THERE WILL BE A TOTAL OF FIVE MINUTES FOR SPEAKERS. ARE THERE ANY SPEAKERS FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? YES WE HAVE ONE. >> GOOD. HELLO. HI AMA. AFTER PRESIDENT OF USF THANKS FOR HAVING ME BOARD AND DR. SUE I SHARED A LETTER WITH YOU ALL A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO AND I HAVE A HARD COPY IN FRONT OF YOU RIGHT NOW SO I'M JUST GOING TO READ TO YOU FROM IT BEFORE YOU GO INTO CLOSED SESSION. THIS IS FROM USF MEMBERSHIP AND THE SIGNATORIES ARE PART OF
THE ONLINE VERSION THAT I SHARED. STRONG LEADERS ARE THE FOUNDATION. IT'S TIME TO INVEST IN US. WE, THE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED ADMINISTRATORS OF SAN FRANCISCO WROTE TODAY WITH URGENCY AND RESOLVE. OUR SCHOOL LEADERS IN THE US CENTRAL OFFICE ADMINISTRATORS HAVE INVESTED IN AND HELD THIS DISTRICT TOGETHER THROUGH SOME OF ITS MOST TURBULENT YEARS. AND NOW WE ARE CALLING ON S.F. USD TO DO THE SAME FOR US. WE REMAINED THROUGH THE CHAOS THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC, THE SCHOOL REOPENINGS A BOTCHED SCHOOL CLOSURE PROCESS WITH UNPAID STIPENDS STILL OUTSTANDING. THE EXODUS OF DISTRICT LEADERSHIP BREAKDOWNS IN ESSENTIAL SYSTEMS INCLUDING PAYROLL. AND YEAR AFTER YEAR OF INSTABILITY WITHIN HUMAN RESOURCES. >> THROUGH IT ALL SCHOOL AND OTHER CENTRAL OFFICE LEADERS STEPPED UP WORKING THROUGH SUMMERS TO ENSURE SCHOOLS WOULD OPEN FULLY STAFFED FUNCTIONAL AND READY TO SERVE STUDENTS. BUT NOW WE ARE BEING ASKED TO DO EVEN MORE.
THIS YEAR ALONE, STATE LEADERS ARE EXPECTED TO TAKE ON MEDICAL TRAINING TITLE NINE RESPONSIBILITIES NEW COMPLIANCE MANDATES MULTIPLE COMPLEX TECHNICAL SYSTEMS ALL OVER ALL WHILE RECEIVING LESS SUPPORT FROM LEAD CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION AND SITE BASED STAFF AT THIS YEAR'S ADMIN INSTITUTE. DR. SUE STATED WE NEED YOU ALL TO DO MORE IF THOSE WORDS ARE TRUE. THEN WE ASK FOR ACTIONS THAT REFLECT THEM. WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR IS NOT EXCESSIVE. IT IS OVERDUE. WHILE US SF MEMBERS RECEIVED TWO RAISES LAST YEAR 3% IN THE FALL AND 2% IN THE SPRING, UAA MEMBERS RECEIVED NONE. COMPENSATION IS OUR MEMBERS NUMBER ONE CONCERN. MEANWHILE SURROUNDING DISTRICTS OFFER 30 TO $40,000 MORE ANNUALLY AND THEY'RE ACTIVELY RECRUITING OUR LEADERS. IT'S NO SURPRISE THAT AS OF TUESDAY EXPERIENCED THE SCHOOL LEADER TURNOVER AT A RATE OF NEARLY 25 TO 30% PER YEAR FAR ABOVE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF 18%. THIS CHURN IS MORE THAN A STAFFING CHALLENGE. IT'S A THREAT TO STUDENT
SUCCESS. RESEARCH CONFIRMS WHAT WE SEE EVERY DAY. PRINCIPAL TURNOVER LEADS TO TEACH OVER TEACHER TURNOVER DISRUPTED SCHOOL CLIMATE AND LOWER STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT ESPECIALLY IN HIGH POVERTY SCHOOLS THAT DEPEND MOST ON CONSISTENT LEADERSHIP. WE WANT TO BE HERE. >> WE WANT TO CONTINUE BUILDING THE STRONG, INCLUSIVE, HIGH PERFORMING SCHOOLS OUR STUDENTS DESERVE. BUT WE CANNOT DO THAT WHILE BEING UNDERVALUED, OVERWORKED AND PAY FAR LESS THAN OUR PEERS ELSEWHERE. >> WE ARE ASKING S.F. USG AND THE BOARD OF EDUCATION TO ONE PRIORITIZE USSF MEMBER COMPENSATION AND THE CURRENT AND FUTURE PLANNING BUDGET PLANNING PROCESSES TO ENSURE PARITY AND FAIRNESS BY ADDRESSING THE COMPENSATION GAP BETWEEN USF AND SURROUNDING DISTRICTS. AND THREE. HONOR YOUR OWN COMMITMENT TO EQUITY AND STUDENT SUCCESS BY SUPPORTING THE LEADERS WHO MAKE BOTH POSSIBLE. STRONG LEADERS MEAN STRONG SCHOOLS. IF S.F. USD TRULY VALUES EQUITY EXCELLENCE AND STUDENT OUTCOMES THEN IT MUST BEGIN BY INVESTING IN ITS SCHOOL LEADERS. RESPECTFULLY, THE MEMBERS OF USF UNITED ADMINISTRATORS OF
SAN FRANCISCO. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT'S HOW WE SPEAK THE CARD WE HAVE THIS EVENING AND THERE IS NO ONE ON THE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENT THIS EVENING. GOOD TO SEE YOU AT THIS TIME.

THAT'S IF U.S. BOARD OF EDUCATION FOLLOWS THE STUDENT OUTCOMES FOCUSED GOVERNANCE MODEL BASED ON COMMUNITY INPUT THE BOARD HAS ADOPTED OUR VISION VALUES GOALS AND GUARDRAILS IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE PORTION OF BOARD MEETING TIME WE SPEND AS THE OUTCOMES EVERY OTHER REGULAR MEETING IS A MONITORING WORKSHOP. THIS MODEL ALSO CALLS ON THE BOARD TO EMPOWER THE SUPERINTENDENT TO TAKE FULL OWNERSHIP OF THE STRATEGIES USED TO REACH THESE GOALS WITHIN THE GUARDRAILS SET BY THE BOARD. AS WE IMPLEMENT THIS NEW GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK THE BOARD WILL CONTINUE TO ADOPT NEW SYSTEMS, ROUTINES AND POLICIES THAT IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES. WE ENCOURAGE THE PUBLIC TO FOLLOW THIS WORK ON OUR WEBSITE AT SFO USD.EDU/GOVERNANCE AS WE COMMIT TO FINDING NEW AND IMPROVED WAYS TO MORE MEANINGFULLY ENGAGE WITH STAFF STUDENTS AND FAMILIES. WITH THAT I'LL TURN IT OVER TO THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
THANK YOU PRESIDENT KIM AND GOOD EVENING EVERYONE HERE AND I HAVE A FEW UPDATES AND THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE. THE FIRST ONE IS OUR TRANSITION FROM OR FROM OUR PREVIOUS ENTERPRISE SYSTEM AND POWER INTO OUR NEW SYSTEM FRONT LINE . I KNOW THAT TRANSITIONING SUCH SYSTEMS ARE REALLY DIFFICULT AND VERY COMPLEX. I GREATLY APPRECIATE EVERYONE FOR COMING TO ALL OF OUR TRAININGS, OUR STAFF FOR COMING TO ALL OF OUR TRAININGS AND PUTTING YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD AND TRYING TO MAKE THIS WORK. I AM REALLY PROUD THAT WE HAVE TRANSITIONED THIS IS NOW A MONTH AND SEVERAL DAYS INTO THIS TRANSITION AND THINGS ARE HOLDING FRONT LINE IS HOLDING. WE ARE AT 97% ACCURACY RATES FOR THE FOR ALL OF OUR PAYROLLS AND PAYCHECKS. GRANTED THAT IS NOT OKAY. >> WE SHOULD BE AT 100% AND WE WILL WE WILL I WE HAVE STAFF WORKING DAY AND NIGHT ANSWERING TICKETS RESPONDING TO OUR EMPLOYEES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
GET IT RIGHT BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY IT IS MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE PAYING OUR STAFF PARTICULARLY BECAUSE AS THEY HAVE BEEN TRAUMATIZED ALREADY WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO DO THIS TO THEM. AND WE ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ADDRESS THEIR ISSUES AND WORK QUICKLY TO ADDRESS THEM. FRONTLINE IS EXTREMELY STABLE. IT IS A SYSTEM THAT IS USED BY OVER 60% OF OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND IT HAS PROVEN ITSELF TO US ALREADY WITHIN ITS FIRST MONTH. WE ARE ABLE TO GO INTO THE SYSTEM AND IDENTIFY KEY ISSUES THAT ARE BROUGHT TO US VERY QUICKLY. WE'RE ABLE TO THEN ADDRESS THE ISSUE VERY QUICKLY. SO I AM REALLY, REALLY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THIS SYSTEM AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY WHERE I CAN SAY THAT WE ARE AT 100% ACCURACY RATES AND THAT DAY WILL COME SOON. YOU WILL HEAR MORE UPDATES
ABOUT THIS SYSTEM AND THE PROCESS IN OUR LATER PRESENTATION BUT I KNOW THAT THERE'S JUST BEEN A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT THIS. I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT WE ARE WORKING ON IT AND THAT WE EXPECT THAT OUR NEXT TRANCHE OF PAYROLLS TO GO SMOOTHLY. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. I ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FEAR AND UNCERTAINTY SURROUNDING OUR RECENT IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT SURROUNDING THE RECENT IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES THAT'S HAPPENING THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. AS WE HEAD INTO THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR NEXT WEEK, I WANT TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC SCHOOL REMAINS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A SAFE, WELCOMING AND INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. REGARDLESS OF IMMIGRATION STATUS, WE DO NOT COLLECT THAT PIECE OF INFORMATION. FAMILIES PLEASE DO NOT PROVIDE
THAT INFORMATION AND IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR YOU TO SHARE YOUR IMMIGRATION STATUS TO SFI USD NOR TO ANY OF OUR PROVIDERS OR PARTNERS. NO ONE SHOULD BE ASKING YOU OF THAT IN OUR SCHOOLS AS SD IS A SANCTUARY SCHOOL DISTRICT. THAT MEANS THAT OUR SCHOOLS ARE SAFE HAVENS WHERE ALL STUDENTS ARE WELCOME AND VALUED AND WHERE ALL OF OUR CHILDREN HAVE THE RIGHT TO ACCESS A A RIGOROUS AND ACADEMIC EDUCATION. NO MATTER THEIR LEGAL STATUS, WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK CLOSELY WITH LEADERSHIP AT THE STATE LEVEL AS WELL AS OUR CITY AND CITY PARTNERS AND OUR NONPROFIT COMMUNITY. WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED DID LOTS OF COLLABORATIVE CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR CITY PARTNERS AND OUR NONPROFIT COMMUNITIES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALL COME TOGETHER TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS, TO SUPPORT OUR FAMILIES AND TO SUPPORT OUR STAFF PARTICULARLY AS WE ARE
TRYING TO NEGOTIATE AND NAVIGATE LOTS OF FEAR THAT IS IN THE SYSTEM RIGHT NOW. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO AS WE APPROACH THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL THERE'S STILL LOTS OF ENROLLMENT ACTIVITIES HAPPENING. I WANT TO REMIND FAMILIES WHO ARE COMING HERE WHO ARE CONSIDERING TO JOIN SF USD. PLEASE GO ON TO OUR WEBSITE. YOU STILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY. THERE ARE STUDENTS WHO ARE ON THE WAITLIST. WE ARE GOING THROUGH THE WAITLIST AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE A PLACEMENT FOR YOUR STUDENTS. YOU CAN TRACK YOUR STUDENTS POSITION ON THE WAIT LIST ON PARENT VIEW. AND AS SEATS ARE BECOMING AVAILABLE WE WILL WORK QUICKLY TO OFFER THOSE SEATS TO YOUR STUDENTS. THE ENROLLMENT CENTER SENDS OUT NEW OFFERINGS EVERY WEEKDAY AT 8 A.M. AFTER 8 P.M.. PLEASE CHECK YOUR. I WILL START TEXTING AND EMAILING FOLKS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UPDATE THE WAITLIST
STATUS. AND THEN OF COURSE FOR FAMILIES WHO WANT TO HAVE AN IN-PERSON CONVERSATION WITH ANY OF OUR ENROLLMENT CENTER STAFF. PLEASE WALK IN AND TALK TO ONE OF OUR STAFF. SO AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ENROLLMENT, AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT STUDENTS COMING BACK FOR THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, IT'S ALSO REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE REMIND EVERYONE THE IMPORTANCE OF COMING TO SCHOOL. SO ATTENDANCE IS A REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR US EVERY SINGLE DAY OUR YOUNG PEOPLE DO NOT COME TO SCHOOL. THEY'RE LOSING VALUABLE INSTRUCTIONAL MINUTES. THEY'RE LOSING THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE WITH THEIR FRIENDS AND THEIR COLLEAGUES. THEY'RE LOSING THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD SOCIAL SKILLS AND LEARN HOW TO INTERACT WITH OTHERS. AND THEY'RE LOSING THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD THEIR
COMMUNITY. SO TODAY I LAUNCHED A NEW CAMPAIGN CALLED BE HERE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT STUDENTS NEED. THEY NEED TO BE HERE. THEY NEED TO COME HERE AND MAKE THEMSELVES AVAILABLE TO ALL THE WONDERFUL ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT WE SERVE USD HAVE. I AM SO SO THANKFUL TO ALL THE DONORS PARTICULARLY SPARK SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS, THEIR BOARD AND OUR PHILANTHROPIC PARTNERS FOR MAKING THIS A REALITY AS WELL AS CITY LEADERS FOR WORKING WITH US ESPECIALLY THE SAN FRANCISCO MTA AS WELL AS OUR PUBLIC LIBRARY AND THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN, YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES AND THE DEPARTMENT OF EARLY CHILD HOOD FOR WORKING TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THE MESSAGE OUT THERE. OUR CHILDREN BELONG HERE. WE WANT OUR CHILDREN TO BE HERE IN OUR SCHOOLS WHERE THEY WILL LEARN FROM OUR AMAZING EDUCATORS. YES.
