I want to thank everyone for coming out and giving comments for the folks with the presentation im going to open it up to my colleagues start with ms. Wynns and commissioner norton. Thank you all for coming and the presentation which was really thorough and informative im proud of us because i have been here long enough to know when the indian project was upcoming up and running and didnt exist at all one we have not yielded as importantly a legal obligation to serve those children we were not accurately doing for years and have most importantly is our philosophy and moral allocation to do that im pleased to see the activities take place and whats going on i want to appreciate that and everything youve told us about thank you very much for all of that and i just want to as an aside say this is a real success in our attempt to actually have a substantive report on rotating basis because the past we have had you know kind of performa short reports and not had a good balance when we are here periodically so you set a high bar for everything to try to meet this is a way to really keep up with things so thank you for that and thank you for the program and good for us were doing this is a better way. Commissioner norton. Thank you. I will of time to echo with what commissioner wynns said its wonderful there is a real difference having Indian Education it has galvanized our community and getting people involved in those this is great to see and a testament and the engagement in our own community thank you for doing the work and coming to tell you about that i have some questions about the conditions of our native american native students is there some data on off track and how High School Students are going with respect to the a there g but in jean what do we see the community i know the numbers the presentation that theres about 200 or so that are selfidentified and about one hundred and 50 that filed out the form id like to know from staff what is the free lynch percentage within that population and what is the number of students that have been identified for example, through special education that science thing i dont know if you have that kind of data or staff that will be important affairs for us to know a Smaller Group they get lumgdz into the other goes up so if you have any insight yourselves about whether that 200 and 16 number actually accurately captures the number of office of complaints or awe latin students in the district or think that is too small a number do you have any insight into that . Good evening board hi Program Coordinator for the united title vii id like to speak to the second part letting you know that kevin and i put this data for your first inquiry in regards to the 227 numbers that are listed not not an accurate number as identified as indianamerican and awe latin it is upward to 4 hundred plus for one great reason San Francisco as a is largest entering tribal inagainst population on the west coast due to u. S. Policy the relocations act of 1942 we see on paper that is not an accurate population number in your city. Thank you given the priorities superintendent in the presentation to understand what are the challenges that this community is experiencing in i city it is quite you you know a larger communities for historical reasons it will be interesting to learn more about that thank you. Commissioner fewer. Thank you for the presentation i also have some questions around the data on page 7. So i think i would like to know that the numbers of that congratulate with graduate with these and also the average gpa students it is important to know it an entrance into college; right . And how many native americans are taking the classes i think that is an interesting also statistic to find out and i really want to thank you for being here i know be what you pointed out to us is something we all know that actually needs to be said it is a culture a foundation of who we are and who we will be and anchors as a people and families i think that is important that we respect everyones cult and glad youre here that was an issue for a couple of years you continue to dialogue with us how we can be better i think identification numbers are it sounded low im wondering what we can do our recommendation around the ap y but to educate parents for them to fill out the forms so the children is a selfidentify; is that correct thank you very much. We really enjoyed this commissioner mendozamcdonnell. My apologies for being late i want to thank you . I think as weve seen the accomplishment of the space and our activities thats been really heartwarming and wonderful to finally see that happen so thank you for all the information you provided i want to remind the young people who you know i dont know if youre the only two graduating going to college im sure this year many more of but scholarships i manage and we do it for all the students of color i want to encourage you and we often is to the teachers of a variety of ethic background whether chinese or filipino teachers we dont have a native American Teacher association for us to tap into so i want to encourage you to send our students that qualify for a grant i think that is beautiful to see you im so glad youre here. Dr. Murase thank you for your presentation tonight i want to acknowledge myong leigh Deputy Superintendant and i remember one of the issues was the lack of permanent space and our having to store things and not have permanent space really a huge setback and so im so happy to know that youre making full use of this space i know that the superintendent and i were at the anniversary celebration and could really celebrate together with the community about this landmark space and i just want to thank you for really shining a light on the diversity that exist in our student body and why it is so important one talked about the dollar confident native American Students i have one question in terms of we need to demonstrate the benefits of being identified so we can have a better accurate count how many students we have in this group i was hoping you can elaborate on two programs weve done moving forward and just briefly give information for the listening and viewing audience. Great the wisdom moving forward culture