SFGTV Government Access Programming July 13, 2024

And we get it when we ask for it from other petitioners and so do other districts in the bay area. As far as the enrollment at the school, i will just say this. The number of 85 that i mentioned last night in the Curriculum Committee is 85 in district, ada, and it comes from one purposes prop 39 request for next year. They say they project 85. 46 for this year, and are projecting 102 for next year. Perhaps the difference is enrollment versus ada, but i dont think they would havena low of a percentage of ada to enrollment or maybe it is the total enrollment versus in district enrollment. I can say that is where i got the number from and that came from the prop 39 request. Thank you for addressing that. That was my next question. I also asked but i dont know if you looked it up about the boards rejection of the initial charter five years ago. I did find the minutes of the findings and i did send that to you today. There were two findings. The question was why did the board reject the initial charter . I am looking at it. Do you want me to read it . I have it here. Fact towel finding september 23, 2014 was moved seconded. Anyway the factual finding the Charter School presents unsound Educational Program for the pupils enrolled. One under provisions of lcfs and the petitions are required to state the goals and actions to achieve school wide and by subgroups. The petition lacks specification. It doesnt include use every usf the restorative justice. Those were the findings from 2014. I have a clarifying question. On the recommendation and the recommendation from the committee.

We are just about to complete our second term of Gateway Middle School charter, and we are looking forward to and i say that truly the next few months having the opportunity to talk with you about our program, talk with you about the ways we have grown over the last five years and the ways we hope to continue to grow and do better in the next five years. Most importantly the ways to partner with you. I appreciate all you do on behalf of the city and kids. It is a tough job. Thank you for being here so late. I will see you soon. Thank you. My time is not up. Tomorrow i am going to send an email to all of you inviting you to visit.

There is more. Next page. We will start with those. Are you ready for budget . Go ahead. We are going to follow these up. I spoke with commissioner sanchez. We have talked about the weighted student formula and mtsf multi chaired systems of support how we will go through that process. We feel like it is not just a committee conversation, it is full board to approach that. I will work with staff and also talk with you all about how we can calendar that in full Board Meeting to discuss how to prioritize that process to what you are doing with assignment system. Then additionally we got information that we are experiencing a budget shortfall this year, very serious information. Staff can cover that. Currently with existing revenue, but we will have to be having some serious conversations with staff that is currently in that process. It will obviously involve the board. To be very specific, it is a projected potential shortfall of about 32 million. That is why we have to be very careful about out of that conversation we wanted to make everyone clear with the fact the Budget Committee is not going to be comfortable approving new resolution that include expenditures when we havent looked at how to resource the student formula and other resolutions we have approved and would like to approve. We need to have that conversation first before we talk about adding expenses to our budget. We just wanted to make that clear for everyone. We look forward. If there is anything positive we are having this budget conversation at the same time as we look at funding schools. It is timely and Good Opportunity to look at how we are spending money and how we can support the district to get more revenue as well. Thanks. Commissioner norton . I have a report on committee from december 3rd. I wanted to add to the budget report mr. Collins covered the whole thing. I want to add my perspective in time i have been on the board i have not seen this big of a projected deficit for midyear for the middle of a year. I just want to underscore that we are in a serious situation, and that positive certification resolution we approved tonight says we can expect positive to be in the positive territory for two years if we take action apmake the midyear cuttings and make the adjustmentsness. No one knows better than the superintendent what it is like to be taken over by the state, and we do not want to experience that. That is what i was going to say. Yes, i have that. I was going to recap the whole meeting from december 3rd, and we have three kind of conceptual ideas that are going to move forward to the Community Engagement process so they have varying levels of controlled choice from the most restricted which would be an individual assignment essentially every address would have an Attendance Area School assigned to it and you would receive an offer to that school. Other concepts would be different size zones where you have a small group of schools to choose or larger group of schools with various restrictions and options within those. The purpose of the Community Engagement process over the nest few months is to get in put from the community and begin to model and evaluate how each of those concepts might help the board reach its policy goals for Student Assignment. A lot of work still to be done. There is a aggressive schedule of meetings, and i hope that we can all commit to attend some of those meetings and that we have a board presence at every meeting. It is important for the community to see us there and for us to hear from them. Thanks for your continued engagement with this process. I had staff address some basic information for folks not at the meeting. At the last buildings and grounds meeting we went over the Affordable Housing development policy, and we had a couple of recommended amendments from commissioner cook and from rsu staff. The recommendations were currently we are asking to build 550 affordable homes, and the recommendation was that this wasnt a set goal and that we keep it like there is a process to continue to add to that. We have been working on the back end with don and then also sciu staff requested support Staff Members fall under the union be included in the resolution as well. We have plans in place to meet with them. We also started a dialogue and learning about school bonds and so we are going through a series of those if commissioners are interested in how bonds work, feel free to join the building and grounds meeting. We went through the processes and steps on how to address the needs going on at the school. Commissioner lamb. At the personnel and Labor Committee we had an update and overview around emergency credentials for certified staff. Part was understanding because of a couple of related to Teacher Shortage and general as well as decrease in enrollment of credential programs, some programs we had to initiate internally to combat the Teacher Shortage with our own strategies. We learned about the process around support for emergency teachers, ongoing support for those emergency credentials and really the opportunities how to continue supporting our teacher pipeline programs to put those teachers on those emergency credential. The second agenda item, we had very engaged robust Public Comment and it was related to getting an update on special education and certified paraeducator staffing. We heard loud and clear about what is happening in the field with special education, the need to continue supporting our paraeducators and certificate teachers at the school sites and really uphill challenges. We heard around caseload and workload and the recommendation from community about the importance that, particularly with this agenda item that it be copresented between the special Education Division and with Talent Acquisition and staffing. We are committed to ensuring that happens for those additional teac teacher presents with the program divisions. I think we have a long way to go, and from the recommendation from the committee, i expressed the importance of making sure we have those realtime updates because it is continued to be a consistent issue that we have heard from the field and from our staff at the school sites. [please stand by] mont. That was moved with a positive recommendation. The information items that were presented were also very exciting, and it was regarding a Spanish Language reading instruction curriculum benchmark in as supporting spanish teachers. As a former spanish teacher in the district, it was interesting to see many of the materials provided that we have to create ourselves. And many items that ive seen work well in the classroom. It was piloted at a lot of schools, and they are interested in piloting that and feedback. Last thing was the discussion was around some of the materials in the books that we are using to implement this work and keeping up with the materials.

[ ] i just wanted to say a few words. One is to the parents and to all of the kids. 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. This is the regular meeting of the commission on Community Investment and infrastructure act Successor Agency for the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency for tuesday, december 17th, 2019.
