Because they dont have the space in the classroom. There are a lot of parents that maybe arent ready for that for their kids. There are a lot of families that want their kids to be the first to go to school. We have to give them the space to think about the thinks that might affect them or they feel are wrong. Thats all i have to say. Thank you. [ applause ]. Hi, im a parent in oakland. I wanted to speak to say that given the state law and given whats already in your handbook, no policy changes are needed for you to be a very supportive group to student strikes. Within the handbook it already says it can be a justifiable personal reason. The school board previously read that and said that students have to go with their parents. If parents have to decide to say that my parent is sick, thats not equitable. Not all parents have the same ability to figure that out. I know that there were more privileged students whose parents were able to excuse them. More most students felt that they were intimidated and not able to go. We want the students to be engaged in civic and organized ways. This is one of the biggest movements that can guarantee safety for my children and all people. We want to encourage you all not to change your existing policies, but to communicate those policies that are more fair and equitable, so that everyone has a chance to take that reason and participate in something that has such a big impact on their present and their future, so thank you. [ applause ]. We are calling for climate strikes because Climate Change is one of the biggest issues of our time. How can we dream of a future where we might not have it . How can we know about the Climate Crisis affecting many and not doing anything about it. When all climate educators teach about this, why should we sit in the class and listen to the next lecture, where we can stand up, strike, and speak up. It is our future. Right now the educators hold a lot of power to our future. Educators and administrators, if you care about our future, let us strike. What was the previous speakers name . Hello, my children attend San Francisco community school. Im also here representing mothers out front thats working to ensure a livable planet for future generations. Back in 2017, sf government passed a plan for combanfrernled schools. A few days ago, italy became the first country to mandate Climate Change education. American kids should also be learning about the Climate Crisis and justice. This is an issue that will continue to affect everyone on the climate for our lifetimes. We owe it to our students to prepare them. Omitting it from their education now is doing a great disservice. Parent climate liaisons would be equitable in distributing the information if an equitable manner. Additionally, we would like to see the district policies reflect the crisis by prioritizing zerowaste plan and climatefriendly services. Our next youth climate strike is december 6. We would like to see the district support this by not penalizing students who take part of this engagement. We should be supporting students to understand that collective action and powerful and request drive great change. Thank you. Plurebs [ applause ]. Hi, my name is claudia deeg and i am a Public Health associate at the statewide Interest Group and im working to get lead out of our Drinking Water. This is a toxin that has been linked to many health issues. Recent testing found lead with the Drinking Water at over 50 of our schools. Currently we follow the federal standard allowing 15 parts per billion in the water, however, this level is extremely outdated. In 2016, the American Academy of pediatrics made an official statement that there is no safe level of lead for kids. That is why i want you to adopt a healthbased standard. Many other areas have taken initiative on that issue. Here in San Francisco, more than 20 organizations have signed on to a letter, including the california chapter, the American Academy of pediatrics, the San Francisco families union, and many others. I also want to thank the councilors who have met with me to discuss this issue. I would ask you to protect the kids exposed to lead to adopt the healthbased option adopted my doctors.

They are the different leadership groups.