event took place at the end of the school year in may look more the dates well send is through justin and that is a youth recognize honoring celebration we have our youth take stage and they are each and every individually presented with an award of their parents choosing like best brother, big sister, new traditionally dancer, academically retaining wall strong and a team player to the parents choosing the performance of our youth being recognized onstage is a crucial that might be the only time in the year theyre able to take part in something that is special it is not solely a social gathering not solely an education or recognize Educational Achievement a recognition of a human being doing well in their life we have many parents that participate in putting that on and supported by the Youth Program a community acholic beverage event one you dont want to miss and i believe Deputy Superintendant is speak to that weve offered performance and he was stage front row at the last event laughter again an event that is open not solely to the community but welcome any of i to join us is first hand the people working together act mc presenters because you see here our youth are leading us we are following our youth are leading us we lead by example the Summer Science Program takes place in the month of june following the Academic School ending a program gaertd tarts two weeks k through 12 a different way of learning based on in our culture one of the images youve seen in that power point was an image there was a traditionally salmon smoking workshop for our youth some for the first ever having close contact with a traditionally foods of many of our tribal people we take our students out of the classroom and into the beautiful city that is their classroom like christie fields working with the Traditional Games weve partnered up with the admission rock claimg as a way it connect a theme the theme being when you are climbing up that rock it selfdoesnt matter what rock you chose excuses u choose to put your foot you find it and make it up there at your own pace we tie it into what theyve experienced and the importance of effort. Vice president. Thank you, president haney first of all, thank you all for scouting as commissioner wynns states that is a thorough presentation and appreciate that i definitely want to special especially thank our High School Students and talk about some of the things youre doing and giving us more information about the Indian Education program so a few things i want to touch on and it is great to have a parent talk about her excitement when her students come into the other districts it is refreshing to hear about some of the good things were doing im glad and existed our education works for you and your fame thank you for sharing that last year at this time i believe when you came in and had the presentation there was some glitches in terms of the 506 form within a year time my first year on the school board things changed we recorded some of the positives again and makes me excited about the opportunity that we are providing as a district for the program but also about the work that all of you are doing we appreciate that again and just the last thing i want to say more in line with commissioner president loftus there are more things we can do to get our students on track to graduate and prides the support so aside that i love to explore ideas and visit what is going on and with the district leadership as Board Members to see how we can get those fabulous so our students can graduates and be as successful as you, we appreciate you all coming out one thing im tdr in knowing are the students the program working or participating in other supra curriculum activities. Many of our students mostly our High School Students are involved in extra curriculum activities they sits on different broad and some of them work their busy in addition to staying in their culture and being traditional dancer we are very involved in people. Thank you. I also want to echo appreciation as heard from the board we value this information and has an impact i hope youve seen he remember with commissioner Vice President walton are hearing about the priorities and now have moved on to the victories or to progress so that is really sxooift and evidence of partnership i have together in serving the native american strts students i hope we see more of these issues that are in the Top Priorities move over into things we made progress on one of the things i know that is still on here unfortunately is that we made not of the last year and he hope to see more progress is the representation of italianamerican the curriculum i hope we can work closely together and really looking at your curriculum and analyzing those and making sure that the 0i789 perspectives are recommended the curriculum and as weve heard were not representing indianamericans in a negative way i want to flag that San Francisco superintendent for the Deputy Superintendant and our Curriculum Department to have that many pride about last year and look at it what we accomplished around that in the moving forward were privileged to work you to make that happen the second thing ill flag on the question of when and how were sharing information it seems like one of the ways that you can best work to adequately meets the needs of students have information that immediately and up to date as possible so this question how do we provide information regarding the students on track and moving forward the way eva he partnership were sharing the information as soon as possible to support the students i hope we can see what we are doing there and some of the best opportunities to meet the needs of students are because of communication so that is something we look to in the future and congratulations also to the students and i want to thank you, again, for your presentation tonight and look forward to the invitations to some of the events and continue to working closely together thank you. clapping. and one more thing i want to say thank you to the people in the back that are holding up lets give them a round of applause. clapping. i know youre probably ready to sit down but Small Business tells you what is held up and what were looking at at.

