Example. I think thats where i was actually more interested in learning from the superintendent around those Strategic Partnerships and also understood , adding that its not just one person thats really responsible for the superintendent himself and through his calendar, but its really about the impact or kind of the change because of these engagements here. How is it advancing our overall goals and student goals . I yeah, i hear that. And actually for the third one where i feel like that does more represent what you were after. The reason why i say that is because we actually heard in our college and Career Readiness update, remember that we couldnt get an mou with the city because to help increase the number of internships. So thats i think the kind of like so how, how do we work to get both sides want that to happen, right. So how do we Work Together to make that happen . But i hear what youre saying then overall, like its similar to what commissioner motamedi said, like around the impacts on this. Yeah. So you just awakened by reminder of the sfpuc mou, right . Thats been over five years. Thats a Strategic Partnership, but wouldnt necessary be on your calendar or , or, but would be hugely impactful. And Revenue Generating for the district. So i mean, im looking for when i think about Strategic Partnership ships, im either looking for direct benefit to students or cost savings or you know, some sort of, you know, fiscal improvement or operational improvement. That doesnt necessarily have land on your calendar. Its not necessarily a talking thing. Commissioner land commissioner fisher, i have one more comment around guardrail for resource allocation to understand with 4. 2, you know, increase in unrestricted general fund and how that and weve had a lot of discussion about, um, this is around allocation to transparently communicate. And so i think really being able to understand particularly for at the site level like how that educational experience will go. And weve heard actually tonight from our site leaders, right, and families also being and students being able to understand and with that resource allocation, what will that experience and our educators, what will that experience be at the school sites. I have a i need to look at something. So go to the next question. I may have a response to that. I see something. Okay. Ill stretch a little bit. Ill monologue while you look for that, ill be listening to you. I just got well, i just i keep going back to all the iep meetings that ive sat in where our we have amazing case managers who write fantastic goals for their students and then you get in the iep meeting and the educator whos written the goal has one thing in mind and the family and the advocate and the after School Provider has no idea how to interpret that goal. And so, so, uh, shout out to all the great case managers out there who are probably, um, you know, sitting there with their bowl of popcorn, you know, Stephen Curry meme. But Stephen Curry meme. But um, i think where i did i give you enough time yet or should i . Okay okay. Um my focus is unsurprising only on guardrail number one and effective decision making. And in that vein, um, you know, writing the goal intent versus impact, right . Making sure that, um, when we talk, you know, its we say things in here particularly from our underserved populations plural underserved populations is plural. How many, you know and which ones. Right so i think like if, if we hear from one, does that check the box . Do we need to hear from multiple . Do we need an intersection in how and when . I went into, you know, clicked on the implementation rubric and then you go into the tools and resources. I had asked for permission to see the guardrail. One major decision criteria. Its still behind a firewall. So, you know, me as a with an sfusd email address, i cant click on that. So im assuming that the public cant either. Um, so from a transparency standpoint, im hoping that, yeah, we can adjust that. Um, so yeah, just for some of these, i just have for all of these, just wondering a little more specificity there on, on what it would take to actually meet this and how and again, you know the with the whole point being to include parents guardians students and staff impacted by the decisions as weve been talking about here before. Just i guess im trying to figure out what is that threshold. Yeah, thats helpful. And i think this is where, again, it was kind of a balance, but thats the question. I think also as we get to the monitoring, that guardrail will get to bring with some evidence and then have debate. Does it really match h what we were expecting from it . And thank you for indulging me. The thing i was looking at, because if you go back to guardrail for i had noticed you might notice that theres not a period at the end of the second guardrail because i thought we had written something around alignment to our goals and guardrails right. In terms of when identified savings. And thats in a in a previous draft, we had identifying budget balancing solutions that aligned with goals and guardrails. Im going to add that in there. So its clear that that is that was intended to have been in there that its not just haphazardly, its like were doing this and thinking through how thats going to be in Service Still of where were going as a district. We are going to take our final comment from our student delegate or delegates and then well transition to Public Comment. I think there are a few inter there are a few. I think specifically 4. 1 and 5. 3 that arent necessarily inclusive of the larger Student Experience on the ground. 4. 