I understand. But we heard our support of the School Resolution update which was super which was supported by supervisor haney which showed continued growth and chronic absenteeism, which we want to see minimized, and it also showed suspensions going up at our middle school level, which is problematic and if any of you on either side are willing to also continue to engage with us around those issues, i would greatly welcome it.

For speaker, please first speaker, please. My name is corey. This is my wife, stephanie. We are proud parents of caitlin and skyler wong, they attend Lowell High School lowell and jose ortega elementary school. We have been residents with the parkside district in San Francisco for more than ten years. Last year, 2018, we were doing an earthquake retrofit and other renovations at our house. Because of the dust hazards and temporary interruptions of water and electricity, we temporarily moved to daily city for one month and extended to about seven weeks because of extenuating circumstances. Policy 5111. Ia allows for tempering provisions with no mention of a 14 day notification we never permanently changed our residency. My wife was going through a bitter inheritance battle with her brother. He was the one who fraudulently and vindictively reported as to the School District for residency fraud. He knew exactly when we were going to move to the other house he originally started the residency audit in march of 2018 and we were notified november 2018, and twice we gave them additional information. We provided them with 92 pages of residency documentation over ten years and 142 photos on the construction. We assumed the case was closed. We had not had any correspondence for six months until may 28th, 2019 when it was rejected for insufficient documentation. Fourteen months after the initial audit. The only letter we received was an acceptance letter from for my daughter to go to a middle school. My kids have been dropped from their School Assignments and they do not have a school to attend in the fall. They did not give us the benefit of due process. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. [indiscernible] the superintendent will have someone speak to you. Go ahead. Good evening. My name is joe garcia. Im a manager at sfusd working as a director published publishing indirect distribution since 2002 to 2012. Im here on behalf of my family my friend of 30 years, mr. Cory wong and his family. They are not trying to cheat the system, they are not trying to they are trying to give their 122 daughters in there two daughters into a program of education and they have been wrongfully accused of residency violation. I can swear that they have lived in San Francisco the whole time that there two daughters attended school. Everyone who knows me a remembers me knows i am a man of honor and integrity and im telling you the truth. I have also had emailed the assistant director telling her that i can verify that the family has lived in San Francisco and the girls have attended sfusd schools. The family were in a second home during a construction period. I dont think that should be a fault of theirs. I have known the wong family for about 30 years and as i speak, i dont think they should be falsely accused and have not fraudulently violated school requirements. These two young ladies dont deserve to be were moved from the program for this minor error please support this family and their daughters and allow them to continue to attend their schools. Thank you for your understanding of his current situation. Thank you for your understanding of this current situation. Hello . Hi, i am a mother. As you are all aware, i have included you, i have reached out to you via email about my request, and i have included dry emails around my request. I have not received any response from you all, and at this time, i am requesting that the board policy at the time of my request to be honored and that the new policy that i was modified and ratified after my initial request. Im also asking if any of you are willing to meet with me anytime soon. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. I am the mother of two kids. Im here tonight because i am concerned that my other son will not be allowed to complete his senior year. The School District is questioning our legitimacy in San Francisco. Our Family Dynamics have been complicated over this past year. My husband and i separated. My husband stayed living in south city. We were moved to the city and that is when we transitioned to Lincoln High School. We were not living in San Francisco so i could not and roll him into that district. He has excelled on the honor roll. Lincoln has been a stabilizing force for him, and it was a very rocky family time. During november 2018, the kids and i spent thanks giving week with my husband in south San Francisco. This is during the time that our residency was investigated. Separation was complicated. No matter what is happening with the adults, we have to know we have to be there to support our kids, especially during the holidays. Despite all odds of him being africanamerican and latino, living in a household with separated parents, he has excelled at Lincoln High School. His teachers and the principal have recognized them with the big contribution he has put in at their school. I understand what the investigators concluded that we live in south San Francisco based on their sight visit, but the inclusion his wrong. Even so, i am happy to pay the fee, but my son lives in San Francisco, and i hope you can help ensure that he can return to Lincoln High School school for his senior year. I would also like for him to express himself. I would just like to say that okay. I would like to say that during these hard times, at his been a struggle going to school and one thing i can definitely say for sure is that when i was at my old school, my previous school, i was not happy there and once i transferred to lincoln, that is one i really found my joy. I started meeting new people and that is when i can really say i really changed and i changed into a new person because i started having fun and also i wasnt having a hard time just going to school and just being present, and also learning, because when i was riordan, it was so hard, especially just going through the things i was going through at home and also, my mom said, i am a good student and i have a throughput five g. P. A. For all three years so far in high school and i play football and i think im a good contribution to the school onto the Football Team and that is all i will say. Thank you mr. Morris, the superintendent will have someone speak to you. How are you doing . I am with the new Unity Music Foundation and i know it has been a long start for you all, so i will be as preas brief as possible. It will be on november 18th from 10 00 a. M. Until 2 00 p. M. , and we are planning as a field trip for 12 craters on the focus will be about local africanamerican history. We do come in here to see if we can get the school board and the superintendent support in this event and that the focus of this event is to start and strengthen the dialogue between africanamerican communities in the School District about teaching local africanamerican history. Finally, we are excited but a resolution that is being introduced today. We believe that this is very exciting for us. We feel like this is deathly part it ties into what we are trying to do to teach local