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND SO LAST WEEK KICKED OFF OUR. SORRY I'M LOSING MY VOICE. LAST WEEK I WAS ABLE TO JOIN IN THE FIRST DAY OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR OUR FOUR OVER 300 TEACHERS IN OUR MATH WHO ARE GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTING OUR NEW K-8 MATH CURRICULUM. IT WAS AMAZING. IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE ALL OF OUR AMAZING EDUCATORS COMPLETELY ENGAGED IN NOT ONLY THE CURRICULUM ITSELF BUT ALSO GETTING ENERGIZED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES OF WHAT THIS CURRICULUM WILL BRING INTO THE CLASSROOM. I'M JUST SUPER EXCITED TO SEE WHAT WHAT THIS IS GOING TO YIELD FOR OUR STUDENTS. I WAS ABLE TO TALK TO SEVERAL OF OUR TEACHERS AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A GREAT CURRICULUM . THEY LOVE THE INTEGRATION BETWEEN THE THE ONLINE FORMAT AND THE MANIPULATIVES THAT THEY GET TO HAVE AND KIDS CAN GET TO PLAY WITH. SO I JUST LOOK FORWARD TO THE ROLLOUT OF THIS CURRICULUM. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THIS CURRICULUM IN ACTION WHEN I GO AND DO OUR SCHOOL VISITS. AND THEN AS A REMINDER HERE ARE
SOME KEY DATES THAT I WOULD LOVE FOR OUR FAMILIES TO BE AWARE OF. >> SO CLASS SCHEDULES FOR THIS COMING SCHOOL YEAR. SCHOOL YEAR 2526 WILL BE ACCESSIBLE WILL BE AVAILABLE ON PARENT VIEW AND STUDENT VIEW. THIS FRIDAY AUGUST 15TH ON MONDAY AUGUST 18TH WE WILL WELCOME ALL 50,000 STUDENTS BACK INTO OUR SCHOOLS INTO OUR CLASSROOM. >> AND THAT DESERVES A GREAT ROUND OF APPLAUSE. YES, FAMILIES, WE ARE READY FOR YOU STUDENTS. WE ARE READY FOR YOU ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 29TH IS THE LAST DAY OF OUR WAITLIST OFFERS AND ALL OF OUR TRANSFERS. AND THEN FINALLY MONDAY, SEPTEMBER FIRST IS LABOR DAY WHICH MEANS OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR CENTRAL OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED. AND THEN I WANT TO END BY EXTENDING A VERY, VERY WARM WELCOME TO ALL OF OUR STAFF STUDENTS AND FAMILIES AS WE BEGIN THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR. WE'VE HAD I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF WELCOME BACK OUR SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS. I THINK NOW IT'S BEEN A WEEK OR TWO. >> I CAN'T KEEP TRACK ANYMORE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. STUDENT DELEGATES. UM OKAY. AS WE PREPARE TO LAUNCH A NEW SCHOOL YEAR, I'D LIKE TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY JUST TO SHARE A FEW UPDATES ON SOME IMPORTANT WORK AHEAD OF US. EARLIER THIS YEAR THE BOARD RECOGNIZED THE NEED TO STRENGTHEN OUR OPERATION AND BY ADOPTING SHORT TERM METRICS FOCUSED ON FISCAL AND OPERATIONAL HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT.
THESE METRICS WERE DESIGNED TO ENSURE THE SUPERINTENDENT FOLLOWS THROUGH ON CRITICAL AND URGENT PRIORITIES. AS A PART OF THIS WORK WE ESTABLISHED THREE AD HOC COMMITTEES FOCUSED ON PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, PROGRESS MONITORING AND BOARD POLICIES. I'M PLEASED TO SHARE THAT TO THAT. THE WORK OF TWO OF THESE COMMITTEES PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND PROGRESS MONITORING EFFORTS THAT HAVE BEEN IN DEVELOPMENT FOR MONTHS WILL LAUNCH IN THE COMING WEEKS. WE ARE ALSO CREATING A DEDICATED LANDING PAGE ON OUR WEBSITE SO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC CAN FOLLOW THIS IMPORTANT WORK. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN ENGAGING IN CONVERSATIONS TO STRENGTHEN OUR GOVERNANCE PRACTICES, PARTICULARLY AROUND PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURES. LATER THIS MONTH I'LL BE REINTRODUCING FORMAL TRAINING FOR COMMISSIONERS ON OUR BOARD POLICIES. AND WE WILL BE BRINGING FORWARD PROPOSED POLICY REVISIONS TO ENSURE WE ARE CLEAR ABOUT THE STANDARDS TO WHICH WE HOLD OURSELVES AND EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE. THIS WORK IS ABOUT CREATING THE CONDITIONS FOR MORE EFFECTIVE, RESPECTFUL AND FOCUSED DECISION MAKING. LASTLY, BEGINNING TODAY I'LL BE ENFORCING BOARD POLICY 9323. DISCUSSION ON ACTION ITEMS WILL
CONSIST OF ONE ROUND OF QUESTIONS AND OR COMMENTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS. WITH EACH BOARD MEMBER HAVING UP TO THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK AT THE END OF THE ROUND I MAY CHOOSE TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL ROUND OR MOVE DIRECTLY TO A VOTE. THESE MAY SEEM LIKE SMALL PROCEDURAL ADJUSTMENTS BUT THEY ARE CRITICAL TO BUILDING A CULTURE OF TRANSPARENCY, CONSISTENCY AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING ALONGSIDE OUR SUPERINTENDENT STAFF AND FELLOW COMMISSIONERS TO PUT OUR COMMITMENTS INTO PRACTICE. THANK YOU. AND WITH THAT I'LL MOVE TO ITEM E PUBLIC COMMENT TO ALIGN WITH OUR EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE MODEL. PUBLIC COMMENT WILL LAST UNTIL 8 P.M. WITH 8:05 P.M.. WE AIM TO RESPECT STAFF FAMILY AND COMMUNITY TIME BY BEGINNING BUSINESS NO LATER THAN 8:05 P.M.. OUR HOPE IS TO CONDUCT BOARD BUSINESS IN AN EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE AND ACCESSIBLE MANNER DURING REASONABLE HOURS. EACH PARTICIPANT MAY SPEAK FOR UP TO ONE MINUTE. STAFF WILL TAKE THE PARTICIPANT AT THE ONE MINUTE MARK AND ONE MINUTE AND FIVE SECONDS. I HAVE ASKED MR. STEEL TO PLEASE TURN OFF THE MIC AND TRANSITION TO THE NEXT SPEAKER. I ASK MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO
PLEASE RESPECT THE ONE MINUTE LIMIT SO THAT WE CAN HEAR FROM AS MANY SPEAKERS AS POSSIBLE. I ENCOURAGE SPEAKERS WHO ARE SPEAKING ON THE SAME TOPIC TO COLLABORATE AND COMBINE THEIR COMMENTS SO THAT THE BOARD CAN HEAR ALL VIEWPOINTS DURING OUR LIMITED TIME. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT THE BOARD ACCEPTS WRITTEN PUBLIC COMMENTS VIA EMAIL TO THE BOARD IT TO BOARD OFFICE AS OPPOSED TO YOU. WE WILL HEAR FIRST FROM STUDENTS IN PERSON ON AGENDA ITEMS THEN GENERAL PUBLIC IN PERSON ON AGENDA ITEMS FOLLOWED BY STUDENTS IN PERSON ON NON AGENDA AND GENERAL PUBLIC IN-PERSON AND NON AGENDA ITEMS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IN-PERSON PUBLIC COMMENT IS COMPLETE. WE WILL SAVE 15 MINUTES FOR REMOTE PUBLIC COMMENT TAKING COMMENTERS IN THE SAME ORDER AS IN PERSON. AS A REMINDER BOARD RULES AND CALIFORNIA LAW DO NOT ALLOW US TO RESPOND TO COMMENTS OR ATTEMPT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENT TIME. IF APPROPRIATE THE SUPERINTENDENT WILL ASK THAT STAFF FOLLOW UP. SPEAKERS. THANK YOU PRESIDENT KIM. I DO NOT HAVE ANY CARDS THAT ARE STUDENTS IDENTIFIED. ARE THERE ANY STUDENTS IN HERE
WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? I'M GOING TO MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEMS AND IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND LET ME KNOW. FIRST WE'LL HAVE JOHN TRASVINA AND BRANDI MERKLEY THE PODIUM ONE MINUTE EACH. >> GOOD EVENING. I WANT TO COMMEND YOU, SUPERINTENDENT SUE FOR YOUR VERY STRONG AND DEDICATED WORDS ON BEHALF OF OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT SAN FRANCISCO. THIS HAS BEEN A CRITICALLY IMPORTANT PRIORITY FOR ALL KIDS WHATEVER THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS AND ALL FAMILIES. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED LEADERSHIP AND COORDINATING CITY EFFORTS IN THAT AREA. I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU PRESIDENT KIM FOR YOUR ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE IMPORTANT ISSUES REGARDING REGARDING PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO ADDRESS CERTAIN MATTERS GOING FORWARD. FOR EXAMPLE, CURRENTLY THE MINUTES WE CAN'T HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT UNTIL AFTER THE MINUTES ARE APPROVED. I HOPE THAT IN THE FUTURE THAT THE PUBLIC COMING BEFORE THE MINUTES ARE RECONSIDERED
AND ALSO ALIGNING THE IMPORTANCE OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION WITH THE WITH THE RULES RATHER THAN STICKING TO THE RULES THAT MAY THAT MAY HURT PUBLIC PARTICIPATION. SO I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR WORK AHEAD AND HAVING BEEN A PARLIAMENTARIAN IN THE PAST AND WORKING ON THESE ISSUES AND THEN ON BOARD MEETINGS NOW ALMOST 50 YEARS. I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT YOU IN ANY WAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. HI. MY NAME IS BRANDI MARKMAN. I'M A PUBLIC SCHOOL PARENT. THIS IS REGARDING THE ORDER CHART WHICH REFERENCES THE STUDENT OUTCOMES FOCUSED GOVERNANCE MODEL. I'M GOING TO REPEAT SOMETHING I'VE SAID AT OTHER BOARD MEETINGS. MOIRA CALIDA WHO'S THE NATIONAL DIRECTOR OF THE ALLIANCE TO RECLAIM OUR SCHOOLS WRITES ABOUT THIS MODEL WHICH IS FUNDED BY THE ANTI-UNION GATES FOUNDATION. THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THIS MODEL IS TO DISMANTLE PUBLIC EDUCATION THROUGH REALIGNMENT AND TRANSFORMATION, SCHOOL CLOSURES AND PRIVATIZATION AS IT SET UNREALISTIC GOALS BASED
ON STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES AND USES THOSE TEST SCORES TO RECREATE NARRATIVES AROUND WHY STUDENTS WHILE SCHOOLS SHOULD CLOSE. >> ALSO I'D LIKE TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO AN ARTICLE WRITTEN BY TWO UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PROFESSORS UNPROVEN SCHOOL BOARD GOVERNANCE TRAINING IS ALL HAT NO CATTLE REPORTED THE DISTRICT ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS FOR SOFT DISTRICTS DECLINED 12 POINTS A MUCH STEEPER DECLINE THAN THOSE DISTRICTS SAT AND USING THAT MODEL I ASK THAT WE STOP USING THIS UNDEMOCRATIC AND UNPROVEN MODEL AND GO BACK TO MORE PUBLIC COMMENT AS WELL. >> THANK YOU.

WHAT I DID NOT HEAR YOU TALK ABOUT IS OUR LGBTQ COMMUNITY. OUR COMMUNITY IS CURRENTLY JUST AS MUCH UNDER ATTACK AND JUST AS AFRAID ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS FOR US TO BE IN OUR SCHOOLS THIS FALL.