1 its saying specifically classrooms which are fully staffed. And i think its important to have sites that are fully staffed. For example, im currently at a school site where we dont have a dedicated school nurse. Our assistant principal is serving as our school nurse and there are multiple other school sites where they have similar issues and that means that neither job is being done to its full potential and because i see that percentage of classrooms that are fully staffed and i felt that wasnt necessarily representative of what im hearing and seeing at individual school sites. And then i realize its because its classrooms and not the school site itself. Self because there are teachers who are also serving as coaches and there are a lot of people who are doing way too many jobs. So i think its important to expand that one. And then also, if were doing college and Career Readiness, we should also consider that not only the amount of students in internships, but the amount of students working jobs is because working a Part Time Job for some students is the preparation they need for their career or for their college experience. Whether thats saving or that does that paid hourly job is what prepares them for that future thing. And im not sure if that if this definition of internships is fully inclusive of that experience. So id just like to caution against we need specificity, but that cant lead to exclusiveness. Okay. So this is really helpful. And like i said, this is, you know, ultimately im responsible for these just to highlight what i heard, though, is, like i said, i think for guardrail one, its going to be more in how were showing the progress. But also for 1. 3, well kind of consider who were asking for. Guardrail. Wait, let me go back to it for guardrail three. We need a stupendous adjective for guardrail four. Um. I need to adjust 4. 2, and im going to get to what leonardi said. And for guardrail five, maybe think about this idea of like, how are we showing the impact impact and not just the quantity of the engagement. I think what you said at the end is, is what were working through in this process, too, is like and this is what was also i mean, its hard with the interim goals, too, because just because were not measuring it doesnt mean were not doing it. And so, you know, with 4. 3, like you see the improved heating systems, i know if i ask i talked to many students. We could put bathrooms on there. We could put the lunchroom on there. We could put a lot of things on there. Part of this process is to show is to Start Building our collective muscle of being accountable to something. So i hear what youre saying around the like the staff, the fully staffed classrooms and how that doesnt capture your whole experience. But but we chose starting there because we feel like its also where the students spend the most time. And so i say that to say like as these evolve, like for all of this, i think theres going to be these ongoing conversations is then, okay, whats the best measure like . So if we meet heating or if we meet classrooms, what do we do next . Are we just trying to lower heating by 10 more or 90 lower, improve classroom staffing . Or do we move to site staffing and bathrooms . So i think its open for discussion, but thats the thinking behind why some of these are narrow and not fully inclusive. I think with that, what we will do is we will now begin a Public Comment. I think well ask for judson to call the names of the Public Commenters here. And if we could also have the virtual participants informed and asked to raise their hands, im going to ask commissioners and student delegates to go back to their normal seats so were able to fully watch our Public Comment participants. We will start with our inperson Public Comment and shortly go after shortly go into our virtual Public Comment. Please note that each speaker will have one minute to speak if we could please have that repeated in spanish and chinese. Logistics. This is publico la manera de tener un minuto persona. Gracias. Thank you. I dont how i guess get bqe mateo, i believe you can go way one way you can get i thank you. Thank you. Okay, im going to call commenters up. Supriya ray patrick wolf. Jenny moore. Branamour rex ridgeway. Jeff lucas. Merry dodson and chanel blackwell. You can step to the podium of one minute each. Yes. You can step on up and go ahead and get started. Good evening. Press the button. Yeah good evening, everyone. This is supriya ray. I wanted to start out by thanking you all again for taking the time to do this type of monitoring and present data. Its such a shift from what we saw a couple of years ago. I just greatly appreciate the effort being put in by everybody here. Second thing is, in terms of substance, i worry about a couple of things here. One is that even under these interim goals and guardrails, theres a huge number of students who are functionally being left behind. Lets take our school students, for instance, who have a literacy increase, you know, hopefully of 5 from 20 to 25 for third graders by 2024. Thats 75. Even assuming we reach that that arent meeting literacy standards for their grade level, that is incredibly concerning and incredibly disturbing to me along those lines. And related to that, what are we going to do for students who are struggling and suffering now . What actual interventions are going to occur to help kids now . Thank you. Thank you. Do i press okay, great. Well, first, i also really want to thank and appreciate you for the work that youre doing. I mean, we are on a journey here and its a great journey and just keep it up. Thank you so much. A lot to say. Little time. So i just want to uplift a point that president bogus had made. The goals that you have are very aggressive and its unlikely that youre going to hit them. I hope you blow right through them. Right. But its unlikely that youre going to hit them and so i think its important to be realistic in your communication outwards and if we become a district that follows the data is relentlessly student focused, has a culture of Continuous Improvement on and on and on. And yes, commissioner motamedi is correct. We should have a dashboard of attendance or chronic absenteeism right now. So if we do all those things, well be making tremendous progress. Lets not let that be lost. Thanks very much. Hi, im jenny moore. Im a mom from academy high school. I have a junior and a senior whos with me today. My beautiful daughter, brianna. Im here again to once again plead with you to