My name is josephine asianamerican voter and Vice President of Chineseamerican Democratic Club and one thing ill ask our folks that gets a chance to speak before we start. speaking foreign language. threequarters have left because of the long meeting and some of them brought Elementary School kids sorry is it took so long but theyre determined to let know what we want to talk about we agree with tonight comments auto people should you be at table we concur with that we feel the School District is not doing a good job in reaching to our community ar issue as well as the math issue the 40 percent of the constituents are ellis actlow i not invite are heard and our voices are not somehow communicated maybe it is our fault but major decisions being a i like the condom didnt have to be decided and maybe having we have should have mandate to the medical care and pregnancy no mandate that stichool has toe the one to do it perhaps work with planned parenthood we dont want to face the prospective of building a School Clinic when do you draw the line giving out condoms is okay. But u d is not and deposition adoption is not right but we want to invite the trucks over once a month and then do more education and that will the evidence will then show the federal funds and save the funds for that the school bonds into algebra one and the process mandat mandatory for everyone so people who can you know pass the algebra one can go on to classes, etc. But people that cant go into negligent grade and continue with algebra one think about the priority between arithmetic and condone our kids to extend more time on math and less time on condoms hopefully, were Work Together thank you very much clapping. hi, im emily grim a third grandfathered or grader and lowell lafayette Elementary School im thinking before lowell but on the subject of condoms i want to say that theyre great why not this is an i think am mat item what caskids can do walk into walgreens but cant happen in middle school is to get good information counseling our School Nurses are recorded are reports and safeguard and ill rather have any daughter ingo da nurse rather than walgreens and my caught the first time she seize a condom i dont see what the problem im a. D. Manual supportive of this moving forward, however, i didnt get a chance to speak the general Public Comment and a lot of people didnt get to talk since were talking about algebra how important we dont go back into the tracking and talk about accountability and some of that isnt brought up the fact that the reason we had huge changes because sfusd has failed so many students for so long and i just want to reminded i mind us that a smart balance test scores boelgd by race not been Good Students are not treated well and this is the elementary the first tracking at elementary at my school you know, we dont have oobltd for africanamerican because we have less than 10 africanamerican students the school of 5 hundred plus students this is less than 10 and over 25 classrooms and then crowni across town they dont dr. Doors can question get doors were talking about priorities thank y clapping. im a tave im a teacher but i want to talk about you know for the parents here this can be a scary toupic to talk about sex i would i want to encourage the parents to have the talks with the kids and encourage the school board to move forward our kids are goido greate great and the householigh schooe not active but make sure they have the dismisses they need to stay save and talking to our kids about sex and condoms does not make that likely to have sex and having docondoms at school it encourages them to be safe thank you. clapping. im dr. Suing phils the director the Disease Control with the district and the s b controller in San Francisco i want to give context that is positive for Public Health in San Francisco the context is that San Francisco has one of the highest rates of st.