AND I KNOW DENNIS, YOU AND YOUR STAFF WILL CORRECT THAT. AND ALSO OUR MAIN CONCERN IS THAT EVERY CLASSROOM ON MONDAY MORNING THERE IS A CREDENTIALED TEACHER IN EVERY CLASS AND SFE USD TO TEACH OUR 50 50,000 STUDENTS WERE COMING ON BOARD ON MONDAY AND WE'RE ALSO VERY SADDENED WITH THE LOW ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TEST SCORES FOR AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND LATINO STUDENTS AND WE KNOW WE APPRECIATE YOUR WORKING WITH US TO HELP US GET THOSE TEST SCORES IMPROVE FOR THIS COMING SCHOOL YEAR. SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP AND WE'RE ALL LOOKING FORWARD. THE COMMUNITY IS LOOKING FORWARD TO WELCOMING OUR CHILDREN ON MONDAY MORNING. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. MS. MARSHALL WE'LL MOVE ON TO NON AGENDA ITEMS NOW AS WELL. SO IF YOU CARE TO SPEAK TO AN ITEM THAT IS NOT ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND AND CAN THAT BE OF COURSE
I THANK YOU THANK YOU VALERIE CARP. YES THANK YOU. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES. YES. MY NAME IS VALERIE CARP PER MY EMAIL TO THE BOARD YESTERDAY I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT WITHIN 30 DAYS AND AS A FEW AS THE TASK FORCE BE SET UP TO DECIDE HOW TO IMMEDIATELY IMPLEMENT THE MINIMUM INDOOR AIR QUALITY TARGET OF FIVE AIR CHANGES PER HOUR SET BY THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE CDC. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO FALL SHORT OF MINIMUM TARGETS SET BY PUBLIC HEALTH TO THE DETRIMENT OF STUDENT AND TEACHER HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. WHEN THE CDC SAYS LAST WINTER SAW THE BIGGEST FLU WAVE IN 15 YEARS, I'M CONCERNED WHEN WHOOPING COUGH JUMPS FROM ONE CASE PER YEAR TO 84 WITHIN A FEW. ESTY I'M CONCERNED WHEN THE NIH RECOVERS STUDY SAYS THAT LONG COVID IS NOW THE MOST COMMON CHRONIC CHILDHOOD CONDITION.
I'M CONCERNED YOU HAVE A DUTY OF CARE TO PRIORITIZE INDOOR AIR QUALITY AND MEET PUBLIC HEALTH STANDARDS. THANK YOU THAT YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU, LEILA FELLOW MY MOM AND ME. OH, HELLO. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES. OH, HI. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY COMMENT. I AM CALLING JUST TO MAKE A BRIEF COMMENT AND TO CELEBRATE AND ENCOURAGE THE POSSIBILITY OF JV SOCCER IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. IT'S VERY SAD THAT WE ARE AN OUTLIER IN ALL OF THE BAY AREA IN TERMS OF NOT PROVIDING THIS TO OUR STUDENTS. I SENT YOU ALL AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS ORGANIZING EFFORT THAT TEACHERS AND EDUCATORS AND PARENTS WERE WORKING ON LAST YEAR SORRY THAT WAS THE SON OF MY SON WITH A SOCCER BALL IN THE BACKGROUND. A FUNNY OKAY ANYWAY NOT SO FUN IF YOU CAN PLEASE DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. I'M AN EDUCATOR IN THE DISTRICT. I SORT OF FEEL SAD FOR US THAT WE'RE AN OUTLIER IN THIS BAD WAY. WE KNOW THAT OUR ENROLLMENT NUMBERS ARE RELATED TO REVENUE. WE KNOW THAT KIDS NEED TO MOVE. THEY NEED COMMUNITY BUILDING.
THEY NEED TEAMWORK. THEY NEED TO BE A PART OF SOMETHING. >> AND IN THESE VERY LARGE SCHOOLS IT CAN FEEL VERY ISOLATING AS YOU ALL KNOW, THERE'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, 2400 KIDS AND PEOPLE FEEL LOST. IT'S NOT ABOUT MONEY BECAUSE IT'S $45,000 A YEAR AND EDUCATORS AND TEACHERS CAME UP WITH A PLAN TO RAISE THAT MONEY. >> THANK YOU. READ THE ARTICLE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SUSAN. I CAN EVERYBODY HEAR ME? YES. HI. MY NAME IS SUSAN. COME WORK FOR I'M THE PARENT OF AS A FEW AS THE HIGH SCHOOLER ACTUALLY FALLING IN SUPPORT OF EXACTLY WHAT I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT SO I'LL KEEP IT BRIEF SO AS NOT TO REPEAT WHAT SHE JUST SAID. I'M FULL AGREEMENT WITH ALL OF THAT. I JUST WANT TO ADD A MORE PERSONAL PIECE. MY SON HAS BEEN PLAYING ON SCHOOL SOCCER TEAM SINCE KINDERGARTEN. IT IS ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME HE HAS VIRTUALLY NO CHANCE OF GETTING ON A TEAM BECAUSE VARSITY IS THE ONLY OPTION.
LAST YEAR ONLY ONE FRESHMAN GOT ON THE TEAM AND I JUST WANT TO SAY MY DOCTORATE IS IN PUBLIC HEALTH. I KEEP HEARING ALL THE TIME ABOUT THREATS TO OUR KIDS TOO MUCH SOCIAL MEDIA AND SCREEN TIME, NOT ENOUGH EXERCISE, INCREASING ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, THE LONELINESS EPIDEMIC. AND AS A PARENT I'M ALWAYS THINKING LIKE WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS STUFF? AND WE KNOW THAT TEAM SPORTS HAVE SO MANY PROTECTIVE EFFECTS. I DIDN'T REALLY MENTION MANY OF THEM. BUT THANK YOU SUSAN. THAT'S THAT'S YOUR TIME. WE THANK YOU. CALLER WITH THE PHONE NUMBER 415424 TO START 415424. >> YEAH, I CAN HEAR ME OKAY. YES. >> YEAH. HI. THANKS FOR HAVING ME. THE DISTRICT COURT SET ASIDE 14 MILLION FOR OUTDOOR IMPROVEMENTS AND WE HAVE OUR SCHOOLS AND MAKING OUR FIELDS MORE ACCESSIBLE WOULD BE A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION PROMOTING MIDDLE SPORT G B SOCCER PARTICIPATION THIS WOULD
BE A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR US OF UNIFIED AS THE REC AND PARK DISTRICT TO COLLABORATE WITH STUDENT FAMILY AND COMMUNITY BENEFIT IN ADDITION, THESE FIELDS CAN BE USED BY YOUTH AND ADULT LEAGUES WHEN DORMANT THUS CREATING ANOTHER REVENUE STREAM. AND BY THE WAY, THOSE OF US WHO DON'T KNOW THE BIGGEST SPORTING EVENT IN THE WORLD THE WORLD CUP WILL BE HERE NEXT YEAR AND ALL EYES WILL BE ON US. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO SHOWCASE OUR DISTRICT AND OUR CITY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT CONCLUDES OUR ONLINE PARTICIPANTS. WE WILL NOW HAVE OUR YOU OKAY? YOU WE WRAP WITH JANET TILLERY . GOOD AFTERNOON. GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. >> UM SIENNA TILLERY VICE PRESIDENT PARENT PREPARED EDUCATORS WILL BEGIN TODAY EDUCATORS IN SAN FRANCISCO. AND BEFORE I GET STARTED, DR. SU YOU WELCOMED A LOT OF DIFFERENT GROUPS BACK TO SCHOOL FOR THE 2526 SCHOOL YEAR. BUT YOU DID NOT WELCOME BACK
THE PARA EDUCATORS. SO I AM GOING TO SAY FOR OUR PARA EDUCATORS WE WILL HAVE OUR PARA INSTITUTE THIS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL BE RETURNING MONDAY. WELCOME BACK TO OUR PARA EDUCATORS AS WELL. JUST PUT THAT OUT THERE. >> I FEEL LIKE I JUST WAS UP HERE. >> I JUST WANT TO THE LAST TIME THAT I STOOD HERE I WAS FIGHTING FOR OUR PARA EDUCATORS WHO WERE FACING LAYOFFS. >> I HAVE NOT HAD THE CHANCE TO OFFICIALLY THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING TO RESCIND THOSE LAYOFFS. >> TODAY ALL OF OUR PARA EDUCATORS HAVE EITHER RETURNED TO THEIR PREVIOUS PLACEMENTS OR BECAUSE OF CONSOLIDATIONS OR HAVE LANDED AT OTHER SCHOOL SITES TO SUPPORT NEW COMMUNITIES. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THAT OUTCOME. YOU HEARD US AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE THE IMPORTANT WORK WE DO HERE IN S.F. USD. BUT TONIGHT I'M HERE AGAIN WITH A DIFFERENT CRISIS
IMPACTING THE VERY SAME GROUP OF EDUCATORS. AND JUST LIKE BEFORE, THIS IS ABOUT RESPECT, FAIRNESS AND SURVIVAL. >> ON AUGUST 6TH DOZENS OF PARA EDUCATOR IS EXPECTED TO RECEIVE THEIR APPROVED VACATION PAY OUT . >> THEY FOLLOWED THE RULES THEY SUBMITTED THEIR REQUEST AT THE END OF THE LAST SCHOOL YEAR AS THEY DO EVERY YEAR. THEY WERE APPROVED. THEY PLANT THEIR FINANCES AROUND THOSE DATES BUT INSTEAD PAYDAY CAME AND NOTHING HAPPENED. NOT ONLY DID THEY NOT RECEIVE THEIR PAY THEY RECEIVED NO COMMUNICATION FROM F USD ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND WHEN TO EXPECT THEIR MONEY OR WHY THE DELAY OCCURRED. THEY WERE LEFT IN SILENCE A CERTAINTY IF THEY WILL GET PAID AT ALL. >> THIS ISN'T JUST IN ADMINISTRATIVE DELAY OR TECHNICAL HICCUP. THIS IS PEOPLE'S RENT. THIS IS PEOPLE'S FOOD. THIS IS PEOPLE'S MEDICATION. >> AS TO WHAT ABOUT 15 PARA EDUCATORS OF THE PAYROLL OFFICE OF 135 AND F LAST WEEK ONE
MEMBER TOLD ME THAT THEY RECEIVED A 30 DAY NOTICE TO VACATE THEIR APARTMENT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T PAY THEIR RENT. A NEIGHBOR TOLD ME THAT THEY ONLY HAD $8 LEFT IN THEIR ACCOUNT AND COULDN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THEIR PRESCRIPTIONS. THESE ARE THE LOWEST PAID EMPLOYEES OF SFE WITH STE. THEY LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK. THEY DID EVERYTHING RIGHT AND THEY WERE FAILED. >> IF THERE IS A NEW A NEW PROCESS FOR REQUESTING A VACATION PAYOUT IT WAS NEVER COMMUNICATED TO OUR MEMBERS. >> IF THERE WAS A PAYROLL ISSUE IT WAS NEVER COMMUNICATED TO OUR UNION. WE WERE LEFT ANSWERING DESPERATE CALLS FROM MEMBERS WITH NO INFORMATION TO GIVE BECAUSE SFE WAS DE CHOSE SILENCE. >> EVEN THE COMMUNICATION I DID COME OUT LAST FRIDAY WAS VAGUE ENOUGH THAT MANY ASSUMED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE THEIR FUNDS IMMEDIATELY. INSTEAD THEIR PAY STUBS SHOW AN AUGUST 12TH POSTING MEANING THEY WOULDN'T ACTUALLY HAVE THEIR MONEY UNTIL TODAY.
