Balboa high school. One of the things i have been involved in they have all been the same s. R. O. S out of ingleside station at june jordan , at academy soda, i struggled with a young man with a loaded pistol, and then this here at balboa. The other two incidents impacted me, but this issue this year, it was my son. It totally impacted our family. It impacted me, my relationship with the School District, and it impacted the way that a look at things differently. So i ask you to pleas hold people accountable to when things like this happen. We have been fortunate that nobody has been killed. Please be ready for when it does one of the things that i do ask as we do better training for staff, for line staff. I have been in the district 20 years and i have never been trained. The con the people that get trained are the administrators. I administrator trained as last year but now she is leaving. So now we need to keep continuing making sure people are trained correctly. When the incident happened at balboa, they said that there were councilors in Mental Health nobody was sent out for six days i had the emails communicating with the department of health lady at the clinic. They were sure to go on the news and say there was councillors there, but there was no therapy there. I was in the back. We need to do a better job of that. We also need to have a check off list so when this does happen, it ministry theres no what they need to do, and make sure all parties sign off every year that they read and understood the m. O. U. It is not fair that for people to have to deal with kids and not know what is expected of them. So with that, i thank you guys for this and hopefully we will create some change to make our schools safer. Thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, good morning. My name is deirdre. I am a teacher librarian at Malcolm X Academy and also a parent of a junior at Burton High School and who my son frequently gets into altercations and i feel fortunate to say he talks to me quite a bit about his life, and i know that when he does get in altercations with other students , the last person in the world that he would ever want to go to, or have involved is a Police Officer. I know that we all understand what i mean when, you know, when i say we have to consider Police Conduct in our communities, particularly black and brown communities a Public Health issue because too many people are harmed. Our black and brown people, our community members, are harmed. What i want to say is that the Community Needs more opportunity to look at this memorandum of understanding that is being presented today and have opportunities to give feedback. Thank you. Thank you so much. Next speaker. Good morning. My name is annabella. Im an attorney would Legal Services for children. We represent young people in it dependency court, immigration matters, guardianship, and expulsion proceedings which frequently run parallel when there is an incident on campus that requires Police Involvement two things, first, this issue, of course, is incredibly visible right now because of the incident at balboa, but i want to flag that this extends further than that. We had an m. O. U. Pass in 2014, it has been five years now, and we are still trying to figure it out. I want to highlight this is an issue the Community Knows very well and that we should appreciate there has been some involvement there of trying to get that Community Voice into this. I also want to talk about the question about court involved youth and the notification requirements. In particular, i would suggest the involvement of contacting h. S. A. Social workers. Each dependent has a social worker assigned to work with them and has a trusting relationship. In particular, it is great to contact resource families if a young person is any family where there is an adult who is able to respond and we could have young people who only have social workers is a constant in their lives. They also have quote courtappointed attorneys. I would also recommend involving those people as well. I want to highlight the agreements like the m. O. U. Are only as good as they are being honored. Is much as i appreciate the willingness to listen to the community and the willingness to have a complaint process, ultimately, there are no guarantees that a complaint these complaints could result in any changed behavior. On behalf of the young people that we work with, i am requesting more robust measures of accountability in the event of violation of this m. O. U. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. I am tracy. Im here today as a parent and im here to talk about what happened that day at balboa. There are clearly a lot of things that we can learn from, but i also want to point out that there was an incident at june jordan where things were handled so well. Apologies were made, students had community circles, there are some great ways of how to address this. In the balboa incident, it just did not happen. There was no restorative circle with the family. As a matter of fact, when i went back to take the student to school, we were told that we couldnt have a restorative circle, or reentry or the principal and administrator was there. I know from experience of the incident at june jordan had the Community Reaction that we needed. The way we want to see things happen in the community and in the School District. If we are really about restorative practice, i want to say for the record, the harm has not been restored. This happened almost a year ago. There was never an apology by the School District. Although, Board Members and commissioners have apologized, nothing from the School District there was nothing for the students to say, hey, this was not the kid that was portrayed all over the media. Hey, im sorry your kid was looking like he was a criminal all over t. V. There was none of that that happened. We need more training for teachers and other administrators, the police. I agree with a lot of the recommendations, and lastly, the s. R. O. S, like, what are there schedules . Can they work more games in the evenings . We want to be able to have an m. O. U. That works for everyone and we need more Student Input. Theres a captive audience of students, and you only have 100 people give input is really just not acceptable. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Good morning. My name is lydia. Diego is my son. I have several recommendations on this m. O. U. , but i would first like to address the fact that i believe there was a lack of Community Outreach in the sense that having 100 people comment on this issue is a little disturbing to me, being that there are so many schools here and so many parents would love to be able to provide feedback. I also would like to note that the schools where the Community Meetings were located at were not a neighborhoods where more of the kids affected by this m. O. U. Live. So that is an area of concern for me as well. The other thing is, one of my recommendations is i would like for this m. O. U. Or the children s rights to be addressed in some type of assembly to kids at the beginning of the year so that every year, they can be explained their rights, so they know in the event that something happens, what to do, and what their rights are. Second, a big thing for me is i want staff, if there is an event that another traumatic incident happens, that the staff involved are required to take some type of Mental Health training or counciling to help them cope with their feelings about what happened because i can guarantee you that my son was mistreated throughout the rest of the year that he was at balboa and any little action that they felt required discipline was completely taken out of proportion. Any disciplinary action that was taken was not in line with disciplinary policies. I believe that that stemmed from whatever feelings where, you know, still impacting them. Those are two things i would like to see, but i would love to thank each and every one of you for being here and being part of all the conversations that are happening, specifically supervisor safai who has been a tremendous help to our family, supervisor walton, and also supervisor ronen in proceeding with the ordinance. [indiscernible] thank you so much. Next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisors, commissioners, and trustees. Im here today wearing many hats im a grandmother of a child in an sfusd school, i care about what happens at her school. I am a mother of a former student at thurgood marshall, and we have a huge Police Incident which prompted the redo of the m. O. U. That you are now looking at. It has been revised quite a few times since that incident in 2002 and im here today wearing my essay sciu hat for the San Francisco unified San Francisco unified School District. I want to know and appreciate the comments made by some very specific groups. Huckleberry youth, they gave some really good outstanding comments. Advocates, take these comments seriously. If you have forgotten some, go back and review the tapes. The Youth Commission also had great comments and there were many folks also from other groups, patty, here as well from the public defenders office. All of these are so necessary and need to be put into this document. City College Needs to have a joint m. O. U. So we can create a network all across City College Campuses that are mirroring what is happening in our sfusd school sights. They need to be included in this process more robustly. I also appreciate that the department of Police Accountability is here with materials so that one of the things they also want to say is kevin truitt is retiring if i am correct. Who will take over this legacy of work now that he is leaving the School District . I am hoping this person is on board right now so can start transferring that work over. It is deep and it is a lot of history that we will lose when he leaves, you know, nothing against kevin, there were ups and downs around this, but we need to make sure that think hes a much. Any other members of the public who wish to comment on this item please come forward. Seeing then, Public Comment is closed. I just want to think members of the public for their patients today. I know we had a lot of presenters. This hearing was a number of months in the making, so i appreciate your patience. I also appreciate all the different departments that came out with my staff and supervisor walton staff to put this together. Just to respect everybodys time , if we have any followup comments or questions, i just want to keep it about the m. O. U. I think theres a lot of things we could dive into today based on the data, based on the conversations that we are having , i think we learned a lot today. I want to thank specifically the families coming out and sharing their story. I know this has been a tough year for them, but i would like to say i think there is some light at the end of the tunnel. I think there are some really good, positive conversations happening, and i think this m. O. U. Is better because of that incident, because of your engagement, because he didnt walk away, and you insisted on making sure that your voice was heard, and the voice of your son was hurt, and i think we are all going to be better for it. I would just like to summarize a few things that i heard. Having, in terms of the recommendations, first i want to know, maybe from the sfusd and people that are in charge of that, when they are planning on having the m. O. U. Finalized, what other opportunities will there be for the community to be involved