africanamerican history. Thank you. [applause] i am also here to support the resolution. I am here to encourage the San Francisco unified School District to have more of a relationship with us as we would like to promote africanamerican history that relates to the city of San Francisco. We actually have already started this course. We did the first ever commemoration in this city last year. We had to the next one coming up on the 18th of november. As well, it means we can partner with the other black history tour, february around the city, and the actual district by itself is africanamerican history. How many people in the financial district is a testament. Giving us our tours, there are monuments around the city that are historical sites for African Americans and i believe this is low hanging fruit for the San Francisco unified School District and it is fun. So our first project we are working on is continuing the commemoration that is coming of november 18th, and we would like you to work with us on that first, and overall, i just think it is some cool stuff that we could do together. Thank you. [applause] my name is steve martinez. I have been a member im here to speak on the matter of our corroboration of jones tech commemoration of jonestown this year. Last year i assisted in the first public commemoration, and prior to this event, i knew of jim jones, but i knew nothing of the connection to the city and the large impact that it has had on the western edition can link communities. The community in which i was born and raised in. Everyone in the city has a history, with some more troubled than others. The city of San Francisco has a duty to preserve and recognize its history and all they are asking for is to have our future at the forefront of this years commemoration. Im confident the resolutions in present that are presented to include San Francisco cultural history in our students curriculum. Thank you. [applause] it has been 30 years since i have addressed this group of people. At one time, i did work for the San Francisco unified School District in Community Relations and integration of schools. I would like to say that i am the president president of an cls, my name is lily, i hopefully thank you would support us with this second event for jonestown. Suddenly so many people his here were affected by this horrendous thing. That is the only thing i can say , to call it a thing. People need to know more about the people who lived in the fillmore, and the people that lived and died that were here, to commemorate the fact that they were part of this community , we need you to stick with us to make sure that this is the part of some of the curriculum in the school here in San Francisco. The children, africanamerican children need to know who they are and where they came from. Thank you. [applause] that concludes Public Comment i am going to move up section g. Number 3, resolution number 195, our healing in our hands, the sfusd resolution creating schools and safe spaces for students, transformation and growth. This is moved and seconded on may 14th, 2019. We had a report from the Curriculum Committee on june 19 th. We will have some commissioners read the resolution into the record. Just as a heads up, i moved this item up because there are a number of young people that came to speak on it. I thank you offer your patients for for waiting to present. Are commissioners ready to go . Resolution number 1951481, in our hands sfusd resolution, rating a school space of student driven healing, authored by commissioners. Were as a National Climate of xena phobic rhetoric delivers, we want to we are decreasing feelings of safety, increasing stress levels, including low income, africanamerican, latin x. , arab, muslim american, and asianpacific islander students. The Chinese Progressive Association surveyed, they found that they were feeling stress from being fully engaged in their education. We also discovered that lgbtq students were 13 times likely as straight students to be bullied for their gender identity and sex. Reports found that 36 of students failed to seek wellness services. It was a concern of with the concern of family and friends finding out their identity. The Strategic Plan and priorities with access and equity to all students, and recognize the need to create multiethnic, multiracial, multi kirsch cultural connections to create environments that support the full potential of all students. Our response to this intervention highlight the importance of intervening, to address social and im emotional needs. Address social and emotional needs. [indiscernible] building upon the valley of Student Voice and skills as leaders and decisionmakers because young people are often the First Responders one fears or friends peers or friends are struggling. Student driven solutions are imperative to address Mental Health needs. Ongoing building of collective responsibility for wellness and healing that further engages students, parents, guardians, and communitybased organizations to support wellness staff to continue centering young people as effective educators, councilors and decisionmakers, and whereas sfusd has made positive strides through the ongoing support of students emotional and social wellbeing in school, and through the support of the safe and Supportive Schools resolution, led by advocates for youth and families that seeks to reduce punitive disciplinary practices in schools, in favor of Restorative Justice approaches to classroom discipline. We believe our recommendations will strengthen and supplement sfusds existing work by centering Student Voice and decisionmaking to effectively lead Mental Health engagement, and whereas Mental Health continue to be a challenge in communities of color, Wellness Centres continue to be underutilized by these groups of students whose Mental Health needs are difficult to detect and to support by educators and wellness staff. Moreover, students do not have sufficient time and opportunities to visit the Wellness Centre due to interference with class time. There are ongoing disciplinary measures used against students such as being sent to the deans office, and whereas the cba survey shows that school Wellness Centres need support to meet the cultural and linguistic needs of Asian American and english language learner students, and families who are not accessing services, as asianamericans continue to feel under referred to Wellness Centres due to the model minority narrative and mentalhealth stigmatization, latin x. And africanamerican students feel they receive higher levels of referrals as a disciplinary measure. Additionally, lack of awareness, outreach, low rates of referrals to services and cultural barriers serve as very barriers for students, especially for asianamericans and students who prime whose primary language is not english. Middle eastern students also reported additional barriers to not using Mental Health services therefore, be it resolved that the San Francisco unified School District board of education will commit to extend the development , procedures, structures, and funding infrastructure to invest in staff, valued value Student Voices, and create Relationship Building spaces for parents, community members, staff and students to support wellness and Mental Health across the district, and further be it resolved that the School District will develop and implement plans, processes and protocols to, number 1, increase funding to
