SFGTV Government Access Programming July 14, 2024

I am nancy tyler. I cam to talk about the mural. I have to ask a question. Why isnt every School Getting the same amount of money . I mean why are we putting more money in to better neighborhoods . That doesnt seem practical, doesnt seem like it would work right. I am from south florida. They do the same thing in south photograph. South florida. The rich parents give to the school and they get more money. It shouldnt work that way. I am here to talk about the murals. If you see my shirt this is from the Legacy Museum in alabama. It is about the lynching that took plays with africanamericans in the last 100 years. It is very famous now in montgomery alabama. I took my 12yearold black son with his black father and me to see the museum. He is 12 years old. Those murals are nothing compared to what he saw and we talked to him about it. Those murals need signage and to explain why the dead indian is there. He is dead because we killed him, the government killed him. That is why the dead indian is there. George washington is there pointing to the west because they are taking the land away from the indians so we have the indians without land and dead, and we have the black people that we have prospered for 200 years with black labor. That is why we are the richest country in the world is black lanlabor. We have to teach the children and teach them with signage. That concludes Public Comment. Thank you all for coming out. Section d committee appointments. We have a report from the Parent Advisory Council. Good evening. , president cook, commissioners, superbeen dent. I am the chair of the pack. My children attend alamo elementary. Good evening. I am sharon and my child is a sixth grader at ap and this is my first year as a pac member. The role of the Parent Advisory Council is to represent parent voices and perspectives to inform policy decisions and discussions. On wednesday, august 28th the pac held the first meeting. We welcomed the superbeen dent matthews to learn about the Top Priorities of the year and think about the work of the pack and how it connects and supports the strategic goals. Pac members started the process of establishing priorities for the year with a gallery walk. We reviewed pivotal u. S. Supreme court landmark decisions that still Impact Education policies today as well as the Strategic Initiatives and the 20182019 priorities. The actions we took to support those priorities last year. One thing that stood out to pac members was the fact there is no mention of our prek students in the sfusd vision 2025. In particular, new pac members wondered why and thought it would be essential to include prek students to support and the commitment to the prek through third grade approach and alignment to education in our district. Pac members will continue the process of defining priorities for the school year at the next pac meeting wednesday, septembe. Pac members will establish work plans. We will report more about this process next month. The pac plans to host a table at the enrollment fair on saturday october 19 at the oconnell high school. We encourage families to stop by to get involved with our organization. There has been a staffing change at the Parent Advisory Council. After 7 years the coordinator is stepping down. She is leaving to work directly for the district in the office of Family Partnerships and will continue to support Family Engagement in a new and different capacity.

We want to hear about the conversations you were having and what can look like when we collaborate in the future regarding this topic. Good evening. It came up as we were reviewing data and looking at sort of giving ourselves a context for the work for this year. Pac member noticed as we looked at the data prek is not included in that. That is understandable.
