I personally experienced and heard photographer too many pay issues from colleagues at washington and the district. You just heard from one of my colleagues. The issues are harming our educators, communities and students. With more than 100 vacancies and as we move toward the start of the school year, sfusd is failing students by failing to pay those of us serving them. Health tickets unanswerd and impossible to reach a human being who takes the time to help us. Sfusd cannot hope to attract educator when is they fail to pay what we are worth and fail to pay us correctly or at all on top of that. Im in my sixth year but if this continues i will follow those who have left. Thank you. Im philip i work at sherman elementary the leadership and class is in session put out your phones and look at banking apps and look under credits.

This is the leadership of San Francisco unified district. And we need to see that you are stepping up to do a number of things so we ensure our students have the schools they deserve. The back of our tshirt say we are fighting for the schools. The first step is to immediately fix empower. We have put out a plan to do that and we expect it to be followed so no person come back in september and share the stories that educators shared with us today. That is the first step. There are 15 Million Dollars on on going fundses and 70 Million Dollars of one time fund this is need to be used creatively to address the very real problems we face for educators. I want to speak to subsidiary. We need to be creative about how substitutes are placed at thank you. Next 5 speakers. Kristin. Terence. Rafael. Aaron young. And jackson. Im a teacher from local high school. I have been teaching in this district for over 27 years i had the opportunity and past to lead this district but im committed to leaving and staying here and working at the district and working with the community in which i live. However under empower this past year has been changing for meant teachers i work with. And we have also a special Ed Department that is under staffed. Making it challenging for those teachers there and making it dangerous for the kid that are not getting the help they need. [applause] im terence teaching for 15 years [inaudible]. And i want to ejo the passion and experience of my fellow educators and add i have been a youth baseball coach. We had 8 players when we have 8 players no matter how much heart we bring to the game we will not be as good as if we had 9 players. My team were not a made for hollywood movie. Schools are not either. We need a school board and leadership that can take care of payroll issue, keep our schools funded. Thank you. Im a little short. Im rafael. Im 1021 School District chapter president. You will hear from our members front line members with true stories what they are suffering they are not getting paid properly. We people want to retire. District is 6 to 8 months behind in contribute to retirement our members lose interest. The 403 bs the money taken out of paychecks but not given to the institutions that we ask they be begin to. So we are losing interest there. We have hardship. People are not able to pay rent. Not able to pay bills this is ridiculous. And empower was a loser from the beginning and a loser now. Why are we still that work on the program that is not working for the district. Obviously, when they release today in early january, major problems. Cost the district more money than the program cost the district. Get rid of empower and bring back the old system it was not broke it should not have been fixed. Thank you. Good eviling im a graduate and 6 year teacher at mlk middle school. Im okay with 7 staff short. We head to the next school year next week. There is an addition to positions consolidated due to budget am cuts. Increased the class size. We serve the highest percentage of student in thes district. And the vast majority of students are students of color. Short staff is an equity issue how can we improve student out come in over crowded classrooms with over worked teachers or no teachers at all if you pay teachers on time we can focus on our students rather than how we pay rent and buy groceries if you keep them low and fully starch our schools we focus education rather than management. Instead of blaming families and increasing teacher work loads fix empower. Pay to match the cost of living and staff our schools to focus. Thank you.