please not close our school and please commit to no school closures. Um, we were visited by the assistant superintendent, davina at our back to school night, and we did talk about a redesign plan. But one thing i couldnt get from her was a commitment to not close our school next year. So im really just here to continue to plead that case as theres a lot of wonderful things about our school that im going to let my daughter tell you guys about because shes much shes much better to speak at it than i am since shes living it. She is part of the special ed program. So please be patient with her while she speaks. But im going to turn over the rest of my time and all of her time to her. Thank you. Hi my name is brenda moore. Im a senior at the academy. Im also a part of the spoke program. Schools like academy are very good for students and special education in. We need the smaller schools to help us grow and learn with all the resources we can get. I know for me, Small Schools are a big help because you can have more one on one time with the teachers and your ability. They are able to understand and help more in big schools we are able to work as well and we can struggle more with learning. With smaller schools. Our community is big for me. I know that there could be other things going on inside and outside of school, and a Bigger School environment can make that more stressful and make time management harder. We deserve the right to a good and fair education as much as other kids. Even if we learn different , take a longer time to understand or need extra help. Were all the same. All human people sometimes think that since theyre in special education, they matter less because theyre just going too slow. Others down or that we dont work as hard. But theyre wrong. We work our butts off to get better and we will be able to get what others are learning since our brains work differently, we work harder and we will understand. We just need the support smaller schools provide to do the learning. If the if the School Closes down, its just another small school that special education students wont have to thrive and grow. This has happened before. They have closed down the school and now were back. And it would just be repeating history. And some parents who went to mcateer before and want to see the school stay open. And for the kids, too, they wont have a school to come back as alumnis. And we just recently had the school renovated and have an amazing gym, cafeteria, track and locker rooms, but also newer classrooms and offices. Also even though most kids dont know about the school because they dont market it with when students go to this school, they most the school most end up loving it and recommending it to others as siblings and friends based on the experience. One other thing too, is that we are very a very Central School and we have great transportation and travel for any off campus stuff like sports and internships. If this School Closes down, then sota wont have the sports and it would make it make it more of a struggle for money, for making money. This is amazing. School. Please dont close this school. Thank you for your time. Thank you. I just want to remind the public that Public Comment right now is only on agenda items for this evening because its a workshop meeting. So the folks on zoom as well. Thank you. My name is sorry. Times up, rex j. Go ahead. My name is rex ridgway. And young lady at your school, talk to your principal because prop g money covers the nurse. Okay thats what your money is. I i have an answer to a lot of questions from the workshop and his homework. The student family handbook, chapter four says at the beginning of the school year, teachers shall communicate homework expectations to students and their parent guardians. As california board. Policy 6154. Now now, as a parent, if i my kid has homework, i know exactly what shes being taught. And i also know if she can do it. I didnt see any homework up there. I have been a big fan of homework and when you get to lincoln, you get homework all the time. You can ask miss lamb. We both have juniors. They get homework all the time. Now why is that important in the future . And im going to wrap it up because if you get the stanford, we have our stanford thing or i have to say, and you make under 100 and thousand dollars on your room board in tuition is covered, period. Thats the same thing with brown columbia, princeton, yale, if you make under 100,000 and you get there , they got you covered. So what im saying is homework. You start them early, get them disciplined, get them ready when they take those sat tests, what have you, they can get into those schools and its covered. Thank you. All right. Um hi, everyone. Thank you board for taking my comment. Meredith dodson, earlier today we sent you a letter from Sf Parent Coalition calling on you to act with greater urgency and to develop a concrete plan to address the challenges in our math and reading programs at sfusd that you discussed tonight. A year ago, you set a vision and we commend you for the vision that you set and the goals that youd like to reach by 2027. For our students. Tonight, you looked at the data that illustrates how far we are , how far off we are from some of our goals. Next year, we could be even further far, it looks like tonight theres an acknowledgment of the problem and a commitment to a year of monitoring. We know this is important, the data is important and families like you already heard from want to know what interventions and strategies will help our students get back on track today, tomorrow, this year . What what is being done for those students each and every day our students will fall further behind and our equity gap grows. Where is the plan to get our students on track and prevent them from falling further behind . We need tutoring, additional instructional hours, individually tailored plans our kids cant wait for process process, process. We need a plan. Thank you. Hi, jeff lucas. How i learned to love the back or more appropriately, the practice is back may 5th, 2018
