Good evening superintendent and staff. Im sure well hear about the stories later. This evening staff report is just a brief update in the meetings and traingz that have been offered around hysterically practices around the Education Services and supporting the achievement of africanamerican students were we attended the training that was on the restoring enforcement. We participated in to kind of broaden our prospective on how it pertains to engaging parents and also to look at exploring how we can support the work across the district. One of the experiences that stuck out was the exercise of looking at the parental engagement of the process is it token or is it real are participation. What we determined at the end of this exercise it depend upon on the attention whether the parents had a say in the design whether they determined the consent or where they to participate and sign off. And one of the topics that really graded the meeting was the process itself. For a lot of parents showing up its a new experience. Maybe they dont understand the language but depending upon how its structured. So another piece that we participated in was part of participating in the implementation of the design special education and their identifying their straefg goals across the department and the calculation of other parental organizations and Community Leaders to give feedback. Theyre specific goal was creating authentic relationships to address student success. As part of that process the ideas that were generated from the Committee Meeting in march some of those questions are included with dr. And her colleagues. Im going to highlight a couple of those. Some of those that came out of that briefing the parents want the information particle around the information progress. For example, on information sheet on the i p project works it should be included in a package including friendly language. Another input from the pact this those cross packet calculations was the ideas of parents having information of the, i. E. , process so they can understand the challenges and where is their input on the individual listed plan four their child. The pack has been in contact of how the packet can provided encounter participation from parents. The purpose it is to advise on the impact economic we provided we can create a safe environment and how they relate to Educational Opportunities and Family Engagement authentic Family Engagement. The support in continuing that dialog. Thank you thank you any comments. Thank you very much im particle pleased to see the achievement of africanamerican students and i want to bring up a thing that came up actually Vice President asked for data on where our africanamerican students are enrolled and where they are being moved to.

As i read your names line up along the wall right there calling names well my name is willie ratting cliff if anybody dont know me. Anyway well come down to the final local act of what weve been trying to do for over a year. I met with the previously superintendent along with the present superintendent for over a year ago about this problem. That we have. And anytime a discriminatory practice youre supposed to deal with it. Im not satisfied with what i see. And we can always move forward after what you do tonight im hoping that someone o some of the things that others will bring up because i dont have the time. Will bring up thats wrong in here. And one thing about it youre going to set aside money for a group of people that alreayou. Latino democrats i was going over the latest version and echoed the same feeling ill take it a little bit further. Im especially concerned by this little clause here under sanctuary remedies. Despite a concerted effort somehow we got back to faith effort thats a concerted effort. I went to law school i know how to word specify myself. I understand how the argument was we need a little bit of wiggle room. Theres a lot of krarjts how the there who said they cant compete. Heres the nature of business all right. If somebody says they cant do that theres at least 10 to 20 other contractors willing to comply with whatever you come up with. Theyve got families to feed and it just so happens that their black and brown and asian working class white boys from the Richmond District and theyre good phone calls for good faith effort. Yeah. Ive heard this kind of talk. Somehow just by changing good faith effort to a concerted effort youre under the assumes that my people cant understand the english language. Perhaps im stuttering perhaps i have an accent well, im offended. Im again appreciate our effort in trying to make this come together. Today, i just happenstancely looked at what it costs for a twobedroom apartment in San Francisco. 3,500 with a swim pool but on the lower range one through 200 in a San Francisco apartment. Im an electrician who cant afford inform live in a twobedroom apartment here in San Francisco. Its important that my children s are graduates of the unified school district. Its important that we push for opportunities for them to be employed at all levels. Its important that the education their receiving is relevant in the jobs theyll be having its important that this local higher be paved. I worry about it was at a higher rate. I want to make sure that people of color have an opportunity. Im here to advocate for people to not only get on the job site people can go anywhere in the world if they have the skills. But its important that whatever is passed that we insure that that pipeline is not only field but its sustainable good evening my name is robert woods. Im