Im chow thinning speeding i building all parents has absolutely right to know about their kids and be the guardian as a a supervisor. speaking foreign language. and even for the field trip we have to Something Like that a permission slip. speaking foreign language. and i dont think that providing con dims to the kid is a good resolution. speaking foreign language. and in a way that i think that is a encouragement to for the kids to have sexual activities in early age. speaking foreign language. and at the results it might harm them their Mental Health and their physical health open space. speaking foreign language. and to the bad result in they might end up dropping out of school early. speaking foreign language. and i believe this as demonstrates we should educate our kids in many ways instead of the providing free condoms. speaking foreign language. as school focus the kids should focus on Education Learning knowledge instead of sex call activities. speaking foreign language. the country to be of a country a strong country is based on living the kids education is not bans sexual activities. Thank you clapping. hello, im the Community Health coordinator with a Health Agency were coming up on the 50 anniversary to 50 percent of serving young people the city and county of San Francisco city and county so i wanted to address mostly weve been talking to young people about sex and sexuality we know that delays sexual debut and making condoms available in middle school sends a clear message we are de7elevens the conversation and taking away that little piece of rubber it is not going to do anything and have lax conversation more of a tool to consider clapping. hello my name is a sarah im i lout to speak again yeah, im back i support so many things i wanted to put miff up there i appreciate you allowing me to speak i appreciate the safety issues that the parents are raising tonight and so i feel like it is important that they understand i understand theyre concerned about 10 to 14 years old and thinking about them having sexy want to paternirent have corrected information the School District didnt pay for them theyre provided by the department of Public Health so thats a separate issue as a teacher that spend a lot of time with the high School Students ill try to imagine if we give them out to etch we would have a lot of condom balloons and people hitting each and a lot of people looking impairs with a fight this is about parents that need it i would performing have kids access to condoms than st. Jude so this is getting access to information for safer sex for the present or future i believe that having a nurse or social worker that know the child and family that is a wonderful way to do it it factakes the fear o the apartment so not think about the fact that their child is having sex thank you. clapping. hi i have two kids if middle School Middle schools are too young to ovffer the condom theyll be a hot topic to talk about instead of a theyll try and try and something so it is not appropriate the middle school and also the Kids Middle School under 18 they need our support they rely on us need our support and so we have right to know about it and it lies on us to educate them so we need the transparency of this and so thats why i urge that the School District can spend the budget on the mathematic d math and not on the docondoms t kids are our future the kids need education not the condoms so we urge you spend the budget on the study like the summer programs like on help them to study not knowing condocondom is trying to using condoms the middle school thank you. clapping .

Colleagues. We actually have the time for Public Comment we took all the cards and said i want to say that a lot of kids with having problems with common core thank you. Any comments statements from my colleagues . Ms. Wynns. Thank you i just want to condemn make cleav clear that you know, i think that everybody who look at the data about results of the Health Programs weve had including making available tools to for our students to protect themselves that includes primarily Educational Services but also the availability of actual of the condoms in this case and i opinii guess i want offer to the members of the public and im offering on behalf of the staff and myself if i want to talk to me i would im so interested in us advancing this debate that it should be bans what we know and the xrerpz so i want to thank the staff here and all the Health Services throughout the district and those in Human Services and other places that have participated because i say data ive seen including that on which this recommendation is based has are so important for all the work weve duplicate for so in years because it is so clear what the results wiare so im over the cour im, of course, want to support this and really pleased that all the information that we get weve done well and want to do better and thooeshbd so thank y all commissioner norton. Thank you so i want to thank everyone for coming out and waiting so long i really hear the concern and the love you have for your children that is what is eliminating people coming out and concerned about the policy i think there is no substitute for talking with our child about sex and about being safe it is important to listen to them you know what is going on in their illnelives i try to pre this with pie teenagers i hear things id rather not hear but know how important to have the dialogue and that begins at home no substitute between a parent and inhaled as the superintendent said, you know, students can get conception anywhere with no conversation with no loving adult talking about being safe and taking care of themselves and so this policy really is about you know the huveandful t students that need it state law says that no one needs consent the drug stores dont need consent our friends and folks dont need consent, of course, we want the vast majority of the students to have those decision made in the family but some students that for whatever reason and their situation not a loving family that has conversations with them and we need to protect them and so i know that the policy ive been assured i believe that students particularly middle school only ask about the conception after a