Asia this afternoon, or House Speaker nancy pelosi is in taiwan. But as foxes Lauren Blanchard reports, chinas government is not backing down from the threats it has made in recent days. Speaker Nancy Pelosis plane touching down in taiwan, the United States standing by her, saying, there is nothing out of the ordinary about the highly anticipated visit. There is no reason that this visit should escalate tensions in any way whatsoever. Ahead of the stop, the Chinese Government continued to ramp up their warnings, saying it undermines chinas sovereignty and security. We hope us officials will clearly understand the importance and sensitivity of the issue and how dangerous it would be. If the visit actually happens. The chinese claimed taiwan as their own and there are concerns beijing could use the visit as a pretext to ramp up military action in the area. We should send a strong warning. If it doesnt work, we can use forces to take taiwan. The white house maintains its keeping its one c
Education, you know what . We have a contract with tsa to help us with Teacher Retention and, people roll on the floor laughing because that is their biggest weakness. So, we need to, i am going to do it on the condition, not that you necessarily need my vote. But the only way that i will support anything like this in faout thank youer is if we have a comprehensive report about all of the, all of the teacher america impacts on all of the schools in the district, as you know, i have recently, raised the issue about certain schools, where they are and by the way it is not a secret. Because teacher america tells all of the graduates and all of the funders and the public this. What we are doing is getting ourselves into all of the parts of the School Districts. We want to take over this and take over that. And there are schools in our district where there are administrators and teacher of america graduate and they are biased in favor of teacher of america graduate and they go to events whe
Delivered to the sfusd, i just dont think that teach for. And i am ready to support teacher paying for america no matter how much it is, and no matter how small the amount for something that they need to fix. Until they do that, on their own, i just dont want to contribute to them helping us, in this regard. I dont think that they can do it better than we can do it. And i think that we here have the talent to figure out how to help ourselves. And how to help mlk. And im actually pretty frustrated with bringing in outsiders to help this particular school which i believe we can find our own talent to do that work. And if we need to put people focused on it, i would like to see us provide that dedicated talent to that particular site and that leadership team. And if we need more time, on working on that, i think that i would like to see us do that and work towards that. I dont want to give teach for america our money to do what i think that they already need to be working on on their own
Because when i raised that issue before, there was and there were other members of the board who said, yeah that would be good to know. Commissioner murase . I would be interested in the kind of data that she has asked for but i want to remind my colleagues that there was a Committee Meeting last year, twr inaudible presented a lot of very detailed data comparing teach for america teachers performance with nonteach for america teacher performance and the results were similar and you could not say that the teach for america was a Silver Bullet and what was pointed out to us by solomen was that one of the differences was that it provides First Year Teacher training and coaching. And so, what i would like to ask is, given the concerns that are expressed by my colleagues that we have a report, in the same perhaps in the Personnel Committee of this program of mlk and included in the compile of the best practices for successful talent management, i would like to see, what things can we learn
And i think that we here have the talent to figure out how to help ourselves. And how to help mlk. And im actually pretty frustrated with bringing in outsiders to help this particular school which i believe we can find our own talent to do that work. And if we need to put people focused on it, i would like to see us provide that dedicated talent to that particular site and that leadership team. And if we need more time, on working on that, i think that i would like to see us do that and work towards that. I dont want to give teach for america our money to do what i think that they already need to be working on on their own and when they get it together, then i will be more than happy to entertain a package of how they can help us do some recruitment and retention, teacher refencing for a school like mlk. Which i believe is highly specialized needs. And i dont believe that teach for america is that organization, i think that it is sfusd, and i believe that we are that organization. And
