Fluid situation. Remember just recently as i reminded folks at the last press conference, of course, one day we were talking about a phased plan. Then the next day we had to make significant changes. More recently we had a level of confusion between state issued guidelines and local guidelines. I want to be clear that we are definitely working and communicating with the state. I just believe that there was a level of confusion as it relates to what we were doing here locally because of our numbers and because of our Public Health officials. What we try to do is provide you the most uptodate, Accurate Information. It is important that you visit sfgov. Org to find the latest in guidelines. There are certain things that we have repeated over and over again that we are at a point where those are the kinds of things we should automatically do. That includes making sure we wear our masks, social distancing, doing our part because what happens is there are a lot of questions asked of me and s

Process is not going to be used against them. So im wondering if we can do some followup. I know that director arntz and simle will do followup. But i would be happy to be involved in the conversation and see how we can maybe get a few more organizations that have the trust and the relationships with the latin x and africanamerican communities in San Francisco because for different reasons, those are the two communities that are underrepresented in their voting and to not have at least a number of organizations focused on those hardesttoreach communities, i think, is a problem. And so, maybe we can figure this out and this can be some of our followup. That would be great. Well, thank you so much and if theres no other questions, or comments, thank you again for the excellent work and presentations.

Because i agree with the comments of Susan Sullivan that the caste that the educators have in front of them is so monumental. And it is difficult to roll out distance teaching and learning, which is what you are doing, and also at the same time to simultaneously provide for the needs of families to do what needs to be done in households to make that education work and meaningful.
