Hello, caller . Yes. Can you hear me . We can. Two minutes. Yes. Hello. My name is meg fause. Ive been a school bus driver. I understand the School District is experiencing a financial crisis. I cant go without Health Insurance in the middle of a pandemic. There are at least one hundred School Districts including la unified who see the value in paying school bus drivers. You cant just stop everything and be ready to go on short notice. If School Resumes in october it will be a short period of time. For me, it will mean a gap in my Health Insurance that i will never get back again. I will be forced to apply for medicare pan b or pay a penalty for the rest of my life. Please dont do this to a diverse Work Community that has served the community for years. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Hello. It says web meeting organizer. Sorry. I couldnt rename myself. Im also a school bus driver. Ive been a driver for the last five years. Yesterday, we were informed that the wages and benefits that are kept on members will not continue until in Person Learning resumes in the next few months. Many School Districts are fully funding their fleet. This cut off will mean a shut down of our yard. Not being ready when full person School Resumes and this concerns us. Even more than that. This will be recalled, it will mean that we will all lose our health care and during a pandemic. The likely loss of coverage and the stress it places on our workers, we understand the district has been on a budget crisis. Millions have been provided to help the situation. If San Francisco will not support the drivers and workers we are asking that at the very least is cover our Health Care Benefits while we wait to return to service like we have done for decades. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Hello caller. 415627. Hello. Good afternoon to president sanchez for commissionersladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. I want to thank the lord with our students having devices and just as important food. When you are a parent its hard to have hungry children in the home. Of course, they cannot learn. As we all know this is the third day in the country, in the world, when president noshe isd African American woman to be nominated for such a position. For the two young ladies who are student delegates and all the students in San Francisco unified School District. Were grateful. Thank you. Hi. Good evening. I want to speak about the districts ride share. The transportation of School District. This company illegally miss classified drivers. Received no benefits, and receive no minimum wage. The labor[indiscernible]. Yesterday, increasing contract exploitation of low income workers and continue to erode jobs in the process. Were concerned about the districtrecent transportation resolution put forward by the board one of the stated goals is innovative. There are many ways to be innovative in solving School Transportation problems including costs, utilizing legally Union Workers is aggressive, not innovative. One further point while the word innovative is repeated and cost savings. The word safety does not appear once in this resolution. Thank you for your time and consideration. Thank you. Hello. It says c ft zoom five. I was unable to change my name. I wanted to speak very much in support of the school bus drivers. Im not going to repeat what the speakers said. They spoke eloquently and to important points as they have over the last year. This is a pandemic. They need their benefits and we need a bus fleet. Workers who are trained and we need a fleet that is ready to go when our students are. Please consider what they have said to you. Thank you. Thank you. Hello, dan. Go ahead. I would like to read something for the board of education. Its from the brown act. The legislative body of a local agency shall not prohibit local criticism programs or services of the agency for acts or admissions of the body. I was provided testimony on what i felt was a violation of my civil rights by the board of education. I was rudely muted and kicked off the zoom call. Talk about a violation of civil rights. The ninth circuit of court ruled in his favor. Theres more. Profane, insane, and inaccidentt speechesyou think theres a budget crisis. Let me warn you. Im that a hole and president sanchez, should i permit the speaker to continue . Ill defer to council. I would caution the speaker that we do not permit profanity and permit him to continue for the duration of his time. I heard that. Youll have one more minute. I am the person that will sue the sfusd in the middle of a pandemic. Youre not dumb. A judge and jury will rule in my favor. The First Amendment is the First Amendment. They paid michael hunt over two hundred thousand dollars in damages for First Amendment violations just like this. I dont want that to happen. Youve been warned. The school bus driverse driverse of the best people ive met. Everyone has a story about how the School District has screwed them over. I cant believei believe youre do tdoing it right now in the me of a pandemic. This is das disgraceful. Hello, paul. This will be my 50th yoa yeaf driving a school bus. This will be the first year ive not had health benefits. Well be laid off without Health Insurance benefits. At the very least this will lead most of us with a gap in coverage.

Most districts are finding it difficultplease consider providing these interim benefit funds. Thank you. Im the president of the local tw 21 protest year at sfu. Ive been listening in and also sympathize with the bus drivers. Theyve been with us for a long time and i thinki really would not like to see their benefits cut off, particularly during this time of pandemic. Becausewere going to see some more spikes.