THE LACK OF CLARITY ONLY DEEPENED THE SENSE OF DISRESPECT AND DISREGARD FOR MANY OF US. THIS IS TRIGGERING WE WE REMEMBER THE CHAOS OF WHEN THEN POWER WAS FIRST INTRODUCED. >> WE HOPE THAT THOSE MISTAKES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. WE UNDERSTOOD. WE UNDERSTAND THAT TRANSITIONS DO BRING HICCUPS BUT WHEN THE PAY OF OUR MOST VULNERABLE EMPLOYEES IS AT STAKE, THERE'S NO MARGIN FOR ERROR. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, TIMELY COMMUNICATION IS NOT OPTIONAL. >> IT IS THE MINIMAL RESPECT OWED TO THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP OUR CLASSROOMS RUNNING. WE HAVE ANOTHER VACATION PAYOUT SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 20TH. MANY PARA EDUCATORS ARE EXPECTING THAT PAYMENT WILL GET IT ON TIME. >> OR WILL WE BE BACK HERE AGAIN IN CRISIS MODE? >> WE HAVE TIME TO GET IT
RIGHT. >> WE HAVE TIME TO GET IT RIGHT RIGHT NOW. GET IN FRONT OF IT TO PLAN TO COMMUNICATE. >> USF IS ALWAYS WILLING TO BE A TOP PARTNER TO PREVENT THESE ISSUES BEFORE THEY HAPPEN OR TO WORK THROUGH THEM TOGETHER WHEN THEY DO. BUT THAT REQUIRES THAT YOU THE DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TO BE WILLING TO PARTICIPATE IN OPEN PROACTIVE COMMUNICATION. OUR ETHICS TRANSPARENCY COMMUNICATE TO EVERY IMPACTED EMPLOYEE EXACTLY WHEN THEY WILL GET PAID. PREVENTION IDENTIFY AND FIX TECHNICAL OR PROCEDURAL GAPS THAT CAUSED THE DELAYS. COLLABORATION COMMITS MEETING WITH USF TO ENSURE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A REPEAT OF THIS PROBLEM. RESPECT CHEETAH PARA EDUCATORS AS ESSENTIAL WORKERS WHOSE LIVELIHOODS MATTER. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR SPECIAL TREATMENT. WE'RE ASKING FOR FAIRNESS. WE'RE ASKING FOR WHAT WAS PROMISED, WHAT WAS EARNED AND WHAT WAS APPROVED. WHEN YOU DELAY PAY FOR PARA EDUCATORS YOU'RE NOT JUST
DELAYING A DEPOSIT. YOU'RE TAKING AWAY FOOD, HOUSING AND SECURITY FROM THOSE PEOPLE WHO CARE FOR S.F. USDA'S MOST VALUABLE PEOPLE. OUR STUDENTS WE CANNOT BUILD A DISTRICT BASED ON EQUALITY WHILE TREATING OUR LOWEST PAID WORKERS AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. PLEASE CHOOSE TO DO THE RIGHT THING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND PRESIDENT KIM THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT THIS EVENING. THANK YOU TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, OUR LABOR PARTNERS, MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS AND EXPERIENCES WITH US TODAY. APPRECIATE YOUR PERSPECTIVE AND EXPERIENCES. THANK YOU. THE SUPERINTENDENT AND HER TEAM ARE TASKED WITH PROVIDING A DRAFT OF EACH AGENDA 12 DAYS IN ADVANCE. ONCE THAT DRAFT AGENDA IS MADE PUBLIC ON OUR WEBSITE, BOARD MEMBERS HAVE MADE A COMMITMENT TO SUBMIT CLARIFYING TACTICAL QUESTIONS.
AND STAFF HAVE MADE A COMMITMENT TO RESPOND TO THOSE QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE OF EACH BOARD MEETING. THIS Q&A IS LINKED INTO EACH BOARD AGENDA ON BOARD DOCS AND WE INVITE THE PUBLIC TO REVIEW THOSE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ALONGSIDE OUR DISCUSSIONS TODAY. ADDITIONALLY, TO CREATE MORE SPACE FOCUSED ON STUDENT OUTCOMES WE WILL BE MOVING MOST OF OUR ITEMS TO CONSENT CALENDAR AND IDENTIFYING ONLY OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY AGENDA ITEMS TO DISCUSS. BOARD MEMBERS ARE REMINDED NOT TO RESTATE QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY STAFF IN ADVANCE BUT INSTEAD TO BRING FORWARD STRATEGIC QUESTIONS THAT ALLOW US TO BETTER UNDERSTAND OUR PROGRESS TOWARDS OUR GOALS AND THE UNDERLYING STRATEGIES SO THAT WE CAN BE BETTER INFORMED IN OUR DECISION MAKING AND PARTNER WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT AS WE HOLD HER ACCOUNTABLE. MOVING TO ITEM F ADVISORY COUNCIL ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORTS IN APPOINTMENTS. ITEM ONE APPROVAL OF APPOINTMENTS TO THE CHILD CARE PLANNING AND ADVISORY COUNCIL. CAN I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND PLEASE? SOME OF THE SECOND I TURN TO THE SUPERINTENDENT TO READ THIS INTO THE RECORD. THANK YOU PRESIDENT KIM.
THE CHILD CARE PLANNING AND SORRY THE CHILD CARE PLANNING AND ADVISORY COUNCIL CPS ASSESSES LOCAL EARLY EDUCATION IN EARLY CHILD CARE AND EDUCATION FUNDS IN SAN FRANCISCO INCLUDING DOING ANALYSIS ON SUPPLY AND DEMAND AND COMPARISONS REGARDING CHILD CARE OPTIONS. IT IS A BODY THAT IS MANDATED BY THE STATE AND IS LED OVER ON THE CITY SIDE UNDER THE DEPARTMENT OF EARLY CHILDHOOD. HALF OF CPS MEMBERS ARE APPOINTED BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION FOR A THREE YEAR TERM WITH A POSSIBLE ONE YEAR ONE TERM RENEWAL. SO WE ARE MOVING FORWARD FOR RECOMMENDATIONS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN VETTED THROUGH OUR EARLY ED DEPARTMENT AND THEIR PARTNERS AND WE ARE SEEKING APPROVAL FOR THESE APPOINTMENTS . ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON THE BOARD? COMMISSIONER RAY MR. STEELE CAN YOU PUT ON THREE MINUTES PLEASE? I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT BRIEF PRESENTATION. I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT
THIS AND I KNOW THAT THERE IS A TIME LIMIT ON THAT SO I WANTED TO RETURN TO THE QUESTIONS I ASKED IN THE Q&A. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE ABLE TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, SUPERINTENDENT. SO IF THERE'S SOMEBODY ELSE HERE WHO CAN BUT I ASKED SEVERAL QUESTIONS AND THERE WAS SIMPLY A VERY BRIEF RESPONSE WHICH I ESSENTIALLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR ROLE IS AS THE BOARD IN THIS. THE ONLY RESPONSE TO THE VARIOUS QUESTIONS I ANSWERED IS THAT C PAC APPOINTMENTS ARE GIVEN TO US FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF EARLY CHILDHOOD WITH THE CITY THE C PAC MEMBERS CHOOSE AN ELECTED ALL MEMBERS BUT HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH US OF USED TO ALSO SEEK APPROVAL. I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR ROLE IS IN THE SELECTION PROCESS. YOU KNOW AS WELL AS GET ANSWERS IF POSSIBLE TO THE QUESTIONS THAT I ASKED PREVIOUS LEE BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT THIS VERY BRIEF RESPONSE IS RESPONSIVE TO MY QUESTIONS EVEN TO THE POINT OF SPECIFIC THINGS IN ONE OF THESE CASES I DO NOT KNOW ANY OF THESE FOLKS. I HAVE NO OPINION ON THEM.
BUT THE DESCRIPTION STATES THAT ONE OF THESE FOLKS THAT MR. MARK TAO IS A REAPPOINTMENT BUT ON HIS APPLICATION HE CHECKED NO TO THE QUESTION HAVE YOU ATTENDED ANY MEETINGS OF THE BODY TO WHICH YOU'RE APPLYING? SO IT'S VERY HARD FOR ME TO VOTE ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHEN I DON'T GET ANSWERS AND WHEN I CAN SEE THAT SOMEBODY IS LABELED AS SOMETHING AND IF HE'S NEVER ATTENDED A MEETING. SO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR YOUR RESPONSES. THANK YOU. >> ACTUALLY I'M GOING TO CALL ON ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT DR. CHRISTY HERRERA TO HELP ME WITH THAT THAT RESPONSE. CHAIR CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME? YES, WE CAN. HI. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. YES. SO THE C PAC IS A BODY THAT CONSISTS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND IN PAST YEARS WE THE SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD MEMBERS CAN APPROVE UP TO FOUR DIFFERENT APPOINTMENTS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS THAT THE C PAC HAS BEEN IN PLACE. THE OTHER POSITIONS ARE APPOINTED BY DC THE DEPARTMENT
OF EARLY CHILDHOOD. >> I THINK WHEN YOU SENT IN THE QUESTIONS I WAS OUT OF TOWN SO I'M NOT SURE I SAW WHAT THOSE QUESTIONS WERE SPECIFICALLY SO IF YOU COULD ASK THEM I CAN ANSWER THEM HERE. >> THEY'RE ALL IN MY Q&A DOCUMENT. I'M NOT SURE I COULD READ THEM ALL IN 37 SECONDS. WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO TRY? OH, NO PROBLEM. YOU KNOW WHAT I COULD DO THOUGH AS WELL AS I COULD TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE QUESTIONS AND RESPOND TO THEM. OKAY. I ALSO. OH, GO AHEAD. I'M SORRY. I KNOW MY TIME IS BEING COUNTED DOWN EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE PEOPLE RESPONDING. IT'S NOT JUST ME ASKING THESE QUESTIONS. YEAH, SORRY. AND THIS IS SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE CLARIFIED WITH MR. STEELE. WE CAN PAUSE IT WHILE STAFF ARE ANSWERING QUESTIONS. IT'S JUST FOR COMMISSIONER TIME . OKAY. SURE. A POINT OF PROCESS OF COMMISSIONERS. YOU CAN JUST TAKE ALL YOUR QUESTIONS OUT AND TRY TO USE AS MUCH OF THE THREE MINUTES AS POSSIBLE WHILE THE TIME IS COMING DOWN. BUT YES, IF WE CAN PAUSE IT WHILE QUESTIONS ARE BEING ANSWERED THAT'D BE GREAT. OKAY.
FINISH UP WHEN ONE MORE MINUTE ON BECAUSE YEAH SURE. YEAH. >> ALL RIGHT. DO YOU WANT ME TO READ THE QUESTIONS? SURE. WHATEVER. I'M NOT SURE. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. SO MY FIRST QUESTION WAS WHO REVIEWS THE APPLICATIONS AND MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CPAC MEMBERSHIP? MY SECOND QUESTION WAS WHAT ARE THE RULES OR PRACTICES AS OF USDA USES TO SELECT MEMBERS OF CPAC? PLEASE PROVIDE A DESCRIPTION OR LINK FOR THE RULES OR PRACTICES. IN ADDITION, ARE THERE RULES OR PRACTICES? ARE THESE THE SAME FOR ADVISORY COMMITTEES OR COUNSEL THROUGHOUT THE SELF-IMPOSED? MY NEXT QUESTION WAS WHAT WAS THE BOARD WHAT IS THE BOARD'S ROLE IN THE CPAC SELECTION PROCESS? MY NEXT QUESTION WAS THE ONE ABOUT MR. MARK TAO WHO WAS LISTED AS A REAPPOINTMENT AND THE DESCRIPTION BUT IN HIS APPLICATION HE CHECKED NO TO THE QUESTION WHETHER HE'D ATTENDED ANY MEETINGS. SO I ASKED IF THERE WAS A MISTAKE THERE OR SOME OTHER ISSUE. AND THEN I WAS ASKING ABOUT WHETHER THE SAME PERSON CAN BE ON MULTIPLE DISTRICT ADVISORY
BOARDS AT ONCE AND THERE WAS SOME ADDITIONS IN THAT REGARD. I WOULD LIKE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR ROLE IS AND WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING AT WHEN WE'RE ASKED TO VOTE ON THINGS. >> THANK YOU. I'M SURE. ABSOLUTELY. SO THE C PAC MEMBERS ARE APPROVED THROUGH THEIR OWN BODY SO THEY'RE A BODY OF PEOPLE WHO PUT NAMES FORWARD. SO THE C PAC TEAM, THE CURRENT MEMBERS ARE THE ONES WHO VET THE NEW APPOINTEES. THEY THEN SEND US THE DOCUMENTATION. THERE'S A REQUIREMENT ON C PAC WHERE THERE HAS TO BE CHILD CARE PROVIDERS. IT HAS TO BE A COMMUNITY MEMBER. THERE HAS TO BE A PUBLIC REPRESENTATIVE OR THEY HAVE THEIR OWN BOARD AND OPERATIONS WITHIN THE C PAC. SO IT'S A PART OF THE MONIES THAT COME IN THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF EARLY CHILDHOOD WHERE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A BODY OF PEOPLE THAT REPRESENT EARLY ED ACROSS THE CITY. A PART OF THAT AGREEMENT WAS THAT SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED
SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS ALLOWED TO VOTE ON FOUR OF THOSE MEMBERS. IN THE PAST DIFFERENT COMMISSIONERS HAVE RECOMMENDED DIFFERENT MEMBERS TO BE A PART OF THE COMMITTEE. SOMETIMES THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE PRESENTED FROM THEIR OWN COMMITTEE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN VOLUNTEERING OR COMING TO THE BOARD MEETINGS THAT THEY HAVE EVERY THE FIRST WEDNESDAY OF EVERY MONTH. AS FAR AS DOES IT FOLLOW THE SAME RULES AS COMMISSIONS WITHIN THE CITY? YES IT DOES. SO I'M TRYING TO THINK IF I MISSED ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU'D ASKED ME SPECIFICALLY I DON'T KNOW WHY MARK SELECTED THAT HE IS A REAPPOINTMENT SO THAT MIGHT JUST HAVE BEEN AN ERROR ON HIS APPLICATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSES IF YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE WRITTEN RESPONSES SO THEY CAN I GUESS IF THAT'S POSSIBLE TO FULLY ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS TO GO INTO THE RECORD THAT WOULD BE GREAT. I JUST WHEN WE DO THESE Q&A I LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC HAS FULL ACCESS TO ALL THE INFORMATION. THANK YOU.
ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER FISHER WELL SO FIRST OF ALL I JUST WANTED TO ANYONE WHO IS BEING REAPPOINTED OR ANYONE WHO SERVES ON THIS BODY I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU. AS WE KNOW, EARLY ED IS SO CRITICALLY IMPORTANT AND I DO ACTUALLY KNOW QUITE A FEW OF THE PEOPLE WHO SERVE ON THIS THIS COUNCIL AND THEY ARE ALL HIGHLY ENGAGED IN THE COMMUNITY. SO AND IT'S A REALLY DIVERSE GROUP OF FOLKS WHO WHO SERVE AND GIVE FREELY OF THEIR TIME AT A $0 PAY GRADE. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PROVIDING YOUR EXPERTISE OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND LOOKING RIGHT NOW AT THE CPAC WEBSITE I ACTUALLY SEE THAT MR. TAO IS THE TREASURER. SO I WOULD NOT ASSUME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE A TREASURER WHO HAS NEVER ATTENDED ANY MEETINGS SO HOPEFULLY THAT IS JUST AN OVERSIGHT IN THE IN THE ACTUAL APPLICATION. BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE APPOINTEES AND RE APPOINTEES AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS
? SEEING NONE. ROLL CALL VOTE PLEASE MISS LANA . STUDENT DELEGATE ONE YEAH. ARE YOU GUYS STILL THERE? YEAH, I'M HERE. YES. AS STUDENT DELEGATE CRUZ. YES. OKAY. COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER. YES. COMMISSIONER FISCHER. YES. COMMISSIONER GUPTA. YES. VICE PRESIDENT HILL. YES. COMMISSIONER RAY. YES. COMMISSIONER WISEMAN. WARD. YES. AND PRESIDENT KENNEDY? >> YES SIR. NICE. MOVING TO ITEM G DISCUSSION ITEMS JUST REMINDER BOARD POLICY 9323 DOES NOT APPLY TO DISCUSSION ITEMS THAT ONLY APPLIES TO ACTIONS. THAT BEING SAID I'M GOING TO STILL FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE THREE MINUTE STRUCTURE AND WE'LL JUST CONTINUE ON WITH THAT GENERAL FRAMEWORK. ITEM ONE FISCAL AND OPERATIONAL UPDATE I CALL ON THE SUPERINTENDENT TO INTRODUCE THIS ITEM. >> THANK YOU PRESIDENT KIM.
I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE TWO PEOPLE AND CALL TWO PEOPLE TO TO THE DAIS. FIRST IS OUR NEW DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF BUSINESS SERVICES CHRIS MOUNT BENITEZ. HE IS GOING TO BE ON OUR SCREEN HERE AND THEN MERVIN TULIO, OUR HEAD OF OF ALL THINGS OPERATIONS IN FRONT LINE AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME. I'M GOING TO START OFF WITH WITH DEPUTY SUPE MOUNT BENITEZ AND WHO WILL GIVE US A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF OUR BUDGET STATUS AND WHERE WE ARE NOW AND THEN FROM THERE WILL HAND IT OVER TO MR. TRUJILLO TO SHARE WITH YOU THE UPDATES ON THE SYSTEM TRANSITION. GREAT. THANK YOU. SUPERINTENDENT TWO. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS AND COMMUNITY AND PERSONAL MINUTES. NICE TO AT LEAST VIRTUALLY MEET YOU ALL. JUST SOME SOME FISCAL UPDATES OVER THE PAST WEEK. LAST WEEK WE WERE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THE THREE YEARS OF BACKLOGGED AUDIT REQUESTS FROM THE STATE. WE WERE ABLE TO RESPOND TO ALL THREE YEARS. OF COURSE THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE WON'T BE FURTHER FOLLOW UP. HOWEVER, WE WERE ABLE TO FINALLY GET THOSE RESPONSES LOGGED AND ACCEPTED
AND ACKNOWLEDGED BY CDC. IN ADDITION YOU MIGHT SEE A LETTER LIKELY NOT BUT YOU MIGHT. OUR AUDITOR FOR FISCAL YEAR 24 WAS NOTICED BY CDC AS WELL AS THE STATE COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE THAT THE AUDIT WAS NONRESPONSIVE. THEY SUBMITTED THE THE INCORRECT FINAL DATA FILES. HOWEVER, THAT'S NOT A CORRECTION FOR US TO MAKE. IT'S ONE FOR OUR AUDITOR TO MAKE. THEY HAVE MADE THAT CORRECTION WHICH IS ALSO ALREADY BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED AND PROCESSED. SO AT THIS POINT ALL AUDIT ITEMS OUTSTANDING ON ITEMS ARE RESPONDED TO THEM. WHY WAIT FOR FURTHER FOLLOW UP? ADDITIONALLY ALL ITEMS OF HANGING CDC REQUESTS AS FAR AS RESPONSES FROM THE DISTRICT HAVE ALSO BEEN RESPONDED TO. IT IS AN ONGOING PROCESS SO THEY WILL CONTINUE TO COME IN BUT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CLEAN UP AND SORT OF SET A RESPONSE SYSTEM WITH WITH CDC. THEY'VE BEEN THEY'VE BEEN GOOD PARTNERS. THEY HAVE THEY HAVE RECEIVED THEM AND THAT WILL BE ONGOING AND WE'LL BE MUCH MORE PROACTIVE IN THE RESPONSE TO THAT.
AND THE LAST ITEM WHICH IS GREAT AS WELL IS SOME OF THE LONG STANDING VACANT POSITIONS THAT WE NEED TO SUCCESSFULLY RUN OUR OPERATIONS AND FINANCE SYSTEMS HAVE ALSO BEEN POSTED. THE HEAD OF OPERATIONS WILL BE POSTED SOME TIME LATER THIS WEEK OR EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE POSITION HAS BEEN VACANT FOR SOME TIME AS WELL AS OUR CFO IS POSTED AND THE DIRECTOR OF POSITION CONTROL OF COURSE POSITION CONTROL BEING ONE OF THE PRIMARY SYSTEMS THAT HAS BEEN LACKING IN SAN FRANCISCO. THAT HAS BEEN POINTED OUT A NUMBER OF TIMES WE'VE FINALLY GOTTEN THAT POSITION POSTED AS WELL AS AN INTERNAL AUDITOR WORKING FOR THE COUNTY TO GO THROUGH AND MAKE SURE THAT OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEMS ARE BEING AUDITED AND THAT INTERNALLY WE ARE POINTING OUT FLAWS OR DISCREPANCIES THAT WE CAN CORRECT BEFORE THEY BECOME A PROBLEM. SO SOME SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS OVER THE PAST WEEK. I KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT MORE WORK TO DO AND WE LOOK FORWARD
TO FILLING POSITIONS AND GETTING THINGS MOVING AS WELL AS CONTINUING TO ASSIST WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW SYSTEMS. >> THAT WAS WAS BEGUN WHEN I WHEN I ARRIVED. OKAY. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. IRENE TRUJILLO HAD A STAFF SO HERE WE ARE. WE'RE LIVE AND LET ME START WITH THE PRESENTATION GOING START TALKING. LET'S GO BACK. SO GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. LET'S CONTINUE PLEASE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. YEAH. SO FIRST AND FOREMOST BEFORE WE START EVERYONE'S REALLY TIRED. A FEW OF THE NAMES THAT ARE YOU SHOULD BE THANKING WHO ARE HERE ARE IN THIS LIST THAT WE HAVE WAY MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTIVELY WORKING DAY IN, DAY OUT. I WAS ATTENTIVELY PAYING ATTENTION TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT. NOTHING THAT WAS SAID IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WOULD NOT. NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO AND THAT WE TAKE TO HEART. IT IS PERSONALLY FRUSTRATING AND CHALLENGING BECAUSE WE'RE WE ONE THAT CUTS ALL THE ISSUES SO BUT THIS IS A PART OF THE GROUP THAT WE OWE A LOT OF
GRATITUDE TO FOR THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE. NEXT SLIDE. AGAIN ALWAYS AN EXPLANATION FRONTLINE THEY DO OUR FINANCE, OUR PAYROLL. THEY DO ALL OF OUR BUDGET. RED ROVER THAT'S OUR PEOPLE ONBOARDING TIMEKEEPING. NEXT SLIDE. OKAY. SO UP TO NOW WE HAVE DONE THREE MAJOR PAYROLL CYCLES. YOU CAN SEE HERE OUR APPROXIMATE HEAD COUNTS FOR THE FIRST BI WEEKLY WAS 1150. WE ENDED UP WITH 1434 ACTUAL CHECKS THAT WERE ISSUED AND USING THE FUNCTIONALITY OF FRONTLINE. 137 TICKETS WERE PRINTED AS MANUALS. RIGHT. AGAIN BECAUSE IF WE DON'T TELL OUR STORY OTHERS WILL. I WILL REMIND YOU THAT THAT LITTLE NUMBER RIGHT THERE, THAT COLUMN AT THE WAS AN IMPULSIVE ABILITY WHEN WE WERE AT STABILIZER, THE FIRST PAYROLL WE COULD NOT PRINT THESE OFF CYCLE CHECKS. THE SYSTEM CAN DO IT AND IT DOES IT AND I'LL JUST SHOW YOU THE NEXT SLIDE WHY WE HAD TO PRINT. WE DID A MONTHLY 350 AND THAT'LL BE A LITTLE BIT
LARGER. THERE'S A NEW ELEMENT A VERY COMMON IN OTHER DISTRICTS THIS CERTIFICATED STUB AN EXTRA PAY EXCEPT DIRECTOR OF PAYROLL MS. HARRIS WAS HERE. WE'VE HAD A LONG ARGUING ABOUT WHAT TO CALL THIS PAYROLL. WE CALL IT SUPPLEMENTARY PAYROLL BUT THIS IS BASICALLY FOR CERTIFICATED AND EXTRA TIME IN MOST DISTRICTS YOU GET PAID ON THE FIFTH OR THE 10TH OF THE MONTH. IT'S A SEPARATE PAY CYCLE. SO IT'S ACTUALLY NOW PART OF OUR NEW STRUCTURE. SO WE ISSUED THAT ONE IN FRONTLINE AS WELL. WHAT'S COMING UP IS OUR BIG BI WEEKLY OF ABOUT 2900 AND OUR MONTHLY AND WE ARE ALL ACTIVELY WORKING ON MAKING SURE THAT WE MITIGATE AS MANY OF THE ISSUES AS POSSIBLE. NEXT SLIDE. SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE THEMES THAT I CAN READ MY OWN SOME OF THE THEMES THAT WE IDENTIFIED. WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THEM. I THINK SOME OF THEM WERE HIGHLIGHTED TODAY IN THE PUBLIC COMMENT DATA MISMATCHES REALIGNMENT TO CONTRACT LANGUAGE OR QUITE FRANKLY AS IDENTIFYING A LONG STANDING PRACTICE OF SOMETHING THAT WAS
DONE A PARTICULAR WAY THAT WE WERE BLINDSIDED BY. WE QUICKLY ADAPTED AND AS OF RIGHT NOW I THINK THERE'S ACTIVE MITIGATIONS FOR MOST OF THESE THINGS. SOME THINGS YOU CAN SEE ON THE MITIGATION IS IN THE MEDIA RESULT IMMEDIATE FIX SOME IS A LONG TERM KIND OF PUT ON THE PARKING LOT FOR HOW WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS IN THE FUTURE. I THINK THE BIGGEST ISSUE IN MY OPINION IS THE FACT THAT WE'RE STILL USING TWO SYSTEMS. WE'RE STILL FINISHING SUMMER PAY IN SAP. THERE IS A PAY FROM SAP ON THE 29TH AND THAT IS THIS CREATING CONFUSION. PEOPLE PUT IN TIME ON ONE SYSTEM THEN THE OTHER THIS WILL END. WE WILL STOP USING THAT SAP FOR A SIGNIFICANT PAYROLL. WE MAY STILL DO OFFSITE THOSE FROM SAP IN THE FUTURE BUT NOT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT THAT LET ME FIRST SAY THAT IS NOT AN EXCUSE. THAT IS NOT TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT AND THE HURT. I TALKED TO TIANA I WAS WITH HER ON FRIDAY LATE INTO THE
NIGHT ADDRESSING THIS. WE ALL DEEPLY CARE AND UNDERSTAND AND PERSONALLY AS A CLASSIFIED INDIVIDUAL IT I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND BUT THIS WILL END AS AP DOES CONTINUE TO BRING CONFUSION AND ITS FUNCTIONALITY IS CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE FOR US. SO FRONTLINE WORKS WHEN ITS PROGRAM CORRECTLY. NEXT SLIDE. PART OF THE OTHER ISSUE THAT WE'VE HAD IS KEEPING TO IMPROVE THE FUNCTIONALITY OF RED ROVER AND SO WE'VE HAD TO DO A LOT OF COMMUNICATIONS TO GET IT JUST RIGHT. THAT'S A LOT TO TRACK. THAT'S A LOT TO MANAGE. I RECOGNIZE I THINK WE'VE WE'VE GOTTEN TO A STABLE SPACE OF EXPLAINING HOW RED ROVER WORKS IF THINGS. AGAIN, THE GREAT THING ABOUT RED ROVER IS IT CAN ADAPT BUT I RECOGNIZE A LOT OF THOSE CHANGES WAS TOO MUCH INFORMATION COMING IN TO KEEP TRACK OF. BUT YOU CAN SEE WE'RE ACTIVELY TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF THE ISSUES AND COURSE CORRECT. NEXT SLIDE. AND AGAIN WE HAVE A SYSTEM AND ECOSYSTEM FOR SUPPORT. WE HAVE AN SLA AGREEMENT THAT IF YOU FIND YOUR PAY IS INCORRECT, WE WANT TO MAKE IT RIGHT WITHIN 48 HOURS THERE IS AN EMPLOYEE PORTAL, THERE IS A CALL CENTER THAT HAS STAFF AND WE HAD OUR COMMAND CENTER OR CASE MANAGEMENT TEAM AFTER
EVERY PAYROLL THERE I WAS PERSONALLY THERE WE ARE THERE FROM IN THE MORNING TILL 6 P.M. AND WE DON'T LEAVE UNTIL EVERYONE IS SERVED. WE ARE PREPARING OUR STORY IN OUR YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE TERM ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION TO HAVE A LARGER TEAM FOR THE NEXT TWO PAYROLL CYCLES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN MANAGE IF THERE IS AN INCREASE OF TICKETS. NEXT SLIDE. THIS IS AS OF THE DATE THAT THIS WAS POSTED. YOU COULD SEE A GLIMPSE OF OUR REALITY. YOU KNOW THERE WERE 762 TICKETS RELATED TO FRONTLINE OR RED ROVER. YOU CAN SEE 628 WERE FIXED. 152 AT THAT POINT REMAIN TO BE PATCHED. IN TERMS OF COMPLEXITY OF TICKETS THERE ISN'T MUCH COMPLEXITY RIGHT? WHEREAS IN THE OLD SYSTEM YOU GAVE SOMEONE A PAY AND THERE ARE FOUR THREE BE STOP REPORTING YOU CHANGE THEIR SALARY SCHEDULE AND THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY WAS TAXED INCORRECTLY OR IT WAS DEDUCTED INCORRECTLY.
