Im jamie colby, and today, im visiting townshend, vermont. Classic Norman Rockwell america. Its the kind of place where neighbors can still leave their doors unlocked and where a country lawyer can let clients pay him with food from their farm or dinners at a restaurant or gifts of some kind. In fact, thats how this strange inheritance story begins. My name is paul weber. My father was a lawyer in smalltown vermont, who was always willing to help a client out. And thats how i ended up inheriting a really cool and really old chinese relic and a pretty strange story to tell. Im jamie. I meet paul, a local math teacher, and his wife, sarah, at their home. Come on in. Thank you so much. The residence doubles as a bedandbreakfast the couple have run for almost 30 years. I couldnt help but noticing, as i came in, you have a lot of exotic art. My father was always interested in asian art and he dabbled in painting a little bit. And so thats why we have lots of things around the house. When pa

All right. Trustee randolph. Just a few quick comment that was inspired by the commissioner here. I think you make a very good point about middle schoolers and elementary schoolers. I think the earlier you talk about Certificate Programs and c. T. S and trades, the more excited the students get. I want to point to, for example, long beach and l. A. I think thats why commissioner collins and i are so excited.

I know that African American students are around 7 , so seeing that in comparison, you can see the gap, right . And so it would be helpful, when youre showing how many, you know asian American Students are participating versus how many students are just in the system. Those are ways for us to see where the kind of where the gaps in representation are. And then all of that kind of leads me to ask, do we have set targets . How do you set targets . Like, im seeing increases, but theyre different varying levels of increase, and im wondering, is there a goal that were trying to work towards, and how do you articulate that . Our intention is to match sfusd demograp
