My name is jamie roberts, speaking on behalf of the San Francisco families union. I would like to speak to the new School Families and staff, as much as to the board. Partly because charter lawn San Francisco gives our board very little oversight, very little control about which Charter Schools we approve. That is evident by them and spoken not to be here. It is a comment on the families and educators to recognize the impact that your expansion will have in our district. We heard tonight, from middle school students, who are facing potential cuts at their school site because theyre losing enrollment. Your expansion to the middle school, especially if you intend to target families of color, and families who are lower income, will directly impact the enrollment of our most impacted public schools. I would also like to remind you that one of the ways that segregation plays out in the United States is by parent selfselection, and the choice was a strategy that was developed by a religious schools , in the south, when they were instructed to integrate. What happened was they created schools that white families could opt into and made it very difficult for families of color to participate in those schools. That is where the choice narrative that Charter Schools like he use now came from. It is a choice to segregate. We see that they are creating a segregated school, which does not serve the same demographics as sfusd schools. Your school will have an impact on our students in our district, and i would respectfully ask that you choose not to expand to middle school. Whether or not the state board of education provides a rubberstamp to your segregation. Thank you. May i hear a motion to secon. Good evening, commissioners. I am a leader fisher, the most previous past chair of the Advisory Committee for special education. As we have commented, multiple times, and provided our policy statements on Charter Schools on multiple occasions. The community Advisory Committee for special education has very grave concerns about schools that select to be part of the el dorado cell up when they are physically located here in San Francisco. It seems to us, a choice to remove parent feedback, parent input, parent oversight from the process, and make it difficult for families to engage in their children receiving services. We are also very concerned about a school that does not provide classes in the whole continuum of support and services that will automatically limit the number of students and types of students can be served at the school. We think it is completely inequitable, and we would also encourage the new school to expand your model, and we would welcome you to consider membership in the San Francisco unified school district. Thank you. Thank you. Can i hear a motion to second this proposal is referred for action at the next board meeting. Proposals for immediate action and suspension of rules. We have resolution 1991081 in support of the september 16, 2019 free our children day of action introduced by commissioners lopez and sanchez. I need a motion and a second. So move. Thank you. May i have a roll call vote on the suspension of rules. Thank you. [roll call] may i hear a motion and section 1991081. So move. Thank you. Lets have commissioners lopez, and Vice President sanchez read the proposal. Resolution 1991081 in support of the september 162019 free our children day of action. John schiumo has found the flames of racism and hatred towards immigrants in general and muslims, whereas the Trump Administration has kept 2300 children from their parents, the usmexico border, whereas he continues to place hundreds of migrant migrants in concentration camps with deplorable conditions which are condemned by the high commissioner for human rights chief and other human rights organizations and whereas the dangerous rise of white supremacist nationalism is using trumps vile devices notice as an ideological base in order to carry out terrorism like the killing of 22 innocent people in el paso, perpetuated by a killer who specifically targeted the latin community, and whereas the summer of 2019 has seen tens of thousands of youth and working people across the nation vigorously protesting raids, terrorism, and demanding an end to White Supremacy and whereas organizations in San Francisco that calls for successful actions on a day without an immigrant in may of 2017 are calling to come out to the streets and to once again and whereas history has shown that direct action in the streets as an effective tool in the Labor Movement therefore be it resolved the San Francisco board of education endorses their free our children day of action on september 16, 2019 to stand in solidarity with central americans, mexicans, refugees and all immigrants. We dont have any public speakers signed up on this comment. Any comments from the board of superintendents . I would like to think commissioners lopez and sanchez for this resolution. I think it is really important to advocate for people protesting against the Trump Administration. As a person who has attended many protests against nancy pelosi and trump, i think it is important that the board is telling people to go out and protest, especially because coming from a school like mission where we have a lot of refugees, i met a lot of people from syria, and yemen who have told me about their stories, about how they do not feel safe having pictures taken of them, because they know the government is looking for them, and hearing peoples stories the immigration stories, also being an immigrant myself, i think it is very important that, you know, we have these types of protests and we know that the board where sfusd is supporting our immigrant students and i think thats very important. Thank you. Any other comments by the board . Seeing then. Roll call vote. [roll call] our student delegates, are you supposed to be here past 9 00 p. M. Think theyre supposed to go. Can we also ask to coauthor the resolution if its not too late . Great. Thank you for your contribution tonight. Good night. Section m, Board Members reports. Were going to get a report from the.

So, commissioner collins who normally chairs curriculum could not make it. The only action item was a new School Petition to renew the charter for the second reading and it was sent by a committee to the full board with no recommendation. Thank you. Do you have updates for budget . I also wanted to say that the new school was presented, we put it forward with no recommendation and also wanted to let the public know that, at that meeting, the Budget Office shared a lot of helpful information about the timeline for the year, and i encourage folks, budgets are important, and i encourage folks to come out to budget meetings. It is the best committee ever. If they go online they can also see what we are going to be covering over the year, so that when we make decisions those things are not surprises. I encourage folks to come out. You can also reach out to me im happy to share with communities how were trying to make things more transparent for families and staff, how we make budget decisions.

