Current courses so the idea that to bui to build fidelity for opportunities for Certification Programs and to build our college and pathway too big build a Solid Foundation and moving forward well look at other courses that are available and really a negotiation between cc sf and the office of college of careerness. Do they limit the number. I dont believe so but in the beginning we wanted to start with a small very directive and targeted classes we set up with and just building on the current existing classes in the pathways programs to the school sites. Is there a little limitation on like only juniors and seniors can enroll or allow freshmen and others too. Im going to defer to may i hudson i know they have 16 years and older as part of agreement to enrolled students in the programs doesnt the change in the state law allow us to give credit to younger students. For this agreement it allows tenth and 11 and 12 graders to take other classes thank you. Dr. Murase. One question so the students that take the courses will they be awarded College Credits. Yes. Their offered not only College Credits but a cca. I appreciate that that very much theres been an ongoing discussion at the board about access for students that Point College credit scissors through the app program that has an uneven sustainability in the district i support this as another way for students to get College Credits thank you. Ms. Fewer. That is wonderful actually, i think this is the director we should be going instead of education classes it is an a t class i know that a t class actually, you dont get College Credits necessarily you score i mean the scale is one to 5 you get a 5 to get College Credits so no guarantee. So i then as direction actually, we should go with all our seniors it would be fabulous if all the students have College Courses it proves they can succeed with college the first generations to attend college i think outside the box this gives them the added confidence and an a t class is tact for text not the depth and the breathe of a full class and he also think that if they can get College Credits it helps them to alleviate some of the costs of college and want to see all the students have a year of College Credit under their pellet by the confidence im a graduate of city college and i went from George Washington high school and didnt think i had the confidence there were classes i failed and learned a lot from that but the opportunity i had and this is another plug for city college the opportunity to take the classes at city college was my father thought when i was 14 it was my opportunity to go to college but it changed my life quite frankly and gave me a second chaplain i think that when we have this opportunity for our students to take those classes i think that we should give it expanded and the partnership is what ive looked for many years and pushed this this is remarkable this is the right thing to do it is the right constriction for our kids and actually, i think that helps us level the Playing Field so thank you very much thank you. I agree i think this is really important step in the right direction we should be aware of and work on we have students that are are who are allowed to lots of students in high school to take classes in college and high school weve done life things to facilitate and that was one the original reasons for moving the school year forward was to be more closely offsite or i understand with institutions of Higher LearningLike City College with our students and like our educators to be able to participate some of the special development of other institutions of Higher Learning but we this was supposed to be a huge opportunity for students to be able to take classes at city college and they to this day and highend achieve students adding more to their transcript and to their experience it is great but didnt address the equity issues so this is a very important step in the right direction to make sure that we dont i remember what we have in place is the best intention is something that gives an opportunity and take advantage of the students we want to take advantage but not those who need it for Credit Recovery or an opportunity to assess Higher Education and career, etc. Im hoping that will be another lever in that work well be working on this relationship will help us to work more on things that we can do some of it may require well talk about that but looking at more flexibility and scheduled in high school for students they can do things off the campus more i dont know the answers or not im sure there are plenty of people with wisdom but this is important but i think the bigger issue about maximizing an opportunity for that the students is still unresolved we have a lot of experience well go with that and this work being a step in the right direction but hopefully help us too. Student delegate. Thank you yeah yes. I echo my school i know yeah city college sorry i know that is really great and goes into this college my school didnt have a t classes it is a great way to experience college and this is great kind of like to double check and also the students are not required; right . To take those for anything and information sharing didnt doesnt state what didnt say a lot but my concern is personally documented to how maybe you can answer this how city college followed up with with keeping the Information Private and safe. So thats one of the beauties of this agreement now a shared Partnership Agreement with that as well so the instruction with the Legal Department i dont know that the legalities but i i know that our Legal Department with sfusd is a Single Department working closely with our data shairl or sharing agreement that is all safe and secure and that protects our dehumanized students and other students that is a primary reason for being involved in it as well. Thank you. I actually appreciate youre raising that that was previously a barrier for some of the students to be able to take the classes at city college we had to go up to sacramento and get a bill back to address that issue to make sure that was 2540 it was attending to High School Students and make sure that continues to be monitored and have access for all the students i want