THAT'S NOT THE CASE. THIS NOW IF I SHOWED YOU IN THE NEXT SLIDE COMPARING APPLES TO APPLES I TRY TO BE FAIR. YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS WAS MONTH ONE OF SAP THE BEGINNING PART NOT THE END OF THE NUMBER OF TICKETS THAT WERE BEING ACCUMULATED WHEN SAP WAS TURNED ON. SO AGAIN I SHOW YOU THESE TWO SLIDES TO PROVIDE CONTEXT NOT IN ANY WAY TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT THAT EVEN ONE TICKET IS TOO MANY BUT COMPARED TO WHERE WE WERE WITH THE OLD SYSTEM AND THE SYSTEM IT'S A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE. NEXT SLIDE WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE FIRST AND THEY JUST AS INTERPHASE THERE WERE ACTUALLY WORKING ON THOSE AS I REMIND YOU THESE WERE NOT THESE ARE CRITICAL. WE NEVER THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO GET THEM READY FOR THE GO LIVE. WE ALMOST DID. WE'RE NOT THERE YET. WE'RE ACTIVELY WORKING ON THEM. KATHY HOPKINS WAS HERE AS WELL KEEPS ON WORKING ON THIS SO THAT'S STILL IN PROGRESS. NEXT SLIDE. SO WHERE DO WE SEE AREAS OF GROWTH, ALL THE PAY ISSUES OR
MISSING PAY THAT I MENTIONED? >> YOU HEARD FROM FOLKS ABOUT BOTH SITE LEADERS. MY JOB HAS ALWAYS BEEN I BELIEVE TO LET TEACHERS TEACH AND PRINCIPALS LEAD. SO IT PAINS ME WHEN I HEAR THAT THEY ARE NOT GETTING WHAT THEY NEED. WE WORK VERY HARD TO DO THAT. SO PROVIDING BETTER TRAINING AND JOB AIDES IS IMPORTANT. I HEARD THAT ABOUT RED ROVER. WE'RE WORKING ON THAT. PEOPLE ARE REALLY WARY ABOUT THEIR BALANCES OF VACATION AND TIME OFF WHEN THE PREVIOUS IMPLEMENTATION AS I HEAR I WAS IN HERE FOR THAT. A LOT OF THAT INFORMATION GOT LOST IN THE TRANSLATION TRANSLATION, TRANSLATION OR TRANSLATION. IT WON'T GET LOST HERE BUT IT'S STILL NOT FULLY VISIBLE IN THE NEW SYSTEM WE'RE RECONCILING. AGAIN, CONFUSION AMONG END USERS AS WE KEEP IMPROVING RED ROVER RIGHT? SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE WE SHOWED A APP AND THEN WE CHANGE THE FUNCTIONALITY SO THE BUTTONS ARE IN DIFFERENT PLACES COMPLETELY RECOGNIZE THAT IS FRUSTRATING RIGHT? BUT WE CAN LEAVE IT THE WAY IT WAS SO WE HAVE TO KEEP IMPROVING IT AND THEN WE HAVE
SOME PEOPLE A LOT OF CHANGES HAPPEN IN PERSONNEL SO INCORRECT OR MISSING SUPERVISORS FOR SOME EMPLOYEES THAT DID IMPACT THEIR APPROVAL OF TIMESHEETS. SO WE'RE ACTIVELY WORKING ON THAT. I SAW AN EMAIL TODAY WHERE H.R. IS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN REVIEWING ALL OF OUR MISSING EMPLOYEES WHO DON'T HAVE A CORRESPONDING SUPERVISOR SO THAT CAN HAPPEN. SO IN GENERAL I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU TO GIVE IT A GRADE IF YOU WANT TO GIVE THIS A GRADE BUT WE'RE MOVING ALONG COMPARED TO THE SAP IMPLEMENTATION WE LEVERAGE ALL THOSE HARD LESSONS LEARNED AND TRY TO APPLY THEM TO MITIGATE. TODAY IS A PERFECT IT IS NOT COMMISSIONERS IS IT BETTER? I BELIEVE IT IS. ONE TICKET IS TOO MANY TICKETS AND WE ARE WORKING REALLY HARD TO PREVENT THAT. THAT'S A THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'RE HERE IN I WILL OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION AND WE'LL FOLLOW THAT KIND OF THREE MINUTE LIMIT AND WE'LL JUST CONTINUE TO DO A ROUND ROBIN HERE WITH SOMEONE LIKE TO KICK US OFF. THANK YOU. GO FOR IT. COMMISSIONER FISHER SURE.
SO FIRST OF ALL MR. TRUJILLO AND THE TEAM EVERYONE WHO IS RECOGNIZED ON SLIDE TWO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK THE WEEKEND HOURS, THE EVERYTHING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND HAVING ATTENDED A LITTLE BIT OF THE ALL ADMIN INSTITUTE IT WAS ALSO GREAT TO SEE THE THE SUPPORT STAFF THERE READY AND WILLING ALL CAMPED OUT IN THE CAFETERIA WANTING TO SUPPORT PROVIDE ON STAFF ON SITE SUPPORT TO ADMINISTRATORS THERE TOO SO JUST THANK YOU BUT THAT ALSO LEADS INTO ONE OF MY QUESTIONS WE DID HEAR A LOT AND HAVE BEEN HEARING AND SOME OF US OUTSIDE OF THIS MEETING FROM OUR ADMINISTRATORS WHO ARE STRESSED YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO SUPPORT THEIR STAFF AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU ACKNOWLEDGING THAT TONIGHT AS PART OF YOUR PRESENTATION. >> BUT BUT WHAT IS THE PLAN TO GET THEM THE TRAINING AND THE SUPPORT? I ALSO APPRECIATE THE RECOGNITION THAT THIS IS A LOT COMING AT PEOPLE AT ONCE AND I THINK MY OTHER THING AND YOU
KNOW MY QUESTION ABOUT THE TICKETS JUST YOU KNOW AGAIN I RECOGNIZE STRONGLY THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ROOM AND POWER AND AN EMPHASIS AND TICKETS JUST GOING NOWHERE AND HAVING TO BRING IN A WHOLE OUTSIDE CONSULTANT JUST ARE WE ARE WE SURE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT ARE WE DOING TO AUDIT OUR SYSTEMS TO MAKE SURE THAT TICKETS ARE ACTUALLY GETTING RESOLVED AND NOT JUST CLOSED AND ALL THE THINGS THAT WERE SO PROBLEMATIC FOR PEOPLE UNDER THE LAST SYSTEM THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED ANYMORE. SO YEAH, YES YOU CAN GET IT. OKAY SO GREAT QUESTIONS COMMISSIONER FOR SURE ON THE FIRST ONE ON THE TRAINING SO WE THOUGHT WE HAD A THEORY OF ACTION THAT IN PARTICULAR THE RED ROVER TRAINING GIVEN THAT THAT SYSTEM IS SO INTUITIVE THAT A SLIDE DECK SHOWING WITH A VIDEO WOULD SUFFICE. SO WE ARE REGROUPING BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE CASE AND I THINK IT'S A MIX OF THE ENHANCEMENTS
AND THE FUNCTIONALITY AND RED ROVER KEEP CHANGING AND THERE WAS A VERY SPECIFIC ELEMENT OF BOTH SYSTEMS THAT I A MANTRA THAT I'M LEARNING AS I'M NOT AN EXPERT ON THIS MYSELF WHEN SOMEONE TELLS YOU THAT I CAN DO A, B AND C ASK IF WE CANNOT IF WE CAN DO IT AT THE SAME TIME AND THEN IF THE ANSWER IS YES THEN SAY SHOW ME RIGHT SO RED ROVER CAN DO MANY THINGS. IT CAN DO THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IT CAN DO IS I CAN SHOW YOU THAT YOU SUBMITTED VACATION BUT IN ORDER TO DO THAT UNTIL VERY RECENTLY IT ALSO HAD TO SHOW YOU YOUR MAIN SCHEDULE JOB. SO PEOPLE WERE TOUCHING THAT JOB AND PUTTING THEIR EXTRA HOURS IN THERE SO EIGHT HOURS FOR MORE ENTRY OR I WORK TWO EXTRA HOURS I PUT THEM IN THERE, MAKES IT TEN AND WE'RE LIKE CAN YOU FREEZE THAT LINE BECAUSE THAT AND THAT HAD TO EXIST IN ORDER FOR ME TO SHOW SOMEHOW AND RED ROVER THAT I REQUESTED A VACATION DAY DAY LIKE WHY ARE THOSE TWO TWO
THINGS CONNECTED BUT WITH KATHY HOPKINS AND OTHER FOLKS WHO ARE HERE I THINK SHE WAS HERE WE WORK WITH RED ROVER WHO HAS BEEN A GREAT PARTNER AND THEY HAVE FIXED THAT SO NOW YOU'LL SEE THAT BUT YOU CAN'T TOUCH IT. SO ALL THAT COMMERCIAL PRESSURE AGAIN, NONE OF THIS SHOULD BE INTERPRETED AS AN EXCUSE OR LIKE NO, WE THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING TO SUFFICE. CLEARLY THAT'S NOT WE THINK THE FUNCTIONALITY HAS BEEN IMPROVED. WE'LL BE DOING SOME VIDEOS AND WE'RE REGROUPING ON RED ROVER REALLY WILL TAKE ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES TO WALK SOMEONE THROUGH. SO HOW DO WE DO THAT TYPE OF TRAINING? I WAS JUST TALKING TO TIANA ABOUT PERSONALLY GOING TO THEIR EVENT THIS COMING THURSDAY AND MAYBE PILOTED IT THERE AS IT RELATES TO THE TICKETS, YOU'RE RIGHT AND I WANT TO CORRECT SOMETHING THAT THAT SLIDE THAT I SHOWED YOU SHOWS YOU THE TICKETS FOR OUR CALL CENTER IN CASE MANAGEMENT BEFORE WE'VE HAD, YOU KNOW, A ZENDESK FOR PAYROLL AND ONE FOR H.R. AND SO WE ARE AWARE THAT WE NEED TO GRAB ALL THOSE TICKETS AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NO ONE THERE THAT IS MISSING PAY.
I THINK EVERYONE IS HYPER SENSITIVE TO NO PAY ISSUES SO WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE'S NO PAY THAT WENT TO THE WRONG ZENDESK QUEUE AND THAT'S BEEN LEFT THERE. I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE CASE BUT WE NEED TO DO BETTER THERE AND I THINK IT'S A DIFFICULT THING. I DON'T HAVE A CLEAR ANSWER FOR YOU EXCEPT TO SAY THAT PAIN POINT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AND I TASK LAKE RAYMOND AND A FEW OTHERS TO THINK ABOUT WHAT CAN WE DO DIFFERENTLY? I DON'T KNOW IF IT LITERALLY MEANS BEGIN THE DAY WITH THE TICKETS AND THE DAY WITH THE TICKETS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ADDRESS EACH ONE. YEAH. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER. GOOD. SO I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THREE THINGS THAT CAN BE TRUE AT THE SAME TIME. SO FIRST OF ALL, MR. TRUJILLO, I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS YOU AND YOUR TEAM. I MEAN AS I UNDERSTAND ONE TRUTH YOU'VE BEEN SPENDING 60 TO 80 HOURS ON MAKING THIS WORK AND THE THE REALITY IS IS YOU GET THIS RIGHT.
NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING. YOU GET THIS WRONG. EVERYONE'S GOING TO BE YELLING AT YOU. SO IT IS A THANKLESS JOB AND I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, YOU KNOW, AND EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR THE TREMENDOUS WORK AND THIS HERCULEAN TASK IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU TOOK ON. >> TRUTH TO 97.5% OR RATHER JUST A 2.5% RATE. I MEAN I'VE GONE THROUGH THREE TECH IMPLEMENTATIONS MYSELF AND THAT'S THAT'S NOT A BAD RATE RIGHT OFF THE BAT AND THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU. >> YES. AND AND THREE I MEAN OF COURSE AND I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS TRUTH THAT IF YOU ARE THAT PERSON WHO'S IN THAT 2.5% 1,000% YOU NEVER WANT TO BE THAT 2.5 PERCENT RIGHT. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR DEDICATION AND THE DISTRICT'S DEDICATION TO MAKING SURE WE GET ALL OF THIS RIGHT. SO MY MY FIRST QUESTION IS WHAT IS THAT AVERAGE TIME TO CORRECT IF SAY SOMEONE IS DOESN'T HAVE A CORRECT CHECK AMOUNT? WHAT IS THAT WHAT IS THE TIME IT TAKES CURRENTLY? GREAT QUESTION AND ACTUALLY I'M GOING TO INVITE OUR EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR MS.. HARRIS TO COME UP FOR PAYROLL. SHE'S LIKE NO CHANCE BUT SO OUR COMMITMENT OUR COMMITMENT IS 48 HOURS, RIGHT? IF THE ISSUE IS WITHIN THE SYSTEM AND RIGHT BUT AS I TOLD YOU THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT COME UP FROM THE OLD SYSTEM BUT THAT'S OKAY. THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT COME UP WITH OTHER SYSTEM THAT YOU DO WANT YOUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF PAYROLL TO DO THEIR JOB CORRECTLY AND RECONCILE AND VALIDATE DATA. SO IT SAYS WHY DON'T YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT DATA RECONCILIATION THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AT TIMES. OKAY. SO WE'VE HAD SEVERAL SITUATIONS THAT WITH PAYROLL CONCERNING CERTAIN GROUPS THERE ARE CERTAIN GROUPS THAT WE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THEIR HOURS WERE THEY THEIR UNITS OR THEIR FTE WAS INPUT INTO FRONTLINE CORRECTLY BUT IT HADN'T BEEN DISCUSSED WITH THE UNION SO THEIR CHECKS CAME OUT WITH THE EXACT AMOUNT THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAID. HOWEVER THEY WERE PAID A CHECK
IN SAP FOR SEVEN NINE WHICH IS PART OF THEIR JULY PAYMENT. SO WE'RE JUST DISCOVERING THAT SO WE HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT SCENARIOS LIKE HE STATED, YOU KNOW THE SYSTEM WORKS FINE BUT WE JUST HAVE SOME OF THOSE ISSUES THAT ARE COMING THROUGH THAT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDABLE BECAUSE WE ARE PROCESSING IN TWO PAY CYCLES AND WE CAN'T SHUT ONE OFF BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH THAT WE'RE STILL DOING ARE THINGS THAT ARE KIND OF MOVING. SO WE'RE DEFINITELY TRYING TO FIX THE ONES THAT THAT MAY HAVE INCURRED AN OVERPAYMENT. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT OVERPAYING THEM ANY MORE BUT LIKE SMALL ITEMS WE'VE HAD LIKE OH WE'RE MISSING 5.5 HOURS, WE'RE GETTING THOSE DOWN SOME PEOPLE WHO MAY BE MISSING EIGHT HOURS OF OVERTIME WE'RE PROCESSED AND THOSE ON THE DAILY MANUALLY. SO THE SMALLER THE OF THE TRANSACTION THAT'S INCORRECT THE EASIER IT IS. BUT LIKE I SAID WE DO HAVE 1 OR 2 BIG JOBS THAT WE KIND OF HAVE TO MAKE SENSE OF BEFORE WE PROCEED. YEAH. SO ALL THAT IS TO SAY WHEN IT'S WITHIN THE ECOSYSTEM OF FRONTLINE AND RED ROVER THERE'S LIKE AN ECHO THEN IT'S EASY TO RESOLVE PROBLEMS WHEN WE HAVE
TO GO AND LOOK AT BACK AT THE OLD SYSTEM AND RECONCILE. THAT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF DOING AND THERE'S A TENSION POINT RIGHT TO YOUR POINT ABOUT THE 2%, WHAT MATTERS RIGHT NOW MY STANCE AND I KNOW BUSINESS IS LET'S MAKE THE EMPLOYEE WHOLE IMMEDIATELY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND I THINK THAT IS HER INTENT AS WELL. I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S NOT IT AT ALL. BUT YOU WANT TO DO DILIGENCE, RIGHT? SO WE'RE ALWAYS MANAGING THAT. BUT IF IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WEEK I WOULD SAY WE CAN WAIT A WEEK. WHAT CAN WE DO RIGHT NOW AND THEN MIGHT RESULT IN SOMEONE BEING OVERPAID AND THEN WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO CLEAN THAT UP. BUT AGAIN, TO BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR, THAT SENSE SEEMS TO BE MORE WITH THE SAP SYSTEM JUMPING INTO THE FRONTLINE WORLD IF IT'S JUST FOR ONLINE RELATED HOURS WERE SUBMITTED THERE'S A MISCONFIGURATION IN FRONTLINE AND ISSUE IS KNOWN AND IDENTIFIED BY 2 P.M. CHECK IS ISSUED BY 4 P.M.. SIMPLE AS THAT. GOT IT. >> I APPRECIATE THAT. I THINK I DID HAVE A LITTLE JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME. OKAY SO SO AND I JUST HAD ONE ONE MORE QUESTION ACTUALLY.
WELL I MEAN ONE CONFIRMATION OF JUST MAKING SURE I'M HEARING THE RIGHT THING WHICH IS MOST OF THESE CHALLENGES THAT WE'RE SEEING OR HEARING ABOUT ARE PERHAPS CHALLENGES OR YOU CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG CHALLENGES WITH ALL DATA ARE ANTIQUATED SYSTEMS THAT WE WERE PREVIOUSLY USING VERSUS ANYTHING STRUCTURALLY WRONG WITH FRONT LINE ITSELF. IS THAT CORRECT? COMMISSIONER GUPTA IN MY OPINION YOU ARE CORRECT, YES. THIS IS WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE LEGACY OF THE FAILED IMPLEMENTATION AND THE FACT THAT WE STILL NEED TO USE THAT SYSTEM TO FINISH OUT SUMMER PAY AND THAT PEOPLE SUBMITTED VACATION IN THAT SYSTEM AND ALL THOSE EXTRACTIONS. BUT WHEN IT'S CLEANER WAS TIME PROGRESSES AND YOU'RE IN FRONT LINE ALL THE INFORMATION IS THERE. IF FOR SOME REASON WE SOMEONE FORGOT TO GET A STEP INCREASE THAT GETS CORRECTED AND WE CAN MAKE IT WHOLE IMMEDIATELY. YEAH I APPRECIATE THAT CLARIFICATION. >> AND THEN THE LAST QUESTION I JUST HAD WAS ONE CONCERN THAT I'VE HEARD IS THAT AS IS
SUPPLIES ARE NOW ORDERED THROUGH FRONTLINE AND SO VERSUS SAY FOR EXAMPLE SOMEONE'S AMAZON ACCOUNT. SO I UNDERSTAND WHY THAT WOULD BE WHY THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL IN TERMS OF SOME OF THE FINANCIAL CONTROLS THAT THEN ALLOWS WITHIN OUR SYSTEM. BUT DOES THAT MEAN IT HAS TO GO THROUGH CENTRAL OFFICE APPROVALS THEN AND IF SO, YOU KNOW, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE SOMEONE MAY HAVE TO ORDER THINGS AND GET THEM INTO THE SITE WITHIN A DAY OR SO. SO WHAT ASSURANCES THEN CAN YOU PROVIDE THAT SITE MATERIALS WON'T BE DELAYED ESPECIALLY AS WE START SCHOOL? I DON'T HAVE AN IMMEDIATE ANSWER FOR YOU ON THAT EXCEPT TO SAY THAT WHAT WE'RE BUMPING INTO IS VERY MUCH PART OF THE THE TENSION AND AS OF THURSDAY OF CENTRALIZATION AND DECENTRALIZATION AND THIS SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO BE KIND OF LIKE A FLASHLIGHT TO INVOKE READ TO KIND OF LIKE USES DATA FROM WILL BE A FLASHLIGHT TO SYSTEMIC ISSUES PRACTICES THAT
MAY SERVE CONVENIENCE BUT THERE MIGHT BE A PROCUREMENT ISSUE THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE WE HAD A THOUGHT THAT YOU KNOW THE OLD SYSTEM WAS VERY SELF-SERVE. WE ALSO FOUND LACK OF CONTROLS RIGHT? SO SOMEONE COULD BUY SOMETHING AND AUTHORIZE THEIR PAYMENT FOR IT. THAT'S THAT I NO RIGHT. SO IN THE SPIRIT OF TRYING TO BE DOING THE RIGHT THING WE'VE CREATED SOME SOME WALLS HERE'S THE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS IF IT DOESN'T WORK AND WE FIND A DIFFERENT WAY THERE ARE THERE'S ENOUGH WIGGLE ROOM WITHIN THE SYSTEM TO OPERATIONALIZE THAT DIFFERENT SO WHEN WE BUMP INTO THESE THINGS AND THEY'RE NOT WORKING AGAIN I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CREATES FRUSTRATION FOR OUR PRINCIPAL WAS RIGHT NOW SHOULD WE FOCUS ON OPENING THE SCHOOL COUNTING THE DESKS ETC. NOT THIS KIND OF STUFF. THERE WAS A THEORY BEHIND THAT ABOUT BEING FISCALLY SOUND AND DOING THIS CORRECTLY AND WE NEED TO ADAPT WE WILL. I THINK THE PROPOSITION IN HERE WAS THAT THESE FIREWALLS ARE
IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN FINANCIAL STABILITY AND TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE ADAPTING TO SOME BEST BUSINESS PRACTICES AGAIN, THAT'S SUBJECTIVE, RIGHT? LIKE IS THAT A BEST PRACTICE FOR TODAY? CAN WE WAIT? WHAT'S THE IMPLICATION? I'LL DEFER TO OUR DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF BUSINESS SERVICES ABOUT THAT PART. RIGHT. BUT THAT'S AN EXAMPLE. THERE WAS A GOOD REASON FOR WHY WE DID IT. IT'S IMPACTING IN A DIFFERENT WAY AND I'LL JUST KINDLY SAY YOU KNOW THE FACT THAT THERE'S NOT THAT MANY WITH LONG LEGACY LEFT IN THE ORGANIZATION WHO COULD SAY WHAT MIRROR AND IF YOU DO THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN THAT WE KEEP LEARNING SOME NEW LESSONS THAT ARE NOT SHOULDN'T BE NEW BUT THAT ARE STILL NEW FOR ME PERSONALLY RIGHT BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER WORKED IN A SCHOOL SITE AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY RIGHT. SO I KNOW I'VE WORKED IN SCHOOL SITES FOR OVER A DECADE. I KNOW WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE BEING THERE BY 815 AND ALL OF THAT BUT EVERY SYSTEM IS DIFFERENT, RIGHT? SO WE ARE IN A LITTLE BIT OF A DISADVANTAGE IN THAT WAY. BOTTOM LINE WHAT I WANT AND SAYING IS WE'LL FIND A
SOLUTION, YOU KNOW AND WE CAN MOVE A LITTLE BIT FASTER AS ONE TEAM AND I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THAT HAS COST BUT THERE WAS A GOOD INTENT BEHIND THAT. I'M JUST GOING TO ASK OUR DEPUTY SUPER BUSINESS SERVICES CHRIS BENITA TO ADDRESS THIS QUESTION PLEASE. RIGHT. YEAH, THE COMMISSIONER'S POINTING OUT ANOTHER NEED THAT THE DISTRICT HAS WHICH IS SO MAUREEN REFERENCED PROCUREMENT. WE HAVE A VERY SMALL BUT MIGHTY TEAM OF SIX PROCUREMENT PROFESSIONALS. HOWEVER, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE REALLY NEED TO ADDRESS IS A COMPREHENSIVE ONLINE PROCUREMENT PROGRAM WHETHER IT'S THROUGH AMAZON OR OTHER COMMON ONLINE VENDORS, MASTER CONTRACTS AND A COMPREHENSIVE DISTRICT CREDIT CARD PROGRAM ATTACHED TO A SCHOOL SITES CHART OF ACCOUNTS SO THAT THEY CAN BUY WHATEVER THEY NEED HAVE IT THERE THE NEXT DAY AS NEEDED . THAT IS THE STANDARD IN SCHOOL BUSINESS AND WE JUST NEED TO GET THERE. IT'S GOING TO TAKE US ABOUT A YEAR. I'M SORRY I WAS I THOUGHT WHAT ARE WHAT MR. BENITEZ WAS GOING TO REFERENCE IS THAT IT WAS AN ACTUAL AUDIT FINDING THAT WE
