Can do to support a piece of legislation that apparently or he has at least 8 supporters on the board of supervisors. We expect that this motion offered by pres. Haney will pass unanimously. We expect nothing of. Thank you. Comments from the board . Commissioner yes, i would like to have the opportunity to discuss this in committee and thats why i voted against the suspension of the rules. I think nobody likes evictions. We understand there is a real housing crisis, but i want to make sure when we opaque on policy we are accounting for not only be attended outcomes. We want to provide protection to families get we want to keep families in San Francisco, but that we also think about the unintended consequences. One of the concerns i have is if we give protection for a very very broad. Its for anyone employed by the School District, anyone employed at any school, charter, private school. Including preschool. Eviction protection, there is nothing to prevent a landlord from not leasing to an educator because of these protections. I didnt see any safeguards in the legislation against that. So, while we intend to keep families in San Francisco, i i believe some Property Owners will use this as a means to discrinate against our educators among the very educators that need the housing. So, i wouldve liked to have had discussions on how we can address safeguards so that the supply of housing is available just on an equal basis to educators as it is to others. So, i would have liked to of have an opportunity to visit that, to think about the unintended consequences of what is wellmeaning legislation, but in the end, i decided these protections are valuable and of the board of supervisors would like to confer this very viable protection to our educators i am forward because it might drive people into the teaching profession because it is a benefit. So, i will be in the end, supporting this proposal. Public Comment is closed. Commissioner thank you pres. Antonini. We had time time against about the shortage of teachers in the shortage of substitutes and if we were able to lose that teacher this year we would not be able to replace that teacher because of our lack of substitutes get we heard repeatedly teachers at this podium, repeatedly about the lack of housing an hour how housing is a huge issue that i myself have written letters to them words imploring them not to raise the rent 100 during the school year were we would lose that teacher. So, teachers are moderately wage earners in it so difficult lighting for moderate wage earners to actually find a place in San Francisco in which to live. So, this gives some stability, although not forever. This temperate stability and so i think we have heard enough in committee about the need to open how this impacts the service to our students and weve heard repeatedly from teachers at schools whether snow coverage for substitutes weve heard that over and over and over again and so i think it warrants this actual vote in support of it. It is, i think, we have so few tools at the San Francisco Unified School District around us that i think it is, you are right. I dig we are in a crisis mode. Thank you. Commissioner norton commissioner norton thank you for bring this forward. I am supportive. I am a writer myself and a parent of 2 children and i thought of us something happening to our housing in the middle of the school year would be a tremendously disruptive and hard for entire family but particularly for my kids, and, you know, ive heard the testimony from teachers. I think we heard from a number of teachers that said that cesar chavez at the last meeting. That was really affecting to me because that is not an easy school always to teach at. I think these are incredibly dedicated teachers who been there a long time and who just i mean all of us get past the point where you dont want to live in oakland where he like to maybe 2 rooms instead of just a dining room to live in. Just the anxiety thats out there in San Francisco right now among parents, teachers, among middle income people is reallyis very debilitating. So, thank you for bringing it for. I am supportive. Commissioner mendoza commissioner mendoza ill be supporting this as well. I do have a question in regards to enforcement. I do worry that landlords may not be willing to take it taken teachers but is there something in the resolution and the supervisors resolution, that has to do with enforcement or discrimination i guess thats a more appropriate word to the teacher were to apply for a apartment and they do not get it because they were a teacher and because this is standing in the words feel this is, if they ever had to move the teacher that they couldnt whenever they felt like it. Have weis there any kind of enforcement that in there or something that could be considered for that . I dont want our teachers now getting turned away because we have something specific for teachers. I dont know that anybody knows the answer to that . Im not a lawyer but we work closely with supervisor campos from the very beginning. I actually asked that question and between the question about unintended consequences and the followup. So, the answer i got from david campos its against the law to discriminate based on employment. Thats basically it. Its against the law so a landlord cannot discriminate against printing to an educator because they werent educated. Were anybody else who fall under the protection of that law should it come to pass. So thats the short answer. Ill go to law school next good i get that but i guess like spelling that out. I dont know if its not in that resolution having nudity in our resolution because it is the enforcement piece of it that which i guess a teacher could sue if theyve felt like you were discriminated against but if we didnt know that, how would others know that. If theres a way to put that into our Resolution Service more explosive. I dont know. Just something im wondering about it if i could, the question has been raised as a matter fact in camposs office and one of the points they raise is that there already is a protection for students families in the district. Believe me, one thing that San Francisco has other than doing a Corporate Developers driving gentrification is the weave an army of people on the streets who are tenant activists and what they said at least anecdotally over anyones knowledge, its very rare for there to be complaints from families that their discriminated against because their children. So, again, they would be violating a law and, you know, i think we would be ready to move on the discrimination law. We shall we hope the city would enforce the law. Thats a genuine concern i have. When i is a single parent had peoplein multiple places they asked me to bring my children so they can meet them. So, its that fine line that wasnt quite discriminating but they wanted to see if my children were well behaved children moving into the apartments. Its crazy. I worry about that. Commissioner waldman commissioner i just want to say this one step in the right direction. Theres a lot of work we have to do to make sure that our educators in the School District personnel can still stay in San Francisco including, of course, payment assistance on homes, more subsidized housing as well as work with other developers, as it is to provide opportunities