very, very frank and open conversation with the skilled educators that help them to understand the situation theyre in and help them understand how to keep themselves save as the superintendant said not a tack away problem hey you want a condom a condom but from a private controlled space with an educator and only after theyve indicated to the educator they are sexually active or considering it so im persuaded by the Public Health data i dont know that policy will hurt any common cold but i hear the apartment i have a almost 3 hour lymph with two leaders if the Chinese Community that really talked about how this policy felt from a parent prospective and what the source of concern was it felt very disrespect to some members of the Chinese Community i really hear that i think that we need to do a much better job superintendant are engaging with our Chinese Community parallel those that dont speak english the parents are crying out they want to better said your decisions and want to be involved in the decisions and have every right to be engaged so my permanent commitment well do a better job with the community and can i think we need to work on that thank you. Commissioner vice presient walton. Thank you first of all, thank all the parents that came out and spoke that is inprotestant we hear from your voi and wholeheartedly agree this should be at home are parents that is where that conversation should definitely took place i agree with all the apartment im a parent this is how i do thata the one thing were responsible for the small percentage of students engaging in sexual actively or might engage there is a mi misconception that students will be walking down the hallway and have access to come bandoms it happens with the nurse that happens with the council only the student offers that theyre thinking about Sexual Activity or engaged we have to understand that the important piece that education that comes with having assess on if someone goes to a professional that is prepared to have a conversation about having a conversation will being safe and avoiding sexual typist ill a say i had children at 16 and 17 had i had an opportunity to get the right education at the right time i might not have had children to young so istudents that are engaging the small percentages that are interested a small percentage of sexual activities have a chance to the red cro protected from st. Jude and protected madam clerk, please read the prosecute early pregnancies and have a chance to learn consequences and how to be responsible if staying save i want to make sure we said some of the information out there is misguided it from miss acceptance and an bad interpretation and providing the wrong prospective this is not about just providing access to condoms this is more about making sure our children are healthy additional save that is our responsibility is u our responsibility is uresponsi thank you parents for staying and sharing your opinions with the sequentichool one this is a surprise to the community was not a gingkos we need to endeavor to make sure that parents voices are heard and that we are communicating effectively with the parents there is a provision the policy that talks about novelist parents and guardian about the existence the program flaun and to making educational materials designed to help parents to communicate with their parents about pregnancy preservation every single prospective and st. Jude so ask the parents to help us what the communication maybe culturally competent ways do it and focus on better communication with the parents secondly, i was alarmed interest seems to be misinformation about this program as my colleagues stated not a give away to condoms of every middle School Student but caring trained adult having a conversation with a middle schooler that is q a condom and finally want to emphasize this is a Public Health issue and that there are coat that tells you that making condoms available actually helps kids defer Sexual Activity at the same time keep them safe from disease thank you. All right. So i also want to thank everyone for waiting and sharing with us tonight are i nodded that was a late meeting and moved outside but you expressed our gratitude were not able to speak we thank you for your patience with us i wanted to because of a lot of the questions and things weve heard and heard leading up to tonight have lead to concerns about both how this program will operate and perhaps what some of the consequences abowill be how students awill react and effect the culture of the middle school i wonder if you might lay out how this in practice we are talking about the misinformation but perhaps specifically because this is the one with Public Meeting were having and talking about the need for more transparency and openness how we communicate if you could explain how this program will operate in practice and why were deciding to step up to the middle school i know were talking about the resear research but not all have that in front of them lay that out and how to address the concerns that were raised around if there were you know certain impacts scoon the culture of the middle school how to follow it and address concerns as they come up and what that process looks like. Thank you president haney just a few recaps in response to our question about what this looks like in practice again want to reiterate that the Program Design and development is based on the data and the discussions with the department of health and centers for Disease Control and prevention and the superintendent carranza nurses and social workers the trained professionals that will be integratisubcontracting with school er so my colleague will speak a little bit about the process well follow at the middle school. I think a good place to start already our School Nurses and workers have a strong relationship so the way it works the student will make an appointment the way he or she are are the School Worker and will discuss did he or she would like access to con dims an assessment by the social worker or nurse to determine the student is entering into this with the right amount of information he or she to move forward also that the relationship is consensual and at this point the condoms can be given to the child