DID NOT HAVE CONTROLS OVER OUR PURCHASING AND SO THIS STRUCTURE IS GOING TO ALLOW US TO HAVE GREATER CONTROL. WHAT WE WERE HAVING BEFORE WAS THAT IF A SCHOOL LEADER WAS MAKING A PURCHASE THE SCHOOL LEADER WOULD END UP HAVING UNFORTUNATELY TO CERTIFY AND CONFIRM THEIR OWN PURCHASE. SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS JUST GREATER CONTROL OVER THAT. >> THANK YOU. MORAN SO I THINK MY A LOT OF MY QUESTIONS THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER GUPTA HAVE BEEN LARGELY FOCUSED AROUND SOME OF THE CONVERSATION OR QUESTIONS THAT YOU BROUGHT UP. I WANT TO TAKE A STEP BACK AROUND JUST THE FISCAL OPERATIONAL UPDATE ITSELF BACK WHEN THIS WAS FIRST INTRODUCED AND BROUGHT TO A REGULAR BOARD MEETING OUT OF AN AD HOC THERE WAS A DASHBOARD THAT HAD I MEAN WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT AUDIT FINDINGS, A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF ITEMS THAT WE WERE KEEPING TRACK OF IN TERMS OF WHAT WE NEEDED TO ACCOMPLISH. FRONTLINE WAS A HUGE PART OF THAT SO I'M REALLY PLEASED TO
HEAR OF THE WORK AND PROGRESS THAT HAS GONE INTO THAT AND I AGAIN THANK YOU MARIN FOR ALL YOUR WORK ON THIS BUT I THINK THIS IS A QUESTION MORE FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT THAN FOR YOU SPECIFICALLY AROUND LIKE HOW ARE WE TO KEEP TRACK OF SOME OF THE THINGS BOTH PROGRESS THAT WE'RE MAKING AND FROM THE COMMENT FROM MR. MOUNT BENITEZ EARLIER AROUND THE AUDIT FINDINGS FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS GETTING RESOLVED THAT IS A HUGE WIN. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN THE CONTEXT OF ALL THE OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS THAT WE FRANKLY HAVE FROM CDC TO MAKE PROGRESS TOWARDS OUR WORK. MR. BENITEZ, I KNOW YOU'RE BRAND NEW TO THIS. I WILL GIVE YOU THE GRACE OF TIME TO BE ABLE TO GET SETTLED IN AND LET THE DUST SETTLE A BIT. BUT PLEASE NO, THIS REQUEST IS COMING BECAUSE WE DO. I DON'T WANT TO LOSE SIGHT OF THE WORK THAT WE HAVE TO DO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAKE PROGRESS ON MANY AREAS OF OUR FISCAL OPERATIONAL HEALTH ESPECIALLY DURING A TIME WHEN WE HAVE OUR
SHORT TERM METRICS THAT SPEAK TO THIS SPECIFICALLY. AND SO SO SO I THINK IT'S MORE OF A STATEMENT AND A REQUEST THAN ANYTHING ELSE OF OF I DON'T WANT TO LOSE SIGHT OF THE MANY OTHER THINGS THAT WE KNOW WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US TO ACCOMPLISH AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE SOME OF THE PROPER THAT'S BEING DONE INTERNALLY AS WELL. SO THAT'S I THINK ALL THAT I HAVE TO ADD FOR THAT POINT THERE. >> COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER THANK YOU. >> I WANT TO ECHO MY COLLEAGUE'S DEEP GRATITUDE, MR. TRUJILLO, FOR YOU, YOUR TEAM AND THE WHOLE DISTRICT, EVERYBODY THAT HAS WORKED ON THIS. I AM ONE OF THE FEW BOARD MEMBERS WHO REMEMBERS THE TRAUMA OF THE SLEEPOVER FROM FROM BEING HERE AND SO IT'S IT FEELS GOOD TO FINALLY BE BE PAST THE DEBACLE THE FIASCO THAT WAS IN POWER AND TO BE MOVING ON TO THIS NEW THING AND TO BE DOING IT IN WHAT SEEMS LIKE A RELATIVELY SMOOTH WAY. I ALSO REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR HUMILITY AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE IMPACT OF THE ERRORS AND AND I
YOU KNOW I KNOW I KNOW WE'LL CONTINUE TO GET BETTER AT THAT. I THINK. MY QUESTION AND I HAD SOME SIMILAR QUESTIONS AS SOME COLLEAGUES ABOUT MY FOLLOW UP QUESTION AROUND THAT IS PROBABLY MORE FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT ALSO ACTUALLY IT'S BECAUSE IT'S REALLY A WHAT I'M HEARING IS A PATTERN THROUGH THE PUBLIC COMMENT AND EVEN WHAT MR. TRUJILLO JUST ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS SORT OF CHANGE AROUND PURCHASING CAME AS A SURPRISE THAT IT WASN'T WORKING FOR PRINCIPALS. LET'S SAY I HEARD IT FROM PRINCIPALS AND WE HAVEN'T BEEN TRAINED TO TRAIN. WE DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE GOING HAVE TO TRAIN OUR STAFF. WE HADN'T BEEN TRAINED TO DO IT. I HEARD FROM THE TEACHERS UNION EDUCATORS UNION REPS YOU KNOW WE FLAGGED SOME CONCERNS AND WANTED QUICKER AND CLOSER COLLABORATION. TO ME IT FEELS LIKE THERE'S A PATTERN THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME IN S.F. CITY OF NOT CONSULTING DEEPLY ENOUGH WITH SCHOOL BASED STAFF AND AND I KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THIS LEADERSHIP TEAM WANTS TO CHANGE AND SO I'M NOT I DON'T THINK THIS WAS INTENTIONAL AT ALL BUT I'M I'M CURIOUS TO HEAR EITHER OF YOUR REFLECTIONS ON
THAT AND WHAT WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT THAT BIGGER BIGGER QUESTION OF HOW DO WE ENSURE THAT THE SORT OF MIDDLE LEVEL FOLKS ARE AND ARE ALWAYS CHECKING OUR YOU KNOW, BEFORE WE MAKE A DECISION ABOUT A PURCHASING CHANGE YOU KNOW, I MEAN WE COULD SAY IT MIGHT BE LOGICAL TO GO IN SURVEYS AND PRINCIPALS AND SEE HOW THIS MIGHT. SO I'M JUST CURIOUS AGAIN, BIG PICTURE, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON ON THAT CULTURAL SHIFT? I WELL, I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT IN TERMS OF WE DO WE HAVE TO DO BETTER AT COORDINATING ENSURING COHERENCE ACROSS THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, ACROSS THE DIFFERENT DIVISIONS AND THEN OF COURSE ACROSS ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS WHERE WE'RE WORKING ON IT WE ACTUALLY HAVE A CHANGE MANAGEMENT PLAN THAT WE'VE PUT IN PLACE AND AND I THINK WHAT YOU'RE HEARING IS JUST THE THE LEVEL OF DETAIL AND INFORMATION THAT THAT COMES THROUGH. THE WORK IS REALLY COMPLEX AND DENSE AND AT TIMES IT'S REALLY HARD TO TO COMPREHEND AND GRASP. I EXPERIENCE THIS DURING THE
BUDGET TIME LIKE JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN WE HEARD FROM PRINCIPALS THAT IT WAS REALLY HARD TO SIT THROUGH THAT VERY LONG TRAINING AND AND THEN WHEN YOU ASK QUESTION YOU END UP WITH JUST A POWERPOINT THAT WAS 100 SLIDES LONG THAT IS REALLY HARD. ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT MR. TRUJILLO AND I AND ACTUALLY THE TEAM HAVE HAD IS WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TO PREPARE FOR NEXT BUDGET? HOW DO WE MAKE IT BETTER? HOW DO WE ENSURE THAT OUR PRINCIPALS ARE NOT GOING TO BE STRETCHED SO THIN THAT THEY WON'T HAVE THE TIME OR THE BANDWIDTH TO DO ALL THE HEAVY LIFTING OF ENTERING THE DATA IN AND WE HAVE A PLAN. WE HAVE TO SOCIALIZE THIS PLAN WITHIN THE CENTRAL OFFICE TEAM AND THEN BRING THAT IDEA WHICH BY THE WAY HAS COME FROM THE GROUND UP, CAME FROM PRINCIPALS TO US AND THEN BRING IT BACK TO OUR PRINCIPALS TO CHECK WE HAVE WHAT WE HAVE WHAT WE HAVE NOW IS THE LUXURY OF TIME AND SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO WORK WITH OUR
PRINCIPALS AND OUR SITE LEADERS AROUND MAKING SURE THAT DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? WHAT IS WORKING, WHAT'S NOT WORKING AND HOW DO WE PIVOT WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK? COMMISSIONER SHEREE THANK YOU. I ALSO JUST WANTED TO ADD MY INCREDIBLY DEEP APPRECIATION FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM MEMBERS WHO HAVE WORKED SO HARD ON THIS LIKE THIS IS SUCH A TREMENDOUS LIFT SO I AM DEEPLY GRATEFUL AND GLAD THAT WE ARE MOVING TO A SYSTEM THAT WORKS AND THAT FOLKS CAN HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE IN AND THERE ARE CERTAINLY HICCUPS ALONG THE WAY AS THERE IS WITH ANY SYSTEM CHANGE. BUT I THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK THAT ALL OF YOU HAVE DONE AND FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO BE, YOU KNOW, ACCEPTING OF FEEDBACK AND SOLUTION ORIENTED. THAT'S THAT'S I JUST THINK FANTASTIC. I DO HAVE MY COLLEAGUES HAVE ALREADY ASKED A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS SO I'M GOING TO JUST FOCUS MY QUESTIONS MORE ON LIKE THE JUST KIND OF FACTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF SOME OF THIS
TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY OR CLARIFICATION. MY FIRST QUESTION IS ON SLIDE THREE WHERE THERE'S COLUMNS ABOUT THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF CHECKS ISSUED AND THE NUMBER OF MANUAL CHECKS ISSUED, IT IS 137 FOR INSTANCE, PART LIKE IF YOU SAY 137 MANUAL CHECKS ARE ISSUED IS THAT PART OF THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF CHECKS OR IS THAT AN ADDITION? >> GREAT QUESTION. YOU'RE PAYING ATTENTION. SO IF YOU NOTICE ON ON THE FIRST COLUMN IT SAYS APPROXIMATE HEAD COUNT. CAN WE GO TO THAT SLIDE PLEASE? THERE YOU GO. APPROXIMATE HEAD COUNT AND THEN THE NEXT ONE IS NUMBER OF CHECKS ISSUED RIGHT? SO IF FOR DISCLOSURE WE'VE BEEN BUSY SO IT'S NOT THE FIRST ONE SAID HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE WE GOING TO PAY AND THE SECOND ONE SHOWS HOW MANY CHECKS WERE ISSUED. SO THIS MIGHT BE THAT OUR POPULATION GREW BUT IT ALSO COULD BE THAT THERE WERE
DIFFERENT CHECKS THAT WERE ISSUED. SO IT'S NOT IT'S NOT COMPARING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THEN THE NUMBER OF MANUAL CHECKS ISSUED WAS AFTER THE ORIGINAL PAYROLL. WE HAD TO PRINT AN ADDITIONAL 137 OUTSIDE OF THE CYCLE. AGAIN, I WANT TO LIFT UP AND CELEBRATE IS THE WRONG WORD HIGHLIGHT THE FUNCTIONALITY OF ONE LINE THAT THAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE AT THE BEGINNING OF SRP. RIGHT SO MY POSSIBLE NOW THAT WE CAN DO THAT AND PRINT THE DAY OFF FOR CASH IN THE FOLLOWING DAY. THANK YOU. THAT'S HELPFUL FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND THIS CHART. MY SECOND QUESTION ALSO RELATES TO THE SAME THE SAME TABLE HERE. SOME OF THESE NUMBERS LIKE THERE'S ONLY NINE FOR INSTANCE MANUAL CHECKS THAT HAVE TO BE ISSUED WHEREAS THERE'S 413 OVERALL. RIGHT. BUT IN SOME THERE'S A MUCH THERE'S A MUCH GREATER PERCENTAGE WHERE THERE'S MANUAL CHECKS AFTERWARDS LIKE IN THE NEW CERTIFICATED SEVEN EXTRA PAY WHERE IT'S 96 CHECKS AND THEN 55 AFTERWARDS. CAN YOU JUST KIND OF EXPLAIN
WHAT'S GOING ON LIKE WHY THERE'S SO MANY MORE COMPARATIVELY IN ONE SITUATION ? YEAH. THANK YOU FOR PAYMENT. THIS IS GOOD. YEAