Have the ability to make appointments for. Or if you decide to run for Public Office. You know, when i decided to run for supervisor, i wanted to be a good supervisor for the people of the district i represent, where i grew up in. And so that entailed making sure i knew how to do policy and legislation and i understand how the process worked and the city worked. And the good news id been on commissions and other places. So i understood it. But i actually went back to school late in life, before i ran, to get my masters in public administration. And i ended up graduating from u. S. F. With honors, because i was committed to making sure that i was the best policymaker for the people that i represented. And im not suggesting that you do that.

Perspective as a parent to t. K. Alums at alvarado. With as many as 22 4 year olds and one teacher, its critical that teachers have support. From our experience, i absolutely agree with the teachers recommendation. When we began our t. K. Journey, one of my twins, our daughter, was easily writing letters, and while the other, my son, needed significant coaching and encouragement of feeling behind and he could not do it. It would have been impossible to meet the needs of 22 students in that classroom with only one adult. The proposal to staff all t. K. Classrooms with a dedicated paraprofessional for the full year has several benefits. It ensure the t. K. Teachers in meeting this complex range of academic and social needs. Second, providing fulltime resources also fosters equitiable relationships claal classrooms, and finally, the proposal also provides staffing consistency that enables t. K. Teachers to develop relationships with another adult vested in the childrens transition. Thank

Current courses so the idea that to bui to build fidelity for opportunities for Certification Programs and to build our college and pathway too big build a Solid Foundation and moving forward well look at other courses that are available and really a negotiation between cc sf and the office of college of careerness. Do they limit the number. I dont believe so but in the beginning we wanted to start with a small very directive and targeted classes we set up with and just building on the current existing classes in the pathways programs to the school sites. Is there a little limitation on like only juniors and seniors can enroll or allow freshmen and others too. Im going to defer to may i hudson i know they have 16 years and older as part of agreement to enrolled students in the programs doesnt the change in the state law allow us to give credit to younger students. For this agreement it allows tenth and 11 and 12 graders to take other classes thank you. Dr. Murase. One question so the s
