Commissioner lopez. I was wondering about the report and how we can get it available online. That is a very good question. I can provide those and they can be put o on the website. I send it to everybody. That will be fine. I have minor corrections, things i learned about late. I will send a corrected version. I just also wanted to know. I want to make sure has a board we are sharing. There is a lot of stuff going on in the district. We are working on different initiatives, but i want to make sure we are doing a good job of sharing with you to gather input when we are considering new resolutions. Also, if you are interested in topics, i want to make sure we are available. I wonder how we might, you know, sometimes we are working on different streams. I wanted to get thoughts from you on how we might know about your priorities and communicate about things we have priorities to make sure we include opportunities for families. For Public Record i am the coordinator for the pac. We identified the priorities in our meeting minutes. I would be happy to provide a list. I work closely with many of the projects and things happening. One of the best ways is to say, hey, if you are aware of something. We are working on this and i didnt see anything about the pac or are you aware this is going on . One question. I want to make sure i am communicating with all of the pacs. They are the different leadership groups. I would love to be able to just there are times when i want to hear from families, and it would be nice to message out to the coordinators of the drips to say, hey, we want to chime in and you know to reach out. You are not going to know projects brewing before they come before the board. There are certain once that are parent oriented. I would love broader input from parent leaders. I asked if we could put together a list of the point people for the pacs and have an email group so any of us thinking about something with a direct impact on families we can make sure to share it out and say, hey, let them know this is what i am working on. I am open to sharing more or getting more information. That is definitely no problem. I believe we sent the list out earlier this fall. I can resend it to make sure you have the coordinators. Is it possible to have a group . As we add pacs as coordinators change that gets confusing. If there is a way to kind of i dont know. A system to send it to one place or send it to you to make sure it goes to all of those folks. I will look into that any appointments to advisory committees by the board . Thank you all. Good night.

I am doctor walker, pastor of the True Hope Church of christ located in bayview. Also one of the founding members of the corporation where we built over 600 low Income Housing in San Francisco. Along with that we are concerned about various communities especially we are concerned about education. When you look at the latinos, africanamericans and pacific islands, they are not really coming up to the standard of education in the city. This board has put out information about that. Kipp has been the constant in our community. Over 16 years these middle schools have been the center of community support. The school has worked with thousands of students and families on their journey to high school and in our community. One last point because oftime is that the staff said to the envelope, stick with me and we will go places together. If the board of education will stick with kipp. We can all go someplace. The country is divided by the president of this united states. I believe the board has the ability and will do that this afternoon. Thank you very much. [applause] good evening, president cook and fellow commissioners and superintendent. It is great to see you all. I am here. Doctor walker said everything we wanted to say today. The decision that you are about to make today has implications not only for the San Francisco bay region, it has implications for the state of california. Why do i say that . I say that because the governor of california a couple of weeks ago got you together and says lets try to collaborate and find solutions. I have spent decades supporting the San Francisco unified School District. I also yours truly helped to establish a Pilot Program to enhance and to bridge the disparity in education. That program is rolled out in about six or seven schools. I need to come back to get a report on that. We believe in the diversity of education. It is not us versus them. You are problem solvers. When you get off your podium you see us on the streets. Kipp with the bayview area have performed. Now you have confident parents. They are looking at the Bigger Picture offeducation. That is why we appointed you. The superintendent has given his recommendation. Let us respect you and we will continue to work today. God bless you all. applause . Good evening, commissioners. We submitted a letter to you last month. I am joyce armstrong, proud president of the Public HousingTenant Association representing more than 5,000 residents under our jurisdiction.

Lana graduated with a masters in science and biology and aaron graduated from a kipp connection high school. [applause] we just planned that you will consider keeping kipp open because it really worked. Thank you. [applause] good evening. I am a seventh Grade Student at kipp. I am speaking for the students in the audience and cant make it. It is special to me. There are so many reasons. The main one is that teachers really care about making sure everyone in the class learns. That makes me feel like they care about me. The teachers always give us extra help. When a student doesnt help they can go to reteach. A teacher stays after school to teach students what they dont understand. For example equations. Students can go there to redo work. A teacher helped me adding and subtracting. I have learned it and mastered it. Teachers help in learns to prior ties if you know what you need to work. I am thankful for the extra work we do. In conclusion i know my Teachers Want me to succeed. That makes me feel like home. Please vote yes to keep my school open. Thank you. applause . I dont know why i let her go ahead. Good evening.

I am here tonight because many years ago i was privileged to serve on the founds board of Kipp Bayview Academy. I think i have been to every single renewal hearing since kipp opened in 1973. I remember conversations with families in hunter point who asked us to open the school in 2003. They entrusted the education of the children to us. They have checked our performance, rightfully so. They had big treatments for their children and many of those dreams have come true. We know we are not perfect and have a lot to learn. We believe in continuous learning. We are grateful for the partnership of families, community and alumni who have gone on working in the bay area contributing to their own communities. We would not be here without that support. We must do more to strengthen our partnership. We work would to promote our common desire to ensure educational success for all kids in San Francisco. On behalf of our entire community i urge you to renew the charter petitions for kipp bayview and kipp bay. I am the parent of a student at kipp bayview and alumni student in college that went through kipp bayview. When i spoke to my daughter she wanted me to share that what kipp did for her because of the strong work ethic they instill in their students. She thought it was going to be hard. What she found because of what they teach you at kipp, it is easy. I asked her what she struggles with. She is passing with 80 . My son is 12 years old. He came reading third grade level and in a year he caught up to the rest of his class. We need these schools. Thank you. applause . [speaking spanish] good evening board, staff, students, parents.