The documentation of board policy 3580 business and nonstructural district records was moved and seconded in 2016 and a report from the rules committee commission. Thank you okay. So this actually, these are this is the beginning or actually were a way towards putting in policy all kinds of things that are compliant with the law which we do we follow the law that we have not yielded had those things memorialized over policy mandate and have big omissions so that is what this is and it was of course give e given a policy recommendation by the rules committee.

Comments from the board . Seeing none, roll call vote. Thank you ms. Chin mr. Totiano ms. Fewer ms. Mendozamcdonnell dr. Murase ms. Norton mr. Walton ms. Wynns mr. Haney 7 is. All right. Last one adoption of balling 93 and recordings its been moved and seconded on january 12, 42015 we need a report from the rules committee again thank you. I wanted to alert you, you should look at hidden in the folder the documents that are paper clipped together behind the updated resolution youll find the amended policy which would not allow the rules committee to get into the agenda the green the change that was we had a discussion about the president to recognize one that the law required r Internal Revenue service that people not have to identify themselves only for the record and second that some topics are not necessarily clear enough to be reflected the minutes people just want to talk about something therefore the rules committee put the amendments youll see here this is just this part will read the minutes shall reflect the names of people that identify themselves and the topics addresses as prototype thats the Committee Recommendation and excuseme. Commissioner wynns does that mean that people must identify themselves only in they identify themselves. Were not going to put their names the minutes unless their choose to identify themselves more the topic it says in the policy that you have before you that their names and tactics will be included the minutes we need to make sure it is clear that they dont have to identify themselves and choose to and second that making it a necessary even though as the topic has tobacco included in some cases is impossible we wanted to amend it what we choose to do and our policy not the other way around and as amended the Committee Recommendation passage commissioner mendozamcdonnell. For the clarification on that when i read this i wonder in so you doesnt have to identify yourselves youll not be not minutes. It says 12 people addressed this topic and the following list names wouldnt necessarily be all of them you cant be the minutes in you dont identify yourselves. You dont necessarily have to identify yourselves to be part of minutes you can have a complete conversation but made points that are worth noting. That will happen the subject were appropriate when the subject it clearly identifiable will be the minutes whether or not the person offers themselves. When i read that that is not clear you know our new board member i think that first place to come up to Public Comment and speak and identify myself and its relevant then. It is viable really the issue. But you say address as well as the tops they addresses as appropriate. Right. So but you have identify themselves and comment as predicament so i think we have say specifically to the topic at hand or Something Like that again, i read this this is can you finish let me finish. Sorry. As i read this it is still feels like theyll not be in the minutes if they dont identify themselves. The topic at hand nothing before the board is at issue only people that come up to talk about anything within the jurisdiction this is general speaking. I think so that but how do we know that. Ms. Casco do you want and at committee we were discussing this i offered a suggestion if they dont tiff themselves the minutes of city hall they say male or female speaker and the topic were allotted to do that. That what about done but not required we say that what were doing 80 is amending smoking gun something everyone will have their names allow the flexibility they dont have to identify themselves more the topic go have to be identifiable. So a sense of potentially that piece of is not clear so we can change them so we look at the committee doesnt recommend we adopted it as before you and printed agenda because so. Theres no urgency for the board to adopt this perhaps clear up the language and the board and bring this back to you. Sounds great, thank you. All right. Board members proposals there are none tonight Public Comment on general matters there is also none tonight oh, we have one something challenged okay all right. Ms. Leading a thank you.
