Committee on the council and i am so proud when we get an opportunity to share what were doing in San Francisco around educating english language learners, what were doing with the work of the pathways but most importantly when i share the work that the bcc does with my colleagues across the country. We tend to be prophets everywhere except our own land but i want you to know there is no other system doing what the bcc is doing and that is testament to the work they have done with us in a transparent manner so thank you for asking the hard questions. I think the bcc made a good point about the data and the data reflected in the pathway reflects the data gap in the School System and im going to be a broken record. The achievement gap, the opportunity gap persists whether its english language arts, whether its math and its especially persists with students with disabilities so wh ....
So there you go. The superintendent said they might pretend they complain about you in private but theyre grateful for the work that you do thank you. We really appreciate the fact that were working more closely and as we did say we are really short and representatives in the bcc. Unfortunately of the five meetings we had we had quorum for three so that really impacts the work that we do so we want to reiterate if you can please make sure to communicate with your representatives. We want a full house and we want to work as fast and hard as we do. [speaking spanish] i also want to thank the commissioners that appointed us to these positions. [speaking spanish] that trust us that were going to work towards having a better bilingual education. [speaking spanish] so thank you. Thank you very much, all of you for listening to this report.

And starting to look more effectively how our pathways are doing. We really are very thankful that data is out there and again its a move forward for the district and the families and the students. We are very interested in how this data is going to be used, and the way that we are going to continue to use this data to improve the pathways, take hard looks at the pathways, where were doing great and where were not doing so great. One of the signs i was particularly interested in how the spanish language, english language students were doing in our pathways. If you could see on that slide you can see how our students, spanish students are doing and in all the different pathways and frankly what were doing as a district is not lifg up to what Research Shows can be the potential for english language learners in these programs and we have to take an honest look at that and i feel confident were up to the challenge. We will look at tha ....
The status quo to pull us away from where we go and for the commissioners we had a preliminary review of the data that was referenced here. We will do a more comprehensive report on the data and we will make sure its clean and we will have a public discussion with what the data says and again thank you. Thank you very much. I wanted to thank you again on behalf of the board and all the Great Questions that you ask so there you go. The superintendent said they might pretend they complain about you in private but theyre grateful for the work that you do thank you. We really appreciate the fact that were working more closely and as we did say we are really short and representatives in the bcc. Unfortunately of the five meetings we had we had quorum for three so that really impacts the work that we do so we want to reiterate if you can please make sure to communicate with your representatives.

Will ask San FranciscoUnified School District to review at the next meeting how the department of justice concerns and deliverables were addressed and action timeline for 2012 and we would love to receive any questions that you have. Yes. Vice mayor fewer. Thank you president norton. Thank you very much for this presentation. A couple of things i would like to address. I think first there has been some movement on this and thank you very much for bringing these items to our attention and actually fixing them with the translation. I cant believe that theyre not translated. It seems like such a no brainer and disappointing to hear that but i am glad its fixed with the remedy. Also concerning some of our translation on our websites and the availability of having certain documents translated. Thank you so much for bringing that to our attention also. I know we did get an ....