to say one thing echoing from the entire board how excited we are about this work and hope that continues move forward and to expend tendered and debris to see the growth in the number of students that are enrolled it is extraordinary and appreciate a sweat shi shout ou education portfolio city college must be a foundation for what we can offer in educational experience for children and youth and young people in the city of San Francisco we cant have that conversation without starting with both sfusd and city college together and opening up the entire portfolio there is potential for us to do incredible things in terms of what we offer the students and the ultimate goal a pathway to high field careers here that allows them to stay and broadened in San Francisco and city college is a unique position to provide those pathways so thank you with that, i think well take a vote on this roll call please. Thank you for your work. Ms. Ing. Ms. Fewer ms. Mendozamcdonnell dr. Murase ms. Norton mr. Walton ms. Wynns and mr. Haney 7 is. clapping. all right. Item l discussion of other education issues two thank you, everyone again for your patience and commitment in staying with us for those two important conversations im pass it now to superintendant lee we believe we have a power point. Thank you, president haney im going to just make a few introductory remark our fabulous ali team and superintendant guerrero will make remarks as well the first thing id like to do it already happened by all the commissioners or most of i to thank the apac for some of the apac members that are still here i believe were all very appreciative of the work and the momentum that is building with apac and most of us have made at least within visit not apac this year and echoing other comments that commissioners have made i was really blown away by the turn out the deputy of the conversation, the engagement and the following through so i want to thank you, mr. Link youre work and all the members of the apac were encouraged to see such moementd building i want to thank reverend brown for his comments tonight and for extending himself so consistently and honestly to all of us including me personally i respect everything he said to us and shared with us tonight and agree with all of it certainly want to society myself with the point of view that we live and work in a deeply i think equal and unfair and racist society and we have to accept we situate our work in the context and doing everything we can to acknowledge it and combat it at the same time, we have to manage the tension i think this is a struggle for us and true with the ali team as well between being clear eyed about the status quo that is not acceptable and haunts all of us we must own and not paralyzed by the devastating status quo and celebrating the successes and investing in a acceptable self selfdefense a tricky balance for all of us and comes through in the discussion over the next several minutes and want to say remarked on that a few meetings ago i believe are commissioner mendosamcdonnell have made president haney referenced vision 2025 vision 2025 is a vision so for our students is absent of a repeat of some comments i made at an earlier meeting centered around this graduate profile once the graduate profile represent to us and to me and then Steering Wheel efficient vision of every graduate including every brake student that we serve to not just graduate not just have contact knowledge but to have a sense of belonging creativity and ability to collaborative and to be a Digital Citizen with a sense of belonging empathy and finally most important to be filled with a sense of purpose and value if this vision is something we can deliver as reverend brown and others said to all the teacher the africanamerican students every africanamerican student can excel i wholeheartedly agree every student in the district can excel this is a two part the apac presentation and the discussion was part one that is part two but the discussion definitely do hand in hand i will also like to thank the ali team theyll introduce themselves mr.

Dickey and his team for providing leadership capacity to continue to stay focused on the works but i want to recognize reverend browns earlier remarks that echo loudly for all of us we understand and only be successful by adapting a more expensive and collective approach to this work clearly this important work is not solely the responsibility of our apac and team we all have to share opener and accountable for this work i want to undermine there is an elevated level of priority this is Telegraph Hill been placed across all the conversations and leadership structures in San Francisco unified in addition to the ali lead activities youll hear about in a moment ill name a couple of examples youll hear some of these referred to tie in the presentation they everything just a pointed out a couple number one your superintendents Leadership Team by superintendant lee has selected as a key area of focus for the africanamerican students achievement and okay in the Underserved Community with the key focus for the school year, and, secondly, our deputy superintendent has initiated the yearlong studies of identifying africanamerican students at a vocal school to understand the challenge and the impact of your support and intervene and where we need to increase those third, i also want to make sure that it is clear we continue to monitor and provide direct support and intervene to schools like Lowell High School for africanamerican students themselves have voiced concerns within their community and learn how they maybe providing lessons not only within the community but how those practices might be expanded across many more schools commissioners in our in box you will find also a lengthy all of a variety of ways that staff is placing the emphasis often the africanamerican achievement a summary and update of the work at lowell and the board will be hearing at an upcoming meeting and hear an assessment the work commenced and coordinated by the superintendent and along with the clorox of many Central Office departments were putting a reenthused focus negative impact that the Bayview Community with that, im going to turn it over to mr.