Thank you for supporting this program and for trusting us to create a Soccer Program in the bayview. Soccer is the worlds game, and everybody plays, but in the United States, this is a sport that struggles with access for certain communities. I coached basketball in a coached football for years, it is the same thing. It is about motivating kids and keeping them together, and giving them new opportunities. When the kids came out, they had no idea really what the game was. Only one or two of them had played soccer before. We gave the kids very simple lessons every day and made sure that they had fun while they were doing it, and you really could see them evolve into a team over the course of the season. I think this is a great opportunity to be part of the community and be part of programs like this. I get to run around with my other teammates and pass the ball. This is new to me. Ive always played basketball or football. I am adjusting to be a soccer mom. The bayview is like my favorite team. Even though we lose it is still fine. Right on. I have lots of favorite memories, but i think one of them is just watching the kids enjoy themselves. My favorite memory was just having fun and playing. Bayview united will be in soccer camp all summer long. They are going to be at civic centre for two different weeklong sessions with america scores, then they will will have their own soccer camp later in the summer right here, and then they will be back on the pitch next fall. Now we know a little bit more about soccer, we are learning more, and the kids are really enjoying the program. We want to be united in the bayview. That is why this was appropriate this guy is the limit. The kids are already athletic, you know, they just need to learn the game. We have some potential collegebound kids, definitely. Today was the last practice of the season, and the sweetest moment was coming out here while , you know, we were setting up the barbecue and folding their uniforms, and looking out onto the field, and seven or eight of the kids were playing. This year we have first and second grade. We are going to expand to third, forth, and fifth grade next year bring them out and if you have middle school kids, we are starting a team for middle school. You know why . Why . Because we are . Bayview united. Thats right. You. When i first moved here people come to San Francisco to be the person you want to be can be anyone you want. The community is so rich and diverse that im learning every single day San Francisco is an amazing photoy town historically been base on evolution and that applies to every single professional field including philanthropic arts today what i do is photo based art manifests traditional forest and some colonel lodge and other frames of Digital Forest is a meeting that has been changing like super rapid and the quality is not extended by the medium if you took forest in school or you get a job in a newspaper theyll give give you a list of how to create a philanthropic story my goal to break down that model and from a to b that is unique and allows the ability to incorporate different types of i believey about propels someone through the rise and a fall of their own experiences one of the main things im trying to contribute it unconditional narrative form the narrative art of photograph the in between of photos how does a group of photos come together as how to use the space between photos to alight emotional responses from the audience and bring innovation and create bodies of work that narratively function the way that photos do San Francisco as the commission came out and you visited me and one of their prerestricts was to find an art with enough work to fill a large says that a quad down the hallway downstairs and we hung that quad to feel like a train station that constant sensation from all Different Directions some of the major characteristic of the landscape festivities the blur of the train their 70 Miles Per Hour and theyre not perfect as opposed to to what landscape will look like it creates a dichotomy for people insides the train not just the story of the subject it is not just the visual design the composition juxtapositioning, etc. Not just all autobiography boohoo it creates pictures with meaning within them and then some of the portraits feel awkward some of them feel welcoming and the person that mime making the picture is really comfortable and other ones feel awkward and weigh i didnt and tense that sensation is counter to what we feel like makes a successful portrait that sensation makes that work it is hard to be an artist in a city is 100 percent focused an business the cost of living is expensive and to value your success not scribble on financial return creates a conflict between the paramount egos in San Francisco today. You see a lot of artists leaving for that reason because you need space to make work my ultimate goal to make work that firms people firms this gift and just the experience of life and of their worst and of the amazement the wonderment of everything around us shop and dine on the 49 promotes local businesses and challenges residents to do shopping and dining within the 49 square miles of San Francisco by supporting local Services Within neighborhood. We help San Francisco remain unique, successful and vibrant. Where will you shop and dine in the 49 . San francisco owes the charm to the unique character of the neighborhood comer hall district. Each corridor has its own personality. Our neighborhoods are the engine of the city. You are putting money and support back to the community you live in and you are helping Small Businesses grow. It is more environmentally friendly. Shopping local is very important. I have had relationships with my local growers for 30 years. By shopping here and supporting us locally, you are also supporting the growers of the flowers, they are fresh and they have a price point that is not imported. It is really good for everybody. Shopping locally is crucial. Without that support, Small Business cant survive, and if we lose Small Business, that diversity goes away, and, you know, it would be a shame to see that become a thing of the past. It is important to dine and shop locally. It allows us to maintain traditions. It makes the neighborhood. I think San Francisco should shop local as much as they can. The retail marketplace is changes. We are trying to have people on the floor who can talk to you and help you with products you are interested in buying, and help you with exploration to try things you have never had before. The fish business, you think it is a piece of fish and fisherman. There are a lot of people working in the fish business, between wholesalers and fishermen and bait and tackle. At the retail end, we about a lot of people and it is good for everybody. Shopping and dining locally is so important to the community because it brings a tighter fabric to the community and allows the Business Owners to thrive in the community. We see more
