It was a natural fit for me to come here. Where is Howard University located . At the Nations Capital in washington, d. C. On georgia avenue. I like to point that out because i think of georgia and florida as the center of the city. You get a little bit of everything on that very corner and i think it represents exactly the cosmopolitan of Howard University right now. How many students are there . About 10,000 students, about 6500 in undergrad and the rest in our graduate programs. What was the original creation of howard based on . You know, there was a charter back on march 2, 1867 which was founded by ten men to put forward and that charter really spoke to giving opportunity to those who otherwise would not have an opportunity. Howard has a hospital on its campus which was known as freedmans hospital and that was back five years before the university. The concept was to allow freed slaves an opportunity to get medical care as they moved from the south to the north but also as the un

We have you get with the chief of staff, and have the middle schools to follow up with you. To whom do i give this . Thank you. Good evening ladies and gentlemen of the board of education. I hope you remember me from last time. Two minutes was not enough. I am back. I would like to address any questions you have concerning nonviolent parenting and what is the obstacle of having these installed in the schools. The problem question is what happens when a child makes a mistake over and over. The response to that question is that you make a new rule until that child continues the behavior. And they compensate their victims, and being punitive. Hopeful

It was very well received. We went to the District Council of merchants, the annual dinner, where they honored the Police Officer of the year for his work in the mission district. We got to go to the abc regional conference that was held, and we really, really appreciate all the help they give us on halloween and especially this year where we did our first alcohol at the breakers, and we participated in the taxi, a limousine, and paratransits conference, and we also talked about taxes on patrol, any program that perhaps we can present to you in the next commission meetings, where were going to have all of those extra eyes and ears out there that drive cabs in the city that are willing to participate in the program, and lastly, last evening, a commander and i presented the civil grand jury on basically the state of the Police Department and to questions from about 20 members of the civil grand jury.

Entire fall semester. Though initial steps have been taken to remedy this situation, i believe that this is an important issue which should be kind of spotlighted right now. So we dont have this same problem next year. The problem is an i. T. Problem. The system was not inputting critical information on the subrequests. Namely the grade level for elementary schools. And dlevel and at times subject area and grade for high schools. This is a real disservice to our schools. To our student and to our substitutes. First graders need a sub who is experienceded with their needs. A spanish world language class needs a sub who is proficient in spanish. Enlish language learners needs a sub who is familiar with strategies. Its important that our students not miss out on a day of learning. We bring this to the school board in hopes are a resolution that is longlasting. I want to thank the district for the corrective action that had has commenced. And thank you to the board for the dedication in se