in certain areas of the city. Deftly supporting this is a nobrainer for me but definitely not its baby step and weve a lot more work to do. Commissioner be supporting this. I think we need to do every thing we can and we have not done all things we can do which is to develop housing for our teachers and our staff. Using the limited resources we have. So its a hobbyhorse that im on it. I did want to say we should be aware of what commissioner mendoza and mcdonald said. Theres a much competition for housing in San Francisco that landlords just pick from tenants that they want. It doesnt have any of the parents of discrimination. So, i do think hopefully, when this passes we will need to work with all our partners to make sure there is strict enforcement and monitoring because people, you go apply for place to live in those 20 people that they just pick the one they want. Lets see what happens. But i think i thank you for doing this i think that we also need to keep in mind [inaudible] and its because theyre stable employment and also within fingerprints. I mean, really where else do you get that kind of screening, quite frankly, and full benefits. So i think they actually make great tenants. I think we should be promoting that quite frankly even more. They make great tenants. We would recommend any landlord to actually rent to them. Well, ill obviously be supporting this. I think theres a lot is what folks already said. A lot of things the city can do and i hope this is the beginning of more that comes out of city hall to support educators and really do creative and even bigger things to address the crisis that our educators are facing. In reality, we can do our job here and we all agree with that in this Current Situation its not fair to our teachers. Its not fair to our schools. Software to anyone school staff and our entire school communities. So i agree that this is the absolute least we can do and very proud it sounds like were going to stand unanimously as a school board in a School District with our school staff, and i hope that is communicated work and continue to fight strongly for this and other measures that really seek to address what is a crisis and should be treated as a crisis. So, i think in every school especially this year that i visited it comes up as was said earlier that this is at the top of my for educators were living on the edge and already sacrificing so much. I thought they can also have to sacrifice their home were in danger of losing their home is something that least hopefully we can take up the table for some period of time that i want to of course recognize speaking in his white oregano scene in particular the leadership of united educators of San Francisco and their leadership and really pushing this forward, and being creative in working with the city to come up with real solutions. So, thank you. We are very proud to Practice Forward and hopefully support it. Will call. [call of the roll] all right. And Board Members reports. Standing Committee Reports committee from the report info weve heard that all right. Apart from the Legislation Committee commissioner lynn this is indisposed. Commissionerthere were other things that report from the Personnel Committee yes. We prove the item that we spoke about this evening and then we also have an update on our hiring. And what we are doing 2this is early and were starting earlier to recruit teachers because we know theres a huge Teacher Shortage. Then also we have commissioners, you might have received a talent surveys that was done and we reviewed that at the meetings. Talent readiness assessment, i think. Did you guys receive that . Its from hr. Actually, we had we walked through that. We went to employee evaluations that i think were going to followup with more extensive questions the answers to the questions that we asked that the committee. Thank you. I think [inaudible] commissioner i think the want to report the main thing we did is a review of legislation. All of you shouldve got today in your box an email box document that looks like this. It is the updated version of the positions the committee is taken on behalf of the School Districts that includes positions on several of the new bills that havent introduced and also has a built that were watching and that were interested in. The [inaudible] looks like this. Its this big. If we dont want to you that i hope you be interested in knowing the positions the district is taking so you can navigate but the bills of interest which will be coming to us, again will be looking at them in the near future so please do that. Will this be posted . Are positions . Our positions . So, we should post this so the community can know what positions we taken. In facsimile asked me about that recently. So that was what the committee did in our next meeting will beexcuse meapril 20. I think the many discussed the 27th or 28th depending on schedules. Correct. So, actually, this is something the full board needs to help us with because the 27th is the 5th wednesday in april and so the 5th, nothing is a regular meeting scheduled on the 5th. Sweet lake of the Woods Committee that night. So were asking the board not to schedule anything else for that night. Tuesday . Wednesday. One of the members of the committee was not there. Commissioner walton. Are you available on that date, the 25th . At 6 30 pm . Can we check calendars later . We just wanted to announce it. Thank you. Thank you. Other reports by Board Members . Commissioner commissioner we just returned from a council city schools and i have a briefing paper if anybody is interested in learning more than angry wants to know about every Student Succeeds after the new amendment that were passed into law. But, actually, i hope you all want to do with the details are and presumably will be forthcoming in our meeting people tell us whats can have to change them up but that information is available should you want it. Then, 2nd, if i may i just want to say on then, 2nd, if i may i just want to say on 16 march was sp 8 was a an action day in sacramento and i would quickly say the legislative priorities for California School Boards Association this year will continue to be getting the reserve cap repeals were at least made tolerable for School Districts. There are, of course, budget issue. The main budget issue is looking a proposed new institutional funding for Early Education, which we kind of dont like as proposed because it would first of all because its not going to the governors proposal is not to go through the policy which we would oppose. Also, it proposes to mix prek funding in with Early Education funding which would be bad for School District. They would give us less money to serve markets. Then, senate bill 1434, which is a Charter School bill that is pretty draconian and we will discuss again. We took a position on it at the rules Committee Meeting on it but that information is available to you and there will be a whole package of bills on professional development and other actions meant as a legislative package to address the Teacher Shortage issues, which staff presumably will want to be involved in discussing. I think that is it. Thank you. Commissioner Mendoza Mcdonald commissioner mendoza we are not that of buildings and grounds committees meeting this month because its the week of spring break.
