[inaudible] can you hear me . Even though it doesnt even though we hadnt gotten together in more than a month, it feels like all of us are all together all the time. Number of Staff Meetings is up 2x. Number of management meetings is up 2x. We were set up to work remotely. We do that because were on the road quite a bit, and we have nontraditional hours where were conducting meetings after hours, on weekends and evenings. This was a seamless transition for us. Weve had access to digital presentations, software of every kind, from excel to powerpoint, email. Access to our custodian. Its really been a seamless operation. The only disruption is that we havent been able to do travel to meet with external managers, but the number of manager meetings is still up 2x. And i would say that we benefited from good timing. We actually deployed all of the laptops to the investment teams with docking stations to be able to work here as well as remotely three months before the covid emergency, so the timing of having those and getting them deployed was very gratuitous. Greg put forth a great deal of effort in setting us up. Thank you. Any questions for bill . Okay. Jay . Yes . I just want to say that craig and his team and your team really helped from the board angle, too, because it really helped me get connected here. I wanted to do a special recognition, commissioner or president driscoll already has. But theres a team from sfgovtv, sean and mike and jason were very, very helpful. They told us to practice, practice, practice, and we appreciate all of your time for joining us and making sure that regard less of what this meetig might look like in the telecast, it was a successful meeting and weve been able to conduct business. It might look likely that well be doing this for the may 13 meeting, but certainly with this experience under our belt, it will be easier for all of us, but i do want to do a special recognition that theyve all been working very hard. Id like to echo those comments. Thank you. This is a discussion item only. One item i just want to acknowledge, thank you, mr. Huish and miss bordnick, for making sure services were a high priority, so all these significant retirement decisions that have been made as well as whats going to happen in deferred comp, not just what we were talking about earlier. So this is when service steps up and its a testament to all the members. Thank you. This is brian. A quick question. Do you want to say anything about the whole g. F. C. And staff or do you want to save that for another time . We can. We have were a little overdue for the closed session portion of the meeting. We did issue a call to action. Im not sure of how many signatories we ended up getting. However, we did moving on, reach out, and [inaudible] an electric car manufacturer had agreed to shift their production to producing masks. We put them in touch with the governors office, and they have been working with the state of washington under sort of similar circumstances, and had washington pension plan being an investor. And as it turns out, we dont believe theyve been included in the announcement from Governor Newsom related to the manufacture of masks, but we did appreciate it. It was through himalaya. They had identified this manufacturing concern. We also had, from one of our energy partners, paragon, a small donation of p. P. E. , that we sent them to the city website, where they could donate p. P. E. So my apologies. Those are the two instances of managers that we are doing business with in stance to the call to action that the board took. But i want to thank brian for raising this issue and, certainly, the p. P. E. Issue in california and those willing to help out. Yeah. I just want to echo that. Jay, commissioner driscoll, you got behind this early and made this happen. And through this, i dont think its being i dont think were giving staff and you enough credit. Through himalaya, we introduced the state of california to a very large p. P. E. Manufacturer, and the governor recently came out and said that they have required a lot of p. P. E. S, and the reason for that is because of the introduction through staff. And so thank you all to you for stepping forward and making this happen. My understanding is the state of california did not have this relationship, and the p. P. E. They were given access to was at significantly below market rates, so i just want to say thank you. Thank you. With that, we should recess and go to closed session. We need to make a couple of comments, item number 8. Clerk member of the public who are currently in queue who wishes to provide Public Comment on this item, please dial onezero. When it is your turn to speak, the system will prompt you automatically. Those of you who are not in the queue, please follow instructions on the screen. Moderator, do we have any callers . Operator madam clerk, there are no callers on the line. Clerk thank you. Commissioner driscoll . Okay. Theres no comment on this item. We need, then, to get ready to go to item 9, closed session. I believe we need to hang up from this session and accept the invitations for the other meeting. Yes. Im hanging up on the line now. Thank you. The meeting for april 14, 2020 is now called to order. Role call, please. Pair role call . It looks like were missing one board member . Miss collins. Do we know why . Here we are in this Virtual World and i hope the public is able to access this meeting and future meetings. Well do our very best to make sure that that happens. I also want to say that meetings by our advisory groups will get started up again, hopefully soon, as well as Many Committee meetings by the board. But we do have capacity issues at the moment, but we want to make sure at the same time that the public is engaged and that we have a transparent process for all of our decisionmaking processes. Board minutes, section b, of the march 24, 2020, we need a motion and a second. So moved. Why dont we just assign two people to do the motions and the second. Anany objections . Seeing none, role call. role call . Good afternoon, everyone. Its great to see you all. I would like to start tonight with a couple of thoughts and then im going to show a quick video. So first of all, beginning wednesday, april 15, we are opening two additional meal pickup sites.

