more and the idea that a parent feels comfortable to approach me and say that allowed is appalling we need more voices to be part of the organization of our district to be more representative so that when those kinds of comments come at us we can knock them down way faster than that before i want to appreciate our work and appreciate our commitment to all of the kids and i mean, i think youve seen over the years the support we want to provide and weve done this to our staff and the commitment we are making this is really important to us so thank you. Thank you i want to thank our presenter and every member of the africanamerican parents Advisory Council im blown away by the progress youve been able to make when we sat down with mr. Dickey to review in detailed was the resolution we introduced labor that was supported anonymously by the board i never imagined it would come this far in such a short period of time we want to shout out to Virginia Marshall and others i want want to pooij meeting a couple of years ago an argument where we can forward first class postage and it was such a hard struggle to get the attention of the resources necessary and to be here and see how much progress weve made i want to acknowledge my mentor in this area linda jordan and carl, and mitchell and bill miller came up with black lives matter to gal in his this i went to black family day and see see outpouring the enthusiasm and acknowledge our work and thank you very much i know that is lots of hours away from our families your hungry not fwlam reduce work but on behalf of the district and board we thank you. First my apologize to the audience for arriving late. Thank you for the presentation so i just have when i really want to supervise my comments on the recommendations i also think and hearing about our membership i understand that there are a lot of supporter but i think first and foremost it is about our africanamerican parents and also parents students that are africanamerican we have the loudest and strongest voice and the most to gain other supporters i feel like are important to the group but as we grow in membership make sure it is really those apartment in our School System that are vocabulary and fight not only for their own children but they know first hand what the experience this is the venue that is adequate i want to mention that you know, i understand that we have a facilitator and staff but that really i ran a parent combrfrment group we have facility oversees i was one of the facility oversees i realized not until the group was 22 or 25 they pooushd on me that was sort of this power structure that i had naektd a School System before i was good and teaching them but it was not until 22 or three parents in the room we upset that power structure their pushing back on you this is the goal that we should have and even though were failed by sfusd that i would like to see this group be opposed to not compromise and not be complacent this is the group that actually has the power and voice to say this is wag is wrong and call us out and be the ones to interrupt this racism in our deduct and this is the power you have been you as parents users youre the ones that are impacted the most and should be the biggest voice thats why it is great to know why to navigate and support our chrnl child and give you our Critical Friends to advocate d organize so theres ass is an organizing element for empowerment. Group of empowered people that know what quality education looks like what fairness and quality looks like and demand it and actually take steps in order to object this is when we know at the unified School District we have finally succeeded in overcoming our historic racism in the district i want to talk about some of the recommendations in that light one i think that it is important to know that some of these things i mean some of the things i hope the africanamerican parents Advisory Council been ask for the data. The ethics study was going on where are we now and where do we need to go and the outcomes for the black students in the ethics class is it serving them well and positive and if it is a mechanism we want duplicated those are the kind of questions we really want the parents to understand so if youre power to request the information that it is actually a powerful tool to have the real data, data can be persuaded to analyze the data very well and the measure is about how are the black students doing thats the measure so africanamerican families and schools lets talk about how many of them are there whats the outcome what are the roles in those schools are they empowering and how are they being used and the recovery how are the resources serving black students are they getting black students to graduation if not why not and increased the cultural and diversity awareness for all staff you should have a first aid and review the design of what that training is you know is that through the loans of quality or presented by someone that is not who didnt understand being a stakeholder and has the most to lose and recruitment and hiring the black educators are the educators are they kre7b8dz are are they have the skills to teach the children thats an important thing i think weve had this board many discussions about what is a teacher that we would wanted in a classmate for africanamerican students a teacher with a perfection of the class and then you know assigning a potty trained educator our for the schools chases the turnover and the measure were looking at to actually make it not is school anymore we have the practices this is sort of the push back that i hope my times on the board is short im leaving in december but hoping that when i listen in i will hear a push back of suggestions that i guess recommends you have the data to support and push as a group users an organizing model to punish on the district make sure we are doing our job and Board Members we come and go quite frankly but your children you have them for the rest of your lives this is so important i think to remember that even though the site is sometimes terrifying and someones uncomfortable but to think of a whole group of students not be successful in the 21st century this the kind of thing when we had this group it started off this is the element we want to make sure it is really integrated and do you feel empowered to do if i could leave you may be with one thought and i will hope it is you have the power to do and your voice is your power but must be organized this is how to this is how the change happened i was a pta parents and ran a parent advocate very group one or two people three or four, all of a sudden 25 and we want to pack this room with one and 50200 people brown and black and thats how we make the team i think that so i applaud all the parents here and the applaud the work and want to give you an encouragement lets see the change and thank you, thank you for taking this step commissioner norton. Thank you. I want to thank you for the work and apologize for not being here last week, i was sorry to miss it but want to talk about the recommendations that you made really i think theyre interesting and important but i have some of weve heard that we need to make we need to them to be discussed within the context of what is already happening and how we can get some of the things done the principles youve are articulated and things well support but im interested in helping and also understanding knowing more about where exactly where we are and the next one after that and after that so im not tonight do we have any africanamerican liaisons at school sites are those school sites that have families liaisons at all because thats something im interested i believe that all schools should have additional ones and also how many schools actually have africanamerican parents advisory counsels what i understand thats your job but i think id like to have more details about that so we can be thinking about what else is going on at the schools things that we both ask them to do and push them to do and how those things are aligned and cooperated im thinking we staff mainly but have the kind of pull pet to you make the next step happen you have are doing both the work on the ground and having the context that is essentially, we cant do the next step without the context and have citizens about that i think we do im very excited about the work particularly the alignment with the initiative i think that the work of initiative is something i have great hopes and very supportive of and some of the things weve talked about well hear about that tonight but the specific work in specific schools in the areas youre talking about fits in with what is happening those are the things i think sort of the next layer the knowledge and information that i would like to have and i think well all benefit from again, thank you for your commitment and all the work thanks. Can i ask a question is that appropriate . I feel weve gotten a lot of support and a lot of parents working on site and have the port of ali team won questions that comes up with based on in their experience as a parents a lot of the work an apac or bs u or celebration of africanamerican cultural is based on the capacity or the interest or the ability the site leadership and it is not the job to manage principles and a lot of competing things in the district i guess my question to you you can commissioner wynns and i guess to after all you when we surface things what is the metabolism at this point foresight that dont the the capacity or list the efforts to put some of the viruses in place i dont know of a specific structure to serve hey, ill trying to start an apac no one is listening or conversation amongst the parents something is going on obtain at lowell i dont know where to go with those types of questions and dont know what structure currently exists to meet out ios kind of exceptions expectation. A lot of people want to respond to it superintendant guerrero. So over a Quick Response ms. Coming down the pike we expect our families to work in collaboration with the administrators i do believe they share the deep commitment to the challenges were facing, however, if at any point there would be benefit to some Additional Support or expectation ill certainly invite the families to reach out to the principal supervisors and the superintendent their more than happy to broker some of the conversations and if at many point it feels like this need to be elevated dont hesitate to bring that to my attention as at deputy superintendent. Commissioner wynns. Not my role to say this but this superintendent should be his role it was perfect laughter . Commissioner norton i apologize for the presentation ill watch it online but interested in the recommendations and grateful for your work and just the engagement that is happening that is really the beginning of moving from commissioner fewer to an empowered model for parents im appreciative of the parents work and i said to just over a suggestion i see the leadership the folks in the back of room and heard what you said about the parents asking a lot of questions about special ed as a former member i think theyll be thrilled to collaborative with apac and their kri78 incredibly knowledgeable people that advise parents all the time i think that feels like a great collaboration to have the leadership how to Work Together. I wanted to say they spoke on the partnering weve been trying to work closely with the safety team and the community Advisory Council for special ed and working closely with the folks at special ed. Thank you so much for the presentation i had an inquiry while listening to it as an ethic members and from a Student Perspective i was wording how soon can we get involved in that this is called upon apac the student Advisory Committee students would be