the student and i know again, we do encourage discussion with the family about this and we talk about the Roanoke Valley and the benefits of not talk to the student but know close to 75 percent of the middle School Students according to the bs are not talking to their parents about issues of sexual use so we agree what the school. Commissioner fewer. Thank you so i also want to say thank you to all the parents i know that is a late night we apologizes sometime at the board are here after midnight and people have things to say im glad you stayed eave weve heard that and received many emails and as a board member he read them and some them conveyed some misinformation and so im gladly youre here to here the truth and what is happening around this condom distribution so i want to say also that i am also concerned by my children 3 children and i do argue that middle school is too young for them to engage in Sexual Activity it is a serious decision when they decide the young person decided to engage if Sexual Activity middle school is way too young we dont encourage it in that as good idea but good idea for students if necessary decide to engacarte to be mature enough to understand the portions and the consequences of engaging in Sexual Activity having said that, and having vpdz i have three children were once in middle school i would want to know whether or not my children were deciding to engage in sex jail activity what i can concerned yes, but i would be worried out of my mind but want them to the save thats what we all want and thats what were heard here tonight i dont want to tell you that it will tnot be your children but e know that is only 5 percent of our middle School Population do we want to be 10 percent absolutely not but we feel having unprotected sex can possible mean life or death and so were very, very concerned ivy that there is sometimes that our children will not tells you im grateful we have Health Care Professionals they must contact to assess done dumps in middle school and to is were encouraging that is a complete lie all of us here today will not encourage the middleers to engage but we know that is happening so were going to talk about to the children about that the best prevention for the parents to talk to the children the Children Trust you and look to you for guidance as you said at the podium they said that children are our future they absolutely or so im also going to do is going i dont that a planned parents truck a good idea present and better idea for children to get a hocking professional and have a private conversations with that Health Care Professional about the consequences of engaging didnt Sexual Activity so im tovpt say in closing weve monitor this policy we will evaluate the impact and i want you to be assured well bring that back again to the board after weve done a year of testing and prelims but you should be aware that the district are going to oakland one of them and not seen higher rates we were trying to keep our students safe were trying to keep all the children save and this might not mean our child will be part of the program he probably think your child will not be part of projegram but ca deeply about all the students and want to keep at 5 percent of the students they say and sexually active we want to keep them absolutely safe thank you.

Last speaker thinking about it you dont have to its been late its all right but well end Public Comment and thank you, everyone for staying late comments from the board superintendent. Ms. Fewer. Yes. So i had the pleasure of putting in a couple of hours at Theodore Rooseve theodore rl through when they presentedism from the charter conditionthing undergoing changes it was a good move theyve create i think a very, very fine school and, in fact, i was surprised to learn they have premised a dual Language Program with a lot of integrity and thought and outlets stay true to the mission of serving English Learners so it is commendable i went into ahf all the classrooms and spent time with the staff and appeared into the classrooms and saw the students engaged in work and will find everything he saw clapping. it was great. Yeah. It is you know it is a really wonderful piece of property we own but this is put to good use it is excellent i matt han mean a big piece of property there was construction there 4 yrlgz years a a difference student body i think that 100 percent of their teachers are credentialed no turnover with the teachers and retain their students theyre a very low spengs suspension rate k through 8 theyve grown since one and 4 students but feel like theyve got sdrigd and every student are happy and i love the reading rooms and the fact that the principal was also compluk a Reading Group and teaching a class a cohesive staff so im happy to rye this contract commissioner wynns you know what occurs to me we ought to have Public Schools bring our kids in and say their parents this is what we love about our schools because the message that gets accepted on Charter School apartment and members of the board of education honestly most of them not sitting here but crosswalk some stayiaying off, know, i support those Charter Schools because the parents love them and the prelims the pub private schools dont love them thats not the truth but sort of one of the purposes of honestly of the not necessarily i dont mean to apply not the parents but the teachers the politicians and the economists that are behind the privatization of the Public Schools a escape for people so i just wanted to say that i have to say ive said is that before im never good evening to support the schools it, too been so much disadvantage from this school over time im happy this the schools are doing well but it is you know there are rectifies the School Board School distrikkt because that was like i know this board and its wisdom decided to grant the charter 4 years ago but this board i know it was literally blood, sweat, and tears that had the board face up to the onslaught of people from all over the country and the results a charter which 15 years ago, i guess we didnt want made a deal for the state to take in my opinion if the state wanted to still do that i want to say one other thing all to say have a discussion about what we