If you not have yet accepted your School Placement offer, you have until april 17th. Students with on will lose their if parents dont register. You have until april 17th for round two. With that said, yesterday in the family digest, we sent out a video and its described the work that were doing. Its a little bit over five minutes, but i think it gives the entire community the opportunity to see what our priorities are and what were trying to accomplish during this closure of school sites. So with that, im going to add mr. Still stihl, if you would st that video. Were having technical difficulties right now. It looks like your sound is on but its not working. So with that, this video is on our website and it is on if you look at the family digest, it says a video here and it describes our priorities which are to make sure that students continue to learn, as well as we do everything we can to support the needs our families and so, please, please make sure that if you have the opportunity, it gives you a very detailed explains of all were trying to do here in San Francisco unified. One of the things i ask, all panelists, make sure if youre not speaking to turn off your microphones so that the background noises arent there. So with that, president sanchez. I want to try one more time. I think i may have figured it out. Ok, take two. video playing . Schools will be closed through the summer break and during this closure, you have two priorities, you want to support your child and your familys wellness and health and we want to support your child to continue to learn. This video gives you the information about both of those. [ ] while schools are closed, we want to remind you that our teachers, paraeducators tha care about your churn. Children.

As you had the opportunity to see what were trying to do, this is a 250yearold educational system that we are trying to change. Its been a month now and so, we absolutely as a staff recognise that theyre going to be mistakes made along the way, but understand that my hope is that we will assume positive intent and as you saw with our priorities, were trying to make sure that students wellbeing and families are taken care of as well as educate. As we try to move forward, we know that missteps will happen, but please know were doing the best we can. Thank you and i echo those sentiments and thoughts, dr. Matthews. This is going to be a challenge throughout and mistakes will be made, have been made and will continue to be made and we have to give each other a break here. Everybody is trying their hardest and i know you and your team are. Im on those calls every wednesday and friday morning with you and i know the hard work going into keeping the system going and at the same time, recognising that our students and families are many times in crisis right now and that needs to be recognised by everybody in the school system. And with that, were going go to item 3, which is student delegates report. Were happy to have our student delegates list. We missed you. Hi, good afternoon, everyone. It is so good to see all of you. It has been so long and im definitely going to miss teaching with dr. Matthews every other tuesday. Were happy to announce the survey delegate elections is live and will continue to be live until may 8th. The sac has created a video highlighting each candidate so that they can campaign which can be on any virtual platform. We are happy to see the leadership is continuing. Our goal is to continue leadership and engagement. The petition gives students the platforms to advocate for students needs and concerns and it is an amazing opportunity and we urge every High School Student to vote for the next student delegate. We would like to thank mr. Sal and mr. Quan for creating this subway. Survey and good luck to all of the candidates. Good afternoon, everyone. Its good to see everyone is doing well. Our second item is the sac and student outreach. Last night, we heard our representatives who have concerns and questions of their own, as well as peers with the Current Crisis. We created a Google Survey and circulated this to our peers to gather for thoughts and concerns. Afterwards, we conducted a round roundtable discussion. As a council, our goal is to answer these questions and inform students or parents and would like to emphasize that not everyone in the district is on the same page and we should work on communication to relay information more effectively. We would like to thank everyone from staff to teachers and parents who are working so hard to provide resources and support for students in our district during this pandemic. And please stay safe, everyone. Our third item is a lock and liberated resolution update. So yesterday during our sac meeting, we had the second reading of the gun Safety Solution which is entired block and liberated. This would replace blocks with column bincolumbine locks to ads schools. This is to promote safety and action to combat gun violence. We would like to provide mr.

Design baldwin, she actually taught at the kindergarten level at the school for many years and prior to coming to lincoln. And it was really i truly believe that being a Kindergarten Teacher and starting at the kindergarten level, moving all the way up to the High School Level is really what made her so effective with our students. She was a spanish she is a spanish teacher here at lincoln for many years and she had this unique ability to touch the lives of students in their hearts, academically and being a Kindergarten Teacher, i think it gave her the ability to break things down, to make things very, very manageable for our students and i just really want to praise you and thank you from the bottom of my heart, miss baldwin, for all youve given to our students for many years. So when you think about it, for the last 32 years, shes touchdown thousands of students here in San Francisco, both at the elementary and at the High School Level.

First of all, i want to thank everybody who nominated me for this award, those who wrote the letters and i really i mean, its wonderful that you do this and i hope that everybody else feels inspired to recognise the work of teachers in the district. So after hearing superintendent matthews video, i think my speech makes even more sense now. So i want to dedicate this award, and im going to try not to cry, to my fellow teachers who yesterday started on the biggest challenging of their teaching careers. It has been really inspiring for me and for everybody else to see all of the teachers up to occasion. The email threads were into the horizon like i have never seen before. We were trying to figure out how all of this will work and listening to colleagues cry on the phone, endless hours on chats, socia