interested in getting involved and a lot of strong people in the city that want to bang about due policy im not sure where the students can come into this yeah, that general thing. Thank you. We actually did a forum were interested in what the students have to say excuse me so if you have any students interested in coming out we think plan that and actually set up a panel for student discussion because we do want to know what the students want i am not as parents we know what we want as paefrpt but it is important to work with the students and the teachers and the parents to selectively to make sure the students have what they need to be successful. Yeah. Thank you all for the representation i have 3w0ik9d a lot of the meeting ive boycotted like two weeks ago they were unexpected but about the Community Organizing definitely you have to ask what you want and giving the input hoosiers realistically he was able to do that yeah how dot communities make a difference and he would like to reach out to you guys, i know that jessica said this is a parental led thing but if we can find a way to get more members and talk to bs u i know this is the first year so this will be personally want to theyre the minority and be representative in the students board in the district me myself coming from a majority we are and im liking to see the process of sfusd so reach out to you guys and kind of echoing what a lot of people Say Something ive learned from any school and being in this position and working on the project is accountability and you guys said that is the beautiful thing about that were seeing today that you guys are keeping accountability and allowing this in the district the changes and i definitely hope that all this gets into action so thank you a lot and for coming tonight. Commissioner walton. Just a brief response to a question that was raised by a presenterer. From the board of education we dont manage principle leaders thats not our role but ms. Fewer answered the question parents working together to brfr each other at various sites if you dont have a b issue you work with the community or bring it to our attention like the parents do and do well, we Work Together on issues but sometimes, we need the extra persian and attention and working together with collective parents it is variable and powerful from that end and perspective. Yes. Id like to say that has a parent with the least amount of resources that i can have the heart harder time to organize this is so much power and so thats why we see a pattern; right . Of come it is the participants that have the less amount of resources and time to advocate i know that it is a very time consuming thing to do and quite frankly but once you do it you teach others to do it it is really powerful and the changes you want to see in individual school sites it is stakeholder around the organizing the people that stand together for a common process and weve seen that change its course of instruction because of voices that came out and said this is not right ill say that is the key but continue to actually, i know that colleagues you do this for so many communities but continue to punish on our elected official thats what theyre there for quite frankly thank you. So i wanted to one of the goals to say to talk about black History Month not only in february the apac when sitting down to work on the goals for the year maybe that was tony and some of the parents said we have to talk about black History Month and making sure that is important because cultural is important we need to make sure that is front and center and tony volunteered to make sure were bringing in some history so you wanted to end the presentation if it is okay to give you on every flier from apac jaunldz now and on the presentation youll see a symbol that is a slight way to increase the way we share that cultural with them. Hello commissioners nice to see you all i know some of you are super busy can someone put this on this page is fine my name is tony ive been a team apac member over 10 years ill be bringing in through apac and now im actually a paid parents organiz organizer coordinator im lobbying for votes laughter okay. So i think so basically, it was a west africa they have proverbs this is translated royalty or leadership so theres plenty of well, ill id like to talk about african cultural and black cultural we as black people are all over the planet and have commenting i was raised in the south and couldnt find my roots until west africa i see it in song and to answer the questions im glad to see you empowered. Pushing back there are children in the room all the time and their observing everything we do because my daughter used to or used to be a part of children making a change now youth making a change and like to say stuff but i agree we need our own delegation but anyway, that is to ill leave it at that and to is even in the Fillmore Center sites there are symbols at the on top of the donor geary street last week ruby and concrete so theyre actually everybody and earrings black people didnt start with slavery and a young man, i know ill talk about that is take into consideration have a great day. clapping. thank you for that and the presentation and for your incredible leadership we are going to move on now any advisory member appointments by the board .

General motivators comments is now closed and item k special order of business one item it is planning commission, and may be acted upon by a single roll call vote action item can i have a motion and a second . To city college of San Francisco and sfusd college and career assess Pathways Partnership agreement. So moved. Superintendant lee. Yes. Thing commissioner president haney doctor koffman of the college and Career Readiness i believe is going to make some comments about the item. Good evening superintendant lee and guerrero and members of the board of education id like to just before i read into the record the shared Partnership Agreement acknowledge the Program Coordinator in College Readiness and annie that was a task at a highlevel between sfusd and cc sf to bring this shared Partnership Agreement to fruition and this really marks a transformation in how students learn that is building and continuing on the current dual Enrollment Program with uc sfgh and to reimaging time and space as outlined in vision 2025 so this is just a really amazing opportunity to increase the dual enrollment and the career to College Pathways to be College Ready the board of education San Francisco unified School District take public testimony on app and adopt the career Pathways Partnership agreement between cc sf as required and in accordance with the code 76004b the cc as was presented before the board of education as an informational item and pregnant e regular meeting of of october 11, 2016. Thank you, mr. Koffman no public speakers on this item any questions or comments from the board. So i have a couple of questions i mean a number of questions how this will work im wondering so i see the courses for that were offering in the spring who decided what courses and what courses will be offered like how are were going to decide what courses well offer this year. So the courses are actually no wonder between cc sf and sfusd in alignment with our current courses so the idea that to bui to build fidelity for opportunities for Certification Programs and to build our college and pathway too big build a Solid Foundation and moving forward well look at other courses that are available and really a negotiation between cc sf and the office of college of careerness. Do they limit the number. I dont believe so but in the beginning we wanted to start with a small very directive and targeted classes we set up with and just building on the current existing classes in the pathways programs to the school sites. Is there a little limitation on like only juniors and seniors can enroll or allow freshmen and others too. Im going to defer to may i hudson i know they have 16 years and older as part of agreement to enrolled students in the programs doesnt the change in the state law allow us to give credit to younger students. For this agreement it allows tenth and 11 and 12 graders to take other classes thank you. Dr. Murase. One question so the students that take the courses will they be awarded College Credits. Yes. Their offered not only College Credits but a cca. I appreciate that that very much theres been an ongoing discussion at the board about access for students that Point College credit scissors through the app program that has an uneven sustainability in the district i support this as another way for students to get College Credits thank you. Ms. Fewer. That is wonderful actually, i think this is the director we should be going instead of education classes it is an a t class i know that a t class actually, you dont get College Credits necessarily you score i mean the scale is one to 5 you get a 5 to get College Credits so no guarantee. So i then as direction actually, we should go with all our seniors it would be fabulous if all the students have College Courses it proves they can succeed with college the first generations to attend college i think outside the box this gives them the added confidence and an a t class is tact for text not the depth and the breathe of a full class and he also think that if they can get College Credits it helps them to alleviate some of the costs of college and want to see all the students have a year of College Credit under their pellet by the confidence im a graduate of city college and i went from George Washington high school and didnt think i had the confidence there were classes i failed and learned a lot from that but the opportunity i had and this is another plug for city college the opportunity to take the classes at city college was my father thought when i was 14 it was my opportunity to go to college but it changed my life quite frankly and gave me a second chaplain i think that when we have this opportunity for our students to take those classes i think that we should give it expanded and the partnership is what ive looked for many years and pushed this this is remarkable this is the right thing to do it is the right constriction for our kids and actually, i think that helps us level the Playing Field so thank you very much thank you. I agree i think this is really important step in the right direction we should be aware of and work on we have students that are are who are allowed to lots of students in high school to take classes in college and high school weve done life things to facilitate and that was one the original reasons for moving the school year forward was to be more closely offsite or i understand with institutions of Higher Learning Like City College with our students and like our educators to be able to participate some of the special development of other institutions of Higher Learning but we this was supposed to be a huge opportunity for students to be able to take classes at city college and they to this day and highend achieve students adding more to their transcript and to their experience it is great but didnt address the equity issues so this is a very important step in the right direction to make sure that we dont i remember what we have in place is the best intention is something that gives an opportunity and take advantage of the students we want to take advantage but not those who need it for Credit Recovery or an opportunity to assess Higher Education and career, etc. Im hoping that will be another lever in that work well be working on this relationship will help us to work more on things that we can do some of it may require well talk about that but looking at more flexibility and scheduled in high school for students they can do things off the campus more i dont know the answers or not