mean and what when we say when we have people say i understand you can say whatever were partners with the School District but that evemeans we g our property we get our students and you know your force you the School District to do certain things required by law whatever we think of so you know, i guess im looking forward for a different terminology we should be i think that is offiurself that the boa will grant the charter i think we should at sometime when we havent done in a long time gnaws bylaw it easier to put that off we should talk about what we believe Charter Schools and what we believe their impact i think that is easy for people to get up and say oh, i know this was a great thing and it is honestly, when people say were part of sfusd i think yeah. Your the enclosed part that Something Else made a decision this is about how many schools and where they should be and privately managed and governed so i this is you know it happens once every 5 years im sorry, i canned not say what i believe and think about this i thank everyone for coming togeth tonight. All right. Roll call vote. Thank you ms. Fewer mr. Haney ms. Mendozamcdonnell dr. Murase ms. Norton mr. Walton no ms. Wynns. No 5 is. All right. Congratulations thank you the following of resolution were there is a motion that has been seconded and were forward to the same committees rules and ad hoc personnel for the recommendation so wait a second if folks time to be leaving the room were continuing with the meeting so i will take each with an individually and the reading by the designee to the first is it board policy personnel drug and alcohol free workplace a Committee Report from rules and from personnel and labor im good ive been able to finder this one of you are on both committees i mean, ill give a short summary of what we were told and the board and the Committee Recommended the board pass all the policies this one is a completely in any policy one that we didnt have before required by federal law one of those areas up to now not go do funds u influences anything else mechanical anything else we need to report. The drug and alcohol free workplace. General council hope. The one thing to add to the commissioners report the committee did suggest and request minor revisions to 3 of the policies whenat i realized those provisions have not yielded made it into the packet and not available for the board or members of the public so when we hit those 3 policies that were recommend for changes ill advise those to move those to the next before meeting and we can remain transparent. No changes to the policy i want to say that so board policy is drug and alcohol free workplace the requested action adopt the board policy for the drug and alcohol free workplace for a safe environmentalist ms. Hoe repeat which ones well not consider. 6 on tonight there be no changes to drug and alcohol free workplace and no changes to the next one that is 4040 no nondiscrimination of employment and there were changes to 4033 the lake shotgun well ask you to rove that to the next meeting there were a wouware changes t Sexual Harassment to the next meeting and no changes to 4040 employees of technology and finally, the last policy for one thousand concepts and rules and organizations no policies a minor change to that well be asking you to move that. To move that to the next meeting a meeting. So well take off tonight. Okay. And just fillmore in 40 to insert u. S. Did you have occasion before office of civil right. Undinto our recommended acn but not the policy. Does that scare you. It didnt appear if the superintendant proposal i intended to highlight it but can powerful that as well. It is just a short clarifying phrase i dont think anyone liv. In which one. 4040. 4040 will stay on but the requested action the last line u. S. Department of justice will be inserted before office of u. S. Department. So commissioner norton a clarifying request. No, i had a request will those policies came to the Personnel Committee we were told theyve been amended and the rules committee and we didnt have the amended version in Personnel Committee that makes it hard for the committee to take them up the first time e. See if we amend the Committee Meeting to get the amended versions but point als the ones we looked at we looked in committee but knowing which had an amendment. We took them up. Im just asking if the resolutions are amended in committee, then they should get the amended version. I take your comments. We can discuss that at the committee and if they decide to move forward because the changes are so minor. I understand the feedback. All right. If i may just make one comment on that, the issue has to do with the scheduling. The Personnel Committee was one or 2 days after we have some of the answers here and some of the answers maybe directed towards staff and not necessarily directed at the school itself. If its something we can explore further in the rules committee, for example, what would be appropriate if we were to impact this further and address the questions that the Board Members have raised here in full. So, i think that if it would need to be discussed in committee, and im not sure rules committee is the appropriate committee. So i would just say if you are asking, i think we are going to have to bring it back and answer to commission nortons concern about Charter Schools establishing their enrollment policies and preference. Their enrollment policies and preferences are established in the charter petition and what we attempted to do here was to make sure the changes they wanted to make were in conformance with code and specifically with the requirement that District Residents take privacy over anything when it comes to establishing extensions and preferences. We are under no obligation to do what they want to do. If they want to modify the petition, we still have to vote on it, right . Yes. I though we did establish preferences for gateway. So im not categorically opposed to that. So im really, its like i think a deal breaker for me. I am inclined to take this to committee because i dont think we are able to address all the issues because we dont have all the data. Unless you want to bring this to a full vote. I dont know if you want to address this
