Government study about the comfort women issue School Curriculum should be fair and obviously and not politically motivated Human Trafficking is happening now it directed by regional and or province in the current social environmentalist from the educators truly want students so learn the kind of Human Trafficking issue in conjunction with history the history should be based on the truth and there should be meaningful connections to the Current Issue please could not yield to prop enhanced into this dishonor the country it is kaertdz responsibility to teach truth backed by hard facts please does not involve innocent children in political markets in the school in the city of San Francisco and the state of california the students in the freedom city San Francisco thank you. Hi good evening and i strongly oppose to this issue about the comfort women including the textbooks the facts should are taught in history that comfort women issue it highly disputed topic between japan and south korea and some historians deny this comfort women issue it is not Japanese Imperial army for example, the south korean born professor park and so far the university of california, San Francisco concluded those comfort women were well paid this is not sex slaves also as you may know when south korean President Park visited the United States on october 15, 2015, the haitians made a press conference in washington and they said President Parks should apologize for thousands of vietnamese women raised by south korean arm in the world war so those south korean soldiers are lie die hands i want to say no issues like this like die hands or the children of the raised women regarding the comfort women issue for japanese japan so the fact should be taught in history and i dont want to have a bias education for our children and i dont want to have certain propaganda from a certain countries in our childrens education and learning history is to create a Bright Future for this country and the world lets create peace if we want to know the importance of human right this comfort women issue is not suitable if history proved this sorry this comfort women issue is proof indication from certain prop enhanced it would be a shame for us to include this in our textbooks please think about the comfort women issue including in our textbooks thank you very much.

Ready good evening superintendant carranza im unlike a special administer i support as one of the role for the transmission and the staff and students and coming today to talk about a permanent name change for one of the programs currently called community assess and transition often shoulder to cat to the program name of access with me i did bring a few of the transition students to speak on this and supported by their teachers a question if you like for me to read the resolution or some of the main points. Lets do whereas. Whereas so whereas there was a deserve amongst the current assess and contributions to be mower proirpt combrarnd branded and our San Francisco communities whereas our Counter Program name which was often shortened to cat is confusing the students and families and staff and didnt represent the mission whereas feedback has been gathered in district professional Community Meetings and other meetings foyer students and teacher of a cat Program Leads to lengthy explanation and theres a desire a desire been voiced so far a practice brand for the program and sfusd wheres our Transition Programs offer assess to the communities access to work experience, and access to transportation, realization and art and learning and other plans for plans for the future rename and rebranding all the cat programs to assess would better capture the mission and activist the programs whereas as contributions programs move off to High School Campuses to help the adults for the Access Programs will focus on specific neighborhood assess in the mission, access to use of force responding and soma and, etc. That will allow the students to feel theyve officially existed or exited the access logo was created in 2012 as the city classroom vision for the educators the logo is used by the largest offsite Transition Program as the arc and reenvision this is an image for the whole program it this 0 logo was created and can be used freely and whereas the educators the Young Students and stakeholder in our prirgs transition communities are in favor of that that will give the identity for all transition students in stanford and who better to let you know why access is a great flame the students themselves so they can introduce themselves and give you comments what it means to them. Hi im sorry benefiting the four of us are the students of access the arc program a Nutrition Program for people that are 18 to 22 specifically to gain definition our mode is the clamor currently a lot of the programs like ours are called cat programs the name is a good idea people named cat might think were talking about something were a class a school i enjoy being a student and assess it gives me a chance to learn the skills the changing of the name means a lot. Im tony it is awesome but it is helping new people getting work i enjoy being a student at assess and we have fun access is a good name. Thank you. laughter. being called assess makes that easier for transition schools we have will have more assess to the communities being a part of access makes me feel appreciat appreciated. Hello, im jessie is student in the sfusd between 18 and it 2 that are able to assess jobs and job training we assessed traveling and muni we assessed the community and we assessed bring more importance independent the name makes that a lot simple thank you. Thank you. Thank you. clapping. thank you for coming out especially to those commissioners. Commissioner norton. Im really pleased to support in name change im always happy to see the student assess 42 thank you guys for coming out this program when it opened at the arc one of the students testified at the opening that it was so great to actually feel theyre not in high school anymore they were High School Graduates and moved on to a more adult type of program instead of eating in a cafe they didnt have bells to go to class and really made them much more theyre treated as grown ups and i think im so thrilled and happy the name change is extremely important symbolic to show respect thought students theyre about adults not high School Students im pleased to support the resolution. All right. They have the support roll call. Ms. Chin mr. Totiano ms. Fewer ms. Mendozamcdonnell dr. Murase ms. Norton mr. Walton ms. Wynns especially mr. Haney 4 is. Oh, clapping. so the next resolution is in supportive of name change for the art and sciences for the making tier we cant take a vote for the suspension of the rules it takes 5 votes in order to do that so well just going to do introduce the resolution normally can i have a motion and second. Move the resolution. All right. So im going to refer the resolution to the Curriculum Committee and come back here. Board members reports reports from Standing Committee does someone want to step in for mr. Walton for the Curriculum Committee. Who would do that. Ms. Wynns. Ms. Wynns you want to give it a shot. It it would be nice to know but there are 3 items on the agenda i we had a short not in this order first a short update on the School Quality improvements index which is been standing item on the agendas of the committee and so we were able to pretty much know monthly what is happening with the development of the social Emotional Learning component were interested in and also what the interaction with the state and approvals so this is all going well, im sure that is made available a report on all the Summer Learning options plenty ever thing things aligned with the School District which was very impressive that report ms. Casco is that available to every member of the board i combhernd were all feeling like doing a much better job of providing for students opportunities to advance their education in the summer as well as the retailers have activities and things to do and academic focus and the last item was about the map sequence we were presented with 7 options anonymously of not all recommended by the staff but a little bit of testimony but Public Comment ill say from my point of view i thought that the staff is done an strooeldz amount of work im not sure all the members of the committee, of course, cant speak for the members of the board well all be as open to all the recommended options i felt the staff was bend over backwards to provide a lot of option for the parents and students way more than i thought well be capable of offering and interested in the bill people are continuing of all the ideas that people have i do think the good news the staff has done a very, very good job of addressing the concerns raise by parents of the transition to the new mathematics sequence i think ms. Norton do you want to add to that. Thank you. Just winging it. So multiple voices . Exciting when i was chair too report from the committee as a whole very two informational items the first an overview the Stanford University at the partnering we leader about the ways use of force is collaboratively with the university and the efforts are moving forward as our goals as a district the other item the general Holiday International merger of xhaeveng were happy and excited to see the credible forevers of community and schools coming together for the public to know that the two schools merging and will be all part of john oconnor beginning negotiation and just an incredibly successful share of vision and purpose and a lot of positive energy and optimism about the future of john oconnor in our view representative of vision 2025 and its future of Public Education in San Francisco unidentified is happening if youre lucky to attend there were really excited about what is happening at o colonel and only defamates Budget Services ms. Norton.