im sure there are plenty of people with wisdom but this is important but i think the bigger issue about maximizing an opportunity for that the students is still unresolved we have a lot of experience well go with that and this work being a step in the right direction but hopefully help us too. Student delegate. Thank you yeah yes. I echo my school i know yeah city college sorry i know that is really great and goes into this college my school didnt have a t classes it is a great way to experience college and this is great kind of like to double check and also the students are not required; right . To take those for anything and information sharing didnt doesnt state what didnt say a lot but my concern is personally documented to how maybe you can answer this how city college followed up with with keeping the Information Private and safe. So thats one of the beauties of this agreement now a shared Partnership Agreement with that as well so the instruction with the Legal Department i dont know that the legalities but i i know that our Legal Department with sfusd is a Single Department working closely with our data shairl or sharing agreement that is all safe and secure and that protects our dehumanized students and other students that is a primary reason for being involved in it as well. Thank you. I actually appreciate youre raising that that was previously a barrier for some of the students to be able to take the classes at city college we had to go up to sacramento and get a bill back to address that issue to make sure that was 2540 it was attending to high School Students and make sure that continues to be monitored and have access for all the students i want to say one thing echoing from the entire board how excited we are about this work and hope that continues move forward and to expend tendered and debris to see the growth in the number of students that are enrolled it is extraordinary and appreciate a sweat shi shout ou education portfolio city college must be a foundation for what we can offer in educational experience for children and youth and young people in the city of San Francisco we cant have that conversation without starting with both sfusd and city college together and opening up the entire portfolio there is potential for us to do incredible things in terms of what we offer the students and the ultimate goal a pathway to high field careers here that allows them to stay and broadened in San Francisco and city college is a unique position to provide those pathways so thank you with that, i think well take a vote on this roll call please. Thank you for your work. Ms. Ing. Ms. Fewer ms. Mendozamcdonnell dr. Murase ms. Norton mr. Walton ms. Wynns and mr. Haney 7 is. clapping. all right.

Thank you, president haney im going to just make a few introductory remark our fabulous ali team and superintendant guerrero will make remarks as well the first thing id like to do it already happened by all the commissioners or most of i to thank the apac for some of the apac members that are still here i believe were all very appreciative of the work and the momentum that is building with apac and most of us have made at least within visit not apac this year and echoing other comments that commissioners have made i was really blown away by the turn out the deputy of the conversation, the engagement and the following through so i want to thank you, mr. Link youre work and all the members of the apac were encouraged to see such moementd building i want to thank reverend brown for his comments tonight and for extending himself so consistently and honestly to all of us including me personally i respect everything he said to us and shared with us tonight and agree with all of it certainly want to society myself with the point of view that we live and work in a deeply i think equal and unfair and racist society and we have to accept we situate our work in the context and doing everything we can to acknowledge it and combat it at the same time, we have to manage the tension i think this is a struggle for us and true with the ali team as well between being clear eyed about the status quo that is not acceptable and haunts all of us we must own and not paralyzed by the devastating status quo and celebrating the successes and investing in a acceptable self selfdefense a tricky balance for all of us and comes through in the discussion over the next several minutes and want to say remarked on that a few meetings ago i believe are commissioner mendosamcdonnell have made president haney referenced vision 2025 vision 2025 is a vision so for our students is absent of a repeat of some comments i made at an earlier meeting centered around this graduate profile once the graduate profile represent to us and to me and then Steering Wheel efficient vision of every graduate including every brake student that we serve to not just graduate not just have contact knowledge but to have a sense of belonging creativity and ability to collaborative and to be a Digital Citizen with a sense of belonging empathy and finally most important to be filled with a sense of purpose and value if this vision is something we can deliver as reverend brown and others said to all the teacher the africanamerican students every africanamerican student can excel i wholeheartedly agree every student in the district can excel this is a two part the apac presentation and the discussion was part one that is part two but the discussion definitely do hand in hand i will also like to thank the ali team theyll introduce themselves mr.

Dickey and his team for providing leadership capacity to continue to stay focused on the works but i want to recognize reverend browns earlier remarks that echo loudly for all of us we understand and only be successful by adapting a more expensive and collective approach to this work clearly this important work is not solely the responsibility of our apac and team we all have to share opener and accountable for this work i want to undermine there is an elevated level of priority this is Telegraph Hill been placed across all the conversations and leadership structures in San Francisco unified in addition to the ali lead activities youll hear about in a moment ill name a couple of examples youll hear some of these referred to tie in the presentation they everything just a pointed out a couple number one your superintendents Leadership Team by superintendant lee has selected as a key area of focus for the africanamerican students achievement and okay in the Underserved Community with the key focus for the school year, and, secondly, our deputy superintendent has initiated the yearlong studies of identifying africanamerican students at a vocal school to understand the challenge and the impact of your support and intervene and where we need to increase those third, i also want to make sure that it is clear we continue to monitor and provide direct support and intervene to schools like Lowell High School for africanamerican students themselves have voiced concerns within their community and learn how they maybe providing lessons not only within the community but how those practices might be expanded across many more schools commissioners in our in box you will find also a lengthy all of a variety of ways that staff is placing the emphasis often the africanamerican achievement a summary and update of the work at lowell and the board will be hearing at an upcoming meeting and hear an assessment the work commenced and coordinated by the superintendent and along with the clorox of many Central Office departments were putting a reenthused focus negative impact that the Bayview Community with that, im going to turn it over to mr. Landon dickey to present the fall 2016 for the africanamerican achievement thank you thank you intern superintendant lee and deputy superintendent superintendant guerrero for that introduction and thank you for having us i want to commend our parents Advisory Council and the hard working to make sure our black students are supported and vacated forfeiture for that presentation i really like to start off by expressing my apologies im too close to the my case by expressing gratitude for the people in the audience tonight for people sitting in front of me this work and this team were surrounded by everybody that care deeply about our children and not to do better he cant express enough the presentation for all it Community Partners our families our department of within the district, you are funderers and City Department all the incredible people that come together to move 24 work my name is is a Landon Dickey the personal assistant for the africanamerican leadership im joined by the ali and to my left is our to my right is post secondary pathway supervisor and our Junior Assistant and teacher our peeking coordinator and only because there was not enough seats ill say it go anthony our Program Coordinator. To share should some of the objectives for the presentation tonight there is 3 main things were to accomplish one establishing a database sign for africanamerican achievement and demographics at the usf and illustrating the way in which the africanamerican is a priority coons the Decision Making and provide a even if of the africanamerican achievement bodies of work over the 20162017 school year. So for some of you joining us for the fit so when i joined the district nearly two years ago at this point one of the well the first thing to acknowledge a robust body for africanamerican students but one of the things that we wanted to lift up the need to bring greater coherence and understanding to the work that was going on as well bio it possible to launch how to demonstrate how to do better by the africanamerican students one of the initial things establish a resolution with the boards support to leadout a pathway for the africanamerican achievement and way you anonymously supported as i really a Team Combined with districts that some Community Partners and a parents representative developed a theory action that was shaped where we put our focus over the last two years the main component without reading verbatim how to raise the exception in the africanamerican students and thinking about a gross mindset and professional development how we elevating the fact that in college it is something you yes for students and educators were focused on engaging a philanthropic empowering the africanamerican to a lot of events worthwhile and in which we enjoy working with the families and partnership and clorox into the events and some of the 09 work that happens in the background we are committed to have wrap around support for readiness for learning and you think front about the needs of students bring to the classroom and making sure theyre receiving support and addressing oversee needs and providing rigorous instruction we believe if we do all those things well have rebuilt trust with the africanamerican students and families and we heathen the relationship themes it is important as you may know offer the last 40 years that a series of efforts that havent taken us to a place Mental Illness we need to work hand in hand with the Community Partners to rebuild that and owner that trust back in terms of doing we we need to do for the africanamerican families and the students will be prepared for work beyond high school. So just to spend briefly on this slide met the 5 individuals including myself of our tame that function out of Superintendents Office and fortunate to have the support of peace and to expand to support we have four insofar as working at school sites directly with africanamericans so to start to permitted some of the context one of the things that we set out with our africanamerican Oversight Committee the Teams Holding outcomes for africanamerican students what to develop a score card and to be frank and transparent