in the process of ensuring this m. O. U. Is finalized in a more inclusive way, as much as we can. One of the really strong recommendations is they are all strong recommendations, but having private space for interviews when and if an incident happens. I think thats really, really important. Having the students explained their rights at the beginning of the year in an Assembly Type of environment, i think that is important. Training for administrators, as well as frontline staff. That was kind of the point that i was trying to hit in terms of you have gone through this document, youre talking about training, how does that trickle down to others that are involved it is not just the principles, it is frontline staff as well. That was a good recommendation. I also like to the point that Mental Health, after incidents, is an important aspect of it. Not just for students, but for staff. I think putting a time limit on that, that there will be a requirement of one Mental Health services have to be provided, we often will use the term of 2448 hours, but knowing that that deadline is there, and it has to be met, i think that would be an important piece of putting that into the m. O. U. So that we have something to hold everyone accountable to. The question about the s. R. O. In terms of when they work, and can they work after hours, i leave that up to the board of education and the Police Department to negotiate and negotiate hours of when they work and the Work Schedules i would just say that the board of education and the sfusd and the Police Department can come together on that, it makes sense to me that if you have things after hours and on weekends, like Football Games or sporting events, or whatever they might be that draws people, having presence there, if you look at the statistics again, if that is what the community wants. I dont want to make that assumption, but i heard that today, and and what accountability is built into the m. O. U. If the m. O. U. Is not followed . What consequences are there, if any . Those are a number of things that we heard today along with a whole host of things, but all i would say is there a reason we would want to continue this item to the call of the chairs we want to have a public setting where the board of education, our trustees, and the board supervises come back to see the progress that was made and finalized this and i want to thank the sfusd, as of p. D. , and all the Community Advocates that have been involved in this, and community members, and everyday parents. It sounds like there is a call for more inclusive process to expand the number of people that can have input on this document, and i think that would be important. So we are about to go into our august recess, so maybe we can work with the chair, and maybe sometime in the fall we can reconvene. I would like to ask mr. Truitt to come back up if he can just give us an idea of what the process is Going Forward in terms of what the idea to finalize the m. O. U. , and what other processes will be made based on what you have heard in terms of spending the opportunities for involvement. Sure. Right now the m. O. U. Is being reviewed by sfpd. We have not received their comments yet. Our legal office has taken the first pass through the m. O. U. We got a number of all the comments and feedback that the community gave us, it is probably comprised of well over 300 pages of notes. Everyone received those comments we try to incorporate as many of them as we can, gave that to sfpd. They are going through their legal team and it comes back to us with their comments. Our plan has always been that this would go to our own board of education to review as the superintendents recommendation. The superintendent superintendent would review it. The chief would agree and say yes, this is ready for my signature. We then put it on the agenda at a Board Meeting as a superintendents recommendation to approve the m. O. U. And it was our intention that that would happen at the Board Meeting in the second one in august the beginning of the school year. Okay. My office will summarize those and send them over to you. Im sure you guys there has been a lot of information going on, but we can send you that information. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioner collins . I wanted to thank you for the list of questions. They were my list of questions, i think it is important that there is followup and the big picture is, what i am hearing, is also being specific. Time, who is doing it, time limit. When is it happening, and what we are seeing also is there is an accountability. We are focused on this m. O. U. , but theres also responsibility for the School District in terms of Training Staff or in terms of providing support or coordinating with social services. I would love to work with commissioner cook or president cook and others to also outline a list that has come out of this meeting of actions we need to take as a district in terms of staff, the work we need to do with staff, with the work we need to do with providing emotional support or supporting schools because those have also come out. I also heard one more, which is educating students, how do we do that best, checklists for staff on what they are required to do, and also, i do believe that we deserve the june Jordan Community and specifically the family deserve an apology from the district. I would also like to work on, in order to repair harm, you have to acknowledge consequences. I think in order for that community to move forward and for us to acknowledge what should have happened or what we would like to happen in the future, that is something we have to work on is well. Thank you. Any other trustees or commissioners want to make oh, trusty selby . Thank you. I will be very brief. I want