about where we stood with africanamerican students and to really start to train ourselves in a district with specific goals 3re7 to see how the goals with the goal of closing the achievement gaps for africanamerican students in the district and rewe aligned those to a specific measure to track and the 3 columns to the right on 20142015 what was the target for 20152016 and actually land at the end of this on this particular slide more measures and on the following one a bio measure in some cases not a measure we want to call it out it is important to move towards murray and tracking and on the initial slide around the Kindergarten Readiness and increasing the High School Readiness you see some progress there in terms of our High School Readiness race but unfortunately on other indicators youll see stagnant and moving in the wrong direction on the score card you have the student readiness indicator for special education and chronic absenteeism and their geared towards im sorry the majority are here the final two are referring our Graduation Rate and your uc eligible graduation retails and again so when it comes to fact results at the most we saw increases of 2 percent in the third grade we saw our greatest success in terms of Graduation Rates increase in the usc u eligibility rates so again, it is important that we are transparent and frank about the data within the district and i know with your Community Partners were all in agreement this is not sufficient and the process is not fast enough to close the achievement gap weve committed to tie in our resolution and part of emphasis is the heightened activities that we are putting in place for this year i want to say that while the data what about one thing that brings me solis is meeting the families and knowing theyre ready for us and waiting to catch up to our ability and intelligence and their capacities i believe the district we can do that. So for africanamerican students and sfusd overal we have about 45 hundred africanamerican students and 8 percent of the overall student population the greatest proportion off our africanamerican families in bayview Hunters Point followed by Visitacion Valley and sunnyvale and the western edition as deputy superintendent guerrero mentioned one of our vocal areas we want to say were looking for how are we thinking about supporting our bayview and wrapping around the partnering with all the departments and youll hear a little bit more about that next meeting. And then again, just quickly to give people a sense of belonging this slide shows where our africanamerican students are in greatest number in schools within the district abltd of a breakdown of how he break out by Elementary School and high school you have from ranging from Mission High School and the greenish hash you see the greatest number of africanamerican students the presentation will talk about how we look at instant change and the specific programs launched . Where that is striving to create within an initiative and the department we work with a misrepresent layer approach this slide ill not spent a lot of time but prek through 12 we made efforts over the last seven years and initiative to the Mission High School and Elementary School level and in the initiatives in the district and making a connection for success and through the r tyranny through the entire system on ecology and planning sniebt how we are working internally with the superintendent and the Office Making sure that we have the information we need to make intelligent discussions in supporting our students he and having a strong sense of belonging haggle the priorities for africanamerican students to talk about a little bit through the program youll turn to our assistant. Good evening the data is an internal place of business for all departments district wide in partnership with the research and accountability were feeding data on track status math and other data into an illustration what you say before you is a snapshot of a data illustration on the interface and through interest is mock data to protect the student identity but this will give you something about what the data looks like this interface enables us to look at the programs and policies good evening everyone youll roanoke that our students faculty. Staff posed unique assess for the proficient we had long invites with a particular lens around africanamerican achievement and lifting up stakeholders voices on the campuses how do we do that with school claimant visits and faculty and staff to lennar about the visits on campus with our team and see this connect work were gathering information and getting feedback from administrators to develop that emerge from the work in a timing fashion and plan think continuing this work and throughout the school year but in partnership with the directors to insure were having a conversation about the africanamerican students and family experiences and activities here on the slide as you can see this is what we did last spring and the schools we attended. So to the point of africanamerican entrepreneurial oversight one of the key areas was how are were going to elevate the africanamerican k450u6789 at the a priority really in overview table throughout the district ive been encouraged and i think we all have been to see the priority elevated cross the Decision Making bodies in the will district had the opportunity to work with the will superintendents Leadership Team to assure that the africanamerican achievement and action goals score card with utilized spevenlg with a lens serving the bayview and provide culturally and rigorous instruction within our schools we had the work lead belittles superintendent and director well be carrying that conversation throughout the year within the monthly meeting that queens with our principals and our supervisors and principals as deputy superintendent superintendant guerrero mentioned identified case study 7 in total were looking at identified and africanamerican data achievement in e l a and talking about moving forward with the score card that is one thing to insure were making pointing out specific strategies to support of the africanamerican in e l a and highlighted within the Resource Management were kaifrd what is going on in investment we support the africanamerican students specifically around literature. So just to go a little bit deeper into that we broke out or tried to give sight one the different teams within the district what are some of the things the use are for active measures looking at the he academic support so for the Strategy Development in the bayview ongoing Case Management activities for the students and Community Support teams within the bayview schools and as well as success for recruitment of africanamerican students within the superintendent the group of 25 mists across the district that work to support and to the policies and recommendations for the superintendent were working to develop the schools and enhance the other for africanamerican i shared about Resource Management and looking to that body and within the family empowerment carving forgot the camera for stakeholder and having the opportunity to center that less than applied to africanamerican families we shared that elevating the things in place to to the policies to program were going to share about 9 partnerships but ask mr. Irving to talk about that that. Ill speak to empower the africanamerican students for informed collaboration were striving to increase the africanamerican families that indicate a sense of belonging belonging and ownership in the school sites the collaboration with the parents and community and district partners and successfully hosted the third hpd or c and the College Signing event and supported the africanamerican honor roll together were looefrp into the expertise and concerns of families to provide engagement and resource sharing and to lift up the narrative for the africanamerican students and their families an important part of our work has been supporting the Africanamerican Community citizens advisory but thinking about how we are empowering all families and if 24 pleads to apac well be supporting them in that work and during the blank family day im going to call outburst something the way were moving forward with the africanamerican Family Engagement during black family day we held a supplement with the support of the black Family Resource and apac and the district cca and was of family partnerships and empowerment engaging our community to come together with africanamerican parents site administrators and family liaisons and teachers to look at creating the engagement with black families and certainly pushing opportunities and assess points for the africanamerican families doing so we know this work cant rest with families; right . A small group of families or just the mist or the family liaison but involving all the families to be kwaemd in a mature theres a twoway not just informing the black participants what they need to be involved before you ms. Fewer said whether the engagement since the last time we talked in june there has been a development of 5 additional aids apacs youll see up there and it is also the remaining 7 of the apacs at the school sites the list on the right the potential apac those are schools that reached out to us we want to focus on africanamerican Family Engagement and making sure the families are at the table were thinking about how to first bring a stakeholder theme together to talk about africanamerican Family Engagement and if theyre interested in creating an apac site. As we continue to think about the partnerships as we shared in the first 5 things in front of you weve been working to develop an initiative in front of you the partnerships with the bridge to success with the focus only insuring that were doubling the numbers of sfusd students underrepresented that graduated for college and career and working with the city college and sfaifrment and continuing to Carry Forward the africanamerican high School Students and graduates to be my brothers keeper and post secondary pathway to say about my brothers keeper and brothers and sisters and benefits through the brothers and sisters keeper to develop the partnership with multiple organizations some of the other things to note with moving forward with the brothers and sisters keeper were seeing resources directly citywide for a pathway for the my brothers and sisters and the Public Utilities commission and were also mar that ongoing priorities were better late than never how are we varnsz infrastructure and across all the projects within the district within the city to make it so were held accountability for the work happening within our strategy and make sure that that we are thinking carefully how to lift up information in realtime or what throughout all of the partners what is our Early Warning carts to help to offset the students in need whether cameras safety or health one of the things our group is strooifrl to lift up the instant number of families we focus the effort to make sure that the reality of my brothers and sisters keeper is directly with the families. The last section of this presentation is amongst the leadership the work were doing directly or impacting students within our communities and one thing to share before we go into that has we reflect on the goals score card and some of the work well about to share a lot of what we share is categorical the work with the africanamerican students and help to lift up the lessons that are ground in data as you think that impacting the results on that goal score card we are able to work with our broader districts fast to make a realty we see those as demonstration what we can do for the students and in learn mode to make sure were sharing those lessons we can see the ground need for africanamericans.

Thank you for your presentation a couple of folks signed up Public Comment. Virginia marshall, are you sure you want to follow reverend brown. laughter . Thank you mr. President , and mr. Vice president and members of the board and my friends i applaud the team for the great effort they have married before this provision that is here a great book of wisdom the proverbs says where there is no vision the people perish and that vision phrase and the pages in the transmission of bible no discipline the people perish i dont say this in a majority way but a role expression of the fact we are not on the witness stand with socio metrological and the black history if youre not at the table youre on the menu. Now sociology realty must be underscored if you want to do something in the black community the black Faith Community cant be an epitomize but at the center of the table that man that wrote that book the peoples religion that great poster gallop underscores it every sunday morning every holy day 55 percent of black people are in some commune or faith maybe thirty percent of the latino percent 25 percent in Asian Community friends thats a fact and if you want to really impact the said and psyche and turn around this you have to specifically hook up with those black preachers and that black faith communicated that community im talking about process if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Some of us have too much religion were so heavenly minded no earth be good but solid substantive ongoing relationships why because many of the grandmothers and uncles reagan the children and many of them are nfl crack. Addicted babies if you want to get the hearts of people the reverend to the partners you made a good effort a good gesture like getting the parents involved but after 25 aint happening we are 45 hundred black students in the district according to the statistics we also have last but not least to deal with that problem a hundred if you cant grate one hundred parents those are the ones not coming to the school house and their understand the language and culture of school and if we dont lovelyly respectfully get them into the gaze and they understand that we are working to make it a good thing in the educational process for their children we will be like jack and the bear making tracks but getting no where. Good evening i didnt want to follow reverend brown but bear with me president haney and commissioner walton and we have to go home and do their homework superintendant lee and superintendant guerrero. I have a lot for the reverend brown and the members of naacp and ladies and gentlemen, and boy and girl i stand before you and say thank you on behalf of the educators and thank to mr. Dickey it is as though to watch his work and work with you on behalf of our students in sfusd and to know that to me the great measure of success we hire someone that comes through our district that mr. Dickey spent a lot of time and back home to work to know that mr. Irving is one of ours and back to work and to your apac patterns every thursday they are working hard and as mr. Superintendant lee and wanting meaning e haney and commissioner walton said and other commissioners they remember supposed to meet once a week he watch and run back upstairs the custodian is not will happy but the third thursday our room is filed with africanamerican parents and supporters is wonderful this is had been its a 90yearold educator in the School District and for reverend brown to have this named after her shes honored she cant see the work but i want to call attention to the peeking parents this john a new copresident and ms. Teresa richmond so that whos the laid in the green dress and potentially coming to us and others are not here by working hard to get this off the ground and were very happy for part of that team to get this show off the ground i want you to know the superintendents have been supportive of this initiative but as said to the community this is not just the responsibility of the dickey team but the responsibility of all of us to make sure that all africanamericans child leaves us with career and College Ready how do we do that recommendations is that every africanamerican child before they leave third grade theyre able to read at grade level how do we do that by getting voting against guns and if hes working with jim we dont want that ever to occur in our schools how do we do that a sense of belonging wellness on third street the decoration has thanked president obama how do we do that work with our schools with the social Health Initiatives so before i take my seat we want to thank again reverend brown and the members of the naacp for that standing by our sides to always being there to support the africanamerican children and thank you to the team lead by mr. Dickey and this great body and thank linda jordan we have begun to spread out the work she does at the other schools one of the nights of all one and 16 schools have this where linda is working with us to meet program a couple of days ago youre a principal and hes here somewhere but he always opens up his doors to come with our Alliance Programs thank you for being there for us again, thank you, thank you thank you. We want to keep this Program Going and it would be nice that every child with superintendant lee a latino descent that is struggling leaves third grade ready to go to fourth grade and to graduate high school that can be done if we continue this Great Program thank you. clapping. thank you, ms. Marshall and reverend brown and the team for your presentation im sorry to open up to the board im sure there are questions or comments. Ms. Fewer. Yes. Thank you for this presentation and an update on this i think i first want to direct any comments to the academic data that is present to us and at our last presentation that was a less of structural challenges that were listed i dont see that included in this presentation today but i think that is essential to actually reinvite those structural challenges we presented to the board at the last presentation because those are the special challenges we have to change if we want this data to change this data is not pro tem with we can do much better we look at our target and we look at actually how we done on i know i know that if when we look at this it is falls short i think of our start and i think that in order to change this and have the significant change in this data we need to look at the structural challenges that actually recommended last time and i see i think that although i love the effort that is being put into this i feel like more elizabeth i didnt but maybe by this board and our district i think when we dont get to the structural challenges what is this academic achievement it the pathway i think we agree if they dont have academic achievement we cant complete in the 21st century when i look at the increase in the Graduation Rate with the greatest year better i see 31. 7 percent so for clarification are you telling me that 31 plus percent of a class of 2017 graduated with a grade of c or better with the graduation requirement . So someone can definitely correct me so the 31. 7 perris is refers to having an a through g course so the other percent of the students have one d in the course. I think the analyze it probably will give us a better indicator of what weve closed the opportunity gap or were clolths closing the opportunity gape feel like everything around the africanamerican students about achievement so to leave them to have a lifelong career for them to the successful in the 21st century that will be challenging to them but to all the students and especially to the students that may see themselves 2, 3, 4 College Situation not a lapsing population theyll have to have the scott wieners success to compete thats what it is telling me me 70 perce 70 percent am i reading that wrong this is a alarming so this means 70 percent have thought graduating students are not graduating with a c or better and we purposing actively as a board set the standard fairly high but which we firmly believe that the board in this district that students need to be educated at that level in order to be successful from which to launch an educational career and so and be successful at it so of the 31. 7 percent of the class of 2017 how many enrolled if college and have we tracked with their success in colony from that, we, thenfromthat, we, t5t get any information what was how can we our job to truly evaluate after graduation we have the tools actually to craft our students track them how well theyve done in a two year or 4 year to see where the students and how have we prechtd them have we been successful in 31 percent and also mr. Dickey do you know the number i see that is as a percentage but the actual number of 31. 7 percent is. So with the caveat it is put in front of you that number is one and 19. So we looked at the class of 2014 be 24. 6 percent and the number of that the actual students im sorry can you repeat that question. When we look at the class of 2014 and it says 24. 6 percent do we know the actual number of students there. Im sorry ill have to get back with you. I was wondering how many individuals we are and if were thats a great question their success with a requirement with the c or better is about College Entrance about opportunities because we know eligibility is for College Entrance is the standard i would yeah, ill ask how many of those individuals enrolled in college and how did the individuals do and do we have information about how well, we served them and do we do any sort of tracking of them to see maybe that we can then as were doing a lot of different approaches quite frankly could are those approaches actually i understand with what theyll need to be successful in college i think this is how we sort of track ours through the voices of our own students so it is we cant talk about product absenteeism without looking at out of class time teacher referrals because crop be absenteeism is one thing when a student attends school but then it has a large enough of out of class time because of referrals then i think that is something we need to look at so chronic absenteeism is out of class time; right . Now and then instruction time but we have to look at that together as you know, together as a group and then im wondering you know that sense ever belonging which i think is reprofound and very significant it is sadly i also a manifestation of our Africanamerican Community in San Francisco in general and that sense of belonging belonging that is lacking once you leave our school so this is not just something that is happening internally in the School Environment i think that there many africanamerican adults and students that feel a lack of sense of belonging belonging and this is impairment upon us as a society to build a stable economic base for our black community that in turn strengthens our black families and strengthens the foundation for academic success for our students i know some of this is i dont understand our control and some of it within our control i think that if we are working with other partners and City Partners i think this has to be in the forefront because we are not educating africanamerican students in isolation were doing it within the society of San Francisco and so those things were trying to compensate or give me in our bureaucracy is to effects what is happening outside of the continent with the africanamericans that live in San Francisco i want to comment i think on maybe you know those scores are just disappoint. Every time we see those scores theyre very disappointing and im not disappointed in the students at all im disappointed in our system and the efforts weve put in and our system that gives us those disappointing outcomes anyway, i would like to see more focus i think on those structural things and that quite frankly we have been our control some things outside of our district we have no control over but those structural things we have in our district we are absolute control over them we have absolute control over racial isolation we have control over those things i think that those structural things and i forgot what all of them are but if we concentrated often those structural things i think that we quite possibly could see a different Impact Report the next time ill not say it will be easy and quick but i do think we can do better than this and this is a good report card and and think that everything that everybody is doing is great work but unless we attack those structural things which we have control over then we are probably doing a continue to do a disservice for educating our students to the best of our ability and to the best of their ability is thank you and thank you to the team. Is it okay if i responds briefing okay. So i want to make a comment on the structural comment and share that was not covered from the presentation as the initial superintendent Leadership Team the document as well as our series of score cards were the main thing reviewed by the chief of the department and thought about honing in on a focus and supporting the bayview schools we pulled up the concept of our concept to the Human Capital and how are we thinking about promoting students from grade to grade before the mastery and some of the superintendents i wanted to say we can definitely give you a report so to the post secondary pathway we followed this the class of 2017 and have data on some of the students well be getting Clearing House data so ive recorded those we can get that information to you. Thank you, mr. Dickey. Commissioner wynns. Thank you that is a very interesting report from the last time all of the discussions we had are interested in the this concept of building all this structures and support after students individually and as a group for the district and it seems to me that what we are doing is building a Good Foundation that is interesting and important i think for us to be able to ourselves look at it and think about and then also talk to others about that the purposeful thoughtful way were going about what kind of support structures do we need some of them things should occur naturally and for whatever reason a lack of Institutional Support and so consequently trying to build that 0 support is important i feel from at impacts im interested if continuing that i want to Say Something about the followup on some of the things that commissioner fewer said because id like age doesnt have to be now clarity on some of the academics last year, we talked about and few recall i was surprised that we began by working with the partners to have the actions took not just planning to really do things that followup with students after they leave us not just what they do but what we learned from that and where theyre going those in that are actually, you see are eligible i would point out our goal that everyone meets the standard thats not our requirement but this means actually eligible to go to uc. The masters plan for Higher Education adhesives identifies that 10 percent will the system doesnt have the capacity for that and additional i think 15 percent are supposed to be be or work to be accommodated 25 percent higher than that we do understand we use that as a standard to be excessive that is the important thing all the students im hoping to know i want to know how many of our students have gone on to Higher Education in the last year and y where theyve gone as well as eventually know something about how theyre doing id like to know that but i will concur that you know we have and talked about a lot of the actives between ass permissible goals and sustainable goals and the improvements are the kind id like at sometime maybe the next time im presuming all of you are talking about and you know when we look at this and say weve not met all the target do we think those targets are doable and are continuing target on the same rates and have an increasing kind of momentum that we think will get us a bigger increase in subsequent year id like to im presuming and by the way, i appreciate you have a reflection part but hoping the academic achievement well hear about that and we want to ask one other question about the map that shows the distribution of africanamerican students so since the reference here is say key points where they live that that is what this maps shows where they live but not necessarily where they go to school we have a list of schools with the highest concentration i think this can be taken a back how integrated the africanamerican students are in San Francisco look at the concentrations of where people live but im hoping actually kind of assuming even though i think the distribution of city halls reflect it is not quite as segregated as this for one thing schools not in the high concentrations areas by our standards for a large number of africanamerican students that might help us id like to know if you overlay this where they go what that looks like and also how theyre doing in most schools that tells us what kinds of services and where well put the resources to develop overseeing kinds of resources so i really want to thank you for this ongoing work i know it has been a lot of work but also within a lot of youve done a lot and i see ive things that really are the things we know we have wanted to go for a longterm im very grateful and hopefully, youll be able to as we go forward have more in depth analysis of academic achievement puzzle. To the point about the the shared detail i have a secondary packet that will be a starting point for us one of the things well be looking at is or having deeper conversation are the target that are set and exactly what is sustainable Going Forward and keeping in mind i think that we need to push ourselves towards the tellers and not in a given year we have school sites it is important to push to think boohoo to chief that district wide and i think that victor had a comment about where the students go to school. To respond to the location and take into account if you look at the map at top right a filter for school sites and include all the schools were aware how far our africanamerican students are traveling especially to the west side of San Francisco and so through the tab lightwell dabbed or the satellite mapping in terms of trying to take into account how far and where. Dr. Murase. Thank you for this tremendous it is thorough will it takes time to absorb i wanted to give you an invitation to the folks go from the parents Advisory Council im chairing the student ad hoc on student assignments we could really use your input how that assignment helps or hurts different communities this year we are taking a listening year because we are working with an acting superintendent and hiring a permanent superintendant but want to engage the community on where the pinpoints and the right questions to be requesting as we been preps for a year in which well be making specific represents he know your team is on the agenda but expend the invitation to attend that infrastructure. Commissioner mendosamcdonnell thank you for your efforts as someone that has to sit in on our mooefrg on the b f. K. Meeting start the bridge to success years ago and it is again, i want to commend you for working closely is the partnership because part of what were trying to do is not only create better opportunities for young people firstclass their achievement and their assess but also trying to get everybody on the same page to do this together over many, many years we certainly didnt center the infrastructure and the safety net that i think weve been building over the last year year and a half that i think that speaking volumes i dont want to pies that or not notice bus really critical for us to have those places you have communitybased organizations who are actually collaborating with you and are sharing their outcomes for the young people theyre serving weve discovered a lot of things in the meeting; right . Discovered how to so many of our kids are not doing well and many kids have no access so any of the agencies those are agencies located in the neighborhood across the street from many of our kids and not served at all so there is something to be said about to commissioner wynns point the infrastructure that our building in other words, to do the work we want to do Going Forward the data is dishastening to encouraged were going in a different direction seeing little bumps up not meanwhile our target but going in the right direction the only place we didnt go up was to increase the 11 grade back the la proficiency Everything Else a couple of points here and there but in the right direction and that i think that symbolic of what having can happen if we support the people for the africanamerican kids so i wanted to note that because as hard as it is to see those numbers it is encouraging to know that you know your meeting regularly youre talking your collaborating and Building Infrastructure our finding resources, that your finding champions that people that have been very hard on us are starting to see that come together that matters so thank you making all of those pieces happen and wanted to note on page a 7 you have 11 percent living in 94134 Visitacion Valley and sunny side that is sunnyvale on page 8 the student distribution i have a question on the righthand side you have the type of institution and the types of students and elementary high and middle the 72. 3 percent Elementary School and 53 percent of our students in Elementary School are what is the 52. 3 percent or is that all of the whats the 52. That composition out of iuoe all africanamericans 52 are in all thats the percentage out of all and much smaller number in high school and then smaller in Mission High School. Great, thank you. I want to clarify that. I think those are all my questions for now. In particular i want to you know note on my my brothers keeper the idea were not only looking this within our own district bull looking at this regionally and nationally and that has been you know brought up to the top of the list for our president and for many others and think would have learned from shakespeare across you know the region and it is funny because were actually, we oftentimes are looked at as leaders in the work weve been doing and that many other cities and counties and district dont have the fun relationships we have in San Francisco in order to move this work forward take advantage of that and continue to be you know champions for our kids and i think all of us are game for doing whatever we need to do to make that happen. Thank you commissioner walton. Thank you, president haney first thank you to mr. Dickey and the entire team and Emphasis Team i remember when you first got started and gave the presentations by yourself 0 it is important to highlight Effective Team in place and you know we have to walk and chew gum in terms of understanding the relationships we have a hand but not paralyze it is important to choose hope over fear at the end of the day now and then none of us would be up here we want to be mindful i want to say a few things but deputy lee will play xhaevengz but everyone understand that black kids learning their environment is replaced of in terms of that piece it is important and that the cultural is represent as we do this work without that well have a lot of issues thats why i ask the questions of apac and talked about really 2013 having conversations what schools with the best for quiz people think our kids cant learn in their environment it is just them thats a total fallacy the reason we created a lot of things specifically for us there was a period of time in history we cannot be involved too important to have things that belong to black children what do we need to do for them, yes. We know that fist is reflective of more intrusive and better education but we also know their places in this country we demonstrate you can have children that look like me in learning and focus on the work with that said, we know we have major work to do and hitting our goals for achievement and like commissioner wynns alluded to i really love the emphasis on high goals. Make sure that our i think structural strategy have to align with the high goals the cultural we create and again, the academic instructional compose that align with us to put the goals in place their achievable but fee needs to take the investment in the right place some people will is we need to focus on being more diverse and im not unnecessarily in agreement but we need to put the strategies in place to center the high impact and be mindful, and, secondly, surprised from this presentation corresponding were counting Charter Schools in our Graduation Rate . Thats what that looks like to me. Which side are you referring to. Slide 64 thousand students and Charter Schools included. So on slide 8 we gave an overall distribution. Thats 8 im sorry. Thats not map to the Graduation Rate the Graduation Rate is specific to within district schools. We put overseeing Charter Schools here to represent the numbers of where black students are. I remember a piece of why we kept in the data points as we have this conversation about africanamerican families in our schools and you see dips across the grade we consistent the questions why students are choosing the schools thats one of the reasons to lift up the data points number two and three on the list are Charter Schools. And theres a fact that has i look at any role and my colleagues role there has to be something were not doing for the data to move you know very incele ill be interested 2, 3, 4 knowing what you think we can do better if we push harder for resources or the predicament i mean we need to know that in order for this to work well have to develop strategies that push is there has to be something were not doing for this to continue to look like this you dont know i dont care how long or short a time there is something were not doing right for our students and have to take responsibility id like to know more of that if i dont feel comfortable find a group of parents at the dont mind telling us how they feel laughter but to be successful and as we talk about the bayview strategy and the bayview plan i want to remember within as chair of personnel and lash pushing hard on the recruitment whatever were doing as far as the bayview plan so hopefully Human Resources is working with us and most of others ones within the future of the hope sf to make sure there is alignment with the wloif specific to the bayview with those groups because the chief Financial Officer work with the black students and families are working together collaboratively and were on the front end and it will be greater to include a broader strategies in the school stand point within the collaboratives so were doing things that align strategical and then number 7 what i if so and ill push and push and punish on this literacy he specific strategies have we listened to many marshall said and as we talk about why our students are behind they have to be able to reader racial profiling by third grade and have strong some strategies in place to help to play catch up and we have to push hard and still dont see enough grateful strategy ive had that conversation with you, mr. Dickey this is something many concerning again, we have to up play our xhaechlz those strategies are important were talking to our families in apac to help with that, said again, it is great to see a team in place and a vision in place and great to have focus in terms of the outcomes and refine some of those or push us harder to hit an achievement but commend the team because theres been a lot of work done in a short term and Building Infrastructure for secretary we cant down play the analogy with the teachers in the schools and the continued growth in terms of staffing throughout the district that have a focus and again, it it takes time to recultural a system and bureaucracy so it is good to see that we are aligning and people are coming together and coming to the table got to push hard and make sure that stays that way and continue to push and push every year so thank you for the presentation and thank you for youre conditioned work and well be pay your fair share in supporting you and want to note were not doing i dont want to sleep at night i want to be able to be thinking about what i can do with a bigger role if there is something im not doing thank you. It is late i dont want to talk a lot i really appreciate seeing the work and how the team has grown as we last had the presentation it is really important as commissioner mendosamcdonnell said to look at this data and report it out and be honest well not change it if we dont put it out and it is painful to see but again a lot of things happening to try to reverse some of the trends and i really appreciate our beloved ms. Marshall saying this is issues job all the students are everyone students are our students and it is important to remember that and for the board to be very clear about that and all of you are doing great work by not just your work all our work thank you for leading and thank you to the leadership of the district to continue to support and fund this project that one of the most Important Industries i appreciate hearing our update. So i also wont speak for that too long it is late i want to echo the gratitude for you, mr. Dickey and the team i know that going out to school sites and talking with the principals and teachers that students feel theres a different level of prioritization there is more support there is real changes their courses that the district is prioritizing this work in way we havent before and changes that are happening we obviously want to see that reflected in the experiences of our students and what their telling us and our families but also in the actual data we offered this policy and resolution we said well close the racial gap in 6 years and echo with commissioner Vice President walton said were relying on you to tell us how to make that happen a reality so i appreciate everything that we are doing and think a lot of this is tremendous and feels like the right stuff but if you who are living that every day feel this is not going to get us there tells you what is and help to empower us to support you better that is incredibly important and echo the points around ms. Fewer said there is a set of things ill rattle them off quickly i hope can be addressed at some level in the report well be receiving one thing i think i want to hear about is retention and recruitment of educators in our schools with a higher percentage of africanamerican students referred to at some level but address that challenge were looking at all the questions and if we are losing half of the teachers i dont see how well be successful how to prioritize that and get that right where are we being successful who programs, what schools where we see the fwoelz and how we understand to understand to replicate those those are something the board talked about certain things were doing it feels like points we can raise and continue i was interested in the data that you shared a lot of that data seems to be looking at School Trends one of the things i was excited about looking at individual students a lot more and their experiences and theyre connected to and making sure our kids dont fall throat cracks and being able to look at that approach were talking about a multiple group of students that are effected a couple other things you know, we are we tausht Ore Resources the right way i was at a school they didnt have the book to do do literacy and trashth for the africanamerican students so here we are in a reality were thrilled meeting the needs of africanamerican students and dont have the books to support those students overthecounter or; right . Are we members of the commission the day to day realities of trying to support the students on the ground and making sure we think about the broader experience of the families and students in the city housing, poverty, you know how do we call on our City Partners to help to meet the needs of families and be under and cooperate i know some of that that happening but so much is our responsibility but make sure that is happening outside of our schools early Child Education is something i wanted to be here more about and mentioned segregation and the safe and Supportive Schools everywhere weve called out our responsibilities to think and the specific impacts of that were supposed to be much more responsive of the drorlt and want to know how we are drawing what is on the resolution and policy and aligning if it with our work around the africanamerican achievement leadership and directly aligning that work that is quick kind of you know sort of list of things but i do think the foundation you have before you and the work were doing is feels to the board the right steps but we also feel the sense of urgency and building you all and building in the community to if we get this right we have a responsibility to the students and families so thank you i dont know if im not going to ask you to responds to those list of things but receiving a report and id like to see some of the things sort of thought about or addressed that in some ways superintendant guerrero. Just a shout out to the team make sure our board commissioners are aware of last week was the council of Great Schools conference in miami, florida from oakland prenltd and shared our best practices and this work were focused on in San Francisco the presentation was very well received i think many of our other top 50 inner districts shared a lot of positive feedback i know that a lot of people are watching because all of the districts in america are trying to tackle this dilemma and were impressed with the amount of work weve been able to do in a short amount of time. Thank you. clapping. all right. Oh, wow. We have more. Okay so well try to move through that quickly the next item a overview of focus impact on key funding. Superintendents. Commissioners we have some information to share given the lateness of hour we can try to go through that fairly quickly but we did in response to questions over the past few weeks been one of the ballot measures on the local ballots proposition s there is an effect that would take place on existing baselines including set aside with the Public Education british this is the last full Board Meeting two between now and election day we wanted to provide a objective nonpursue scuff discussion of the focus impact acknowledge proposition s with the Public Education Enrichment Fund that is a hard right turn or left turn from the conversation he feel walked being math and numbers and budget stuff based on the heels of that very important conversation this is important in a different way different way so really quickly what you the item before you and for the members of the public that are here we have a handful in the entryway to the board room unfortunately for the Community Members listening or watching not a presentation and follow along with but just to describe we have a mrimemorandums with the proposition s including on baseline and then on the backside are some figures about what the impact will be on each the baselines if i could just take 5 minutes to go through that and commissioners have questions then happy to address them and i will also say i believe this topic will be place on the agenda for the method opportunity to have a deeper discussion as controller as states the main idea for proposition s to take a molt tax and change the allocation of some of the revenues within that source and dedicate to two particular purposes one for families homelessness and the siblings second for art those are the new direction to be fair with respect to the arts that has a short Hotel Revenues that are earmarked for the investment in the past that is less try for a variety of reasons im not the best person to summarize but in terms of the effect on the baselines in the third paragraph sorry any eye sight is going a little bit im sorry the second paragraph so the effect of the money that would be looked at will start at 69 million in 20172018 and grow to estimate one and 5 million in fiscal year 2020, 2021 that would have an effect on existing baseline because that would reduce what is known as aggregate discretionary revenue in laymans terms the amount of each of those baselines is based on the overall size of pie of discretionary revenue for the city just in concept that is an existing Revenue Source some of that becomes not discretionary but it reduces the amount of pie the size of pie in which many of the baselines are based so if you flip to the second side were not going to attempt to go through all the numbers but the highlighted numbers as you can see that the top set of numbers represent projections from the controller a those are subject to change but over the course of 4 years can change how much will be allocated to piece and the other baselines under the status quo. So as you can see in the highlighted area that is Public Education intermittent fund and 20162017 the appropriation is 97 million projected to grow to 99. 8 million and the next fiscal year to one and 2. 9 and so on overseeing are projections for all 3 thirds of which the district as you will know receives 2 3rds if proposition s were to pass then there would be an effect of that reduction or division of discretionary revenue not discretionary revenue so the resulting numbers again those are estimates are on towards the bottom of page that that the appropriation for piece will be lower from the 7 unchanged for that 20162017 and the ballot measure has no effect on 20162017 but in the next years beginning with 20172018 so if you look at the very bottom the various important perceive this is over 2 million in 20172018 growing to 2 1 2 Million Dollars in the following years 2014, 2019 and r69d 2019 and 20 that is in general we wanted to commissioners to be aware of so if there is the ballot measure is successful we want you to not be uninformed about the results of what the effect of this measure and weve been looking for the right time to share the information we were talking about a cow earlier and plans have changed so we didnt want to wait before sharing this information so everyone is aware. So ill leave it at that if there are questions. Commissioner mendosamcdonnell. Thank you so selflooks like should this pass and change it will impact fiscal years 20172018 so it will take effect immediately and if so thats the taggihe case h will it impact the budget mr. Haney planning, and, secondly, two other departments that be impacted by this as well that includes the Childrens Funds and the library and mta and how will their funding impact, impact us so dcyf is the fuchdz theyll get a hit i think to the tune of 6 million or 4 million i cant remember that is significant is that going to be adjusted introduce cbos or money that he allocate to us. Commissioner id like say that well, let me take the dcyf first in terms of dcyf support we receive from the city the most directly form is through what is called the Public Education services baseline as you can see elsewhere on the table not highlighted but to rely that and try to make that has simple and clear as possible under the category of Childrens Services line 3 Public Education services baseline that amount which right now is 9. 2 million projected to grow to 10 plus over the next 3 years thats the bulk of the directly Financial Assistance through the dcyf from the general fund and the Childrens Fund so there will be an effect if you look at the bottom set of numbers instead of of growing but more but subtle two or 300,000 every year whereby the effect and also sometimes receive finlands from dcyf outside of the baseline for proposals or uses and to the extents the dcyf flexibility will be constrained conceptuallyly that will be more difficult to provide Discretionary Support but it is a little speculative regarding the planning circle election day is november 8th in case people forgot and close enough to that tuesday november 8th not the 28 but tuesday november 8th we will be advising the peace cca ms. Fleming is aware the general concept last not gone through those analysis with the cca meeting but were early enough we know that the planning for 20172018 can be informed by the known outcome of the ballot measure by certainly be different. All right. Thank you okay more if you want to know more be there in the Budget Committee item m consent calendar resolution removed for second reading, there is none tonight. And item n vote on the consent calendar what moved and seconded. Ms. Fewer and equip on items k one and k 52 and 53. Thank you dr. Murase ms. Norton mr. Walton ms. Wynns and mr. Haney thank you all right. Item organization vote on consent calendar severed for consideration under item g commissioner mendosamcdonnell. So really quickly it is late i pulled those items that are going to the same vendor thank you who is someone we working closely with but i think there is a process of pulling those and questioning them there has been a history over the last several months of many of the education outside grants being retroactive it is created a question around whether or not how very could are handling those are 44 sites that are getting monies and if i look at all the Funding Sources those are very different so, you know, some schools use their concentration grants and some use ways and formulas and some block grants and some pta we really have to figure out in terms of identifying the Funding Sources early and helping our principals so we can be sure those get brought throw in a reasonable amount of time according to mr. Buck lands the ceo for the education outside he knows who the commitments or who shall be working with i know in may and so i just want to brought to your attention of the board we have the bulk mous and with the time with the afterschool programs we are using one vendor we should be pulling those together to the principals do have to do those individually but this is again perfect example of just from the funds are not there and were engaging Vendors Service without having a contract in place it is just not a good best practices for us i know those are a pain in the ass because weve been pulling those that results in good analysis from our deputy superintendent guerrero that is giving you a full kind of run down of what well be doing next and to the need forever all of our folks to be using an Online Program you know when theyre submitting those there handwritten type of memos that take a tremendous amount of energy and it is ridiculous were not all on the sampling on that so you know unfortunately, it was education outside that we are using as an example but want to thank arrest done for working alcohol with the superintendent and making that workout but got to be carefully with those guys. Commissioner walton. Thank you and just to emphasize a point because i side agree that note the best best practices but at the same time the reason why i dont took the same tune as commissioner mendosamcdonnell on those im highly aware that is an efficiency problem with the district i dont want to blame the vs. S for something the district has not be able to do for how many years i dont know how hard it is to fill out the mou it would be a beginning of the school year or over the summer and eave surrender it and witnessed that working with the cvos i dont want to blame the organizations but something is not right there and we have to do better. All right. Commissioner mendosamcdonnell voting an k43 and 44; is that correct. Thats correct. Thank you ms. Fewer commissioner mendosamcdonnell oar no dr. Murase ms. Norton. Mr. Walton ms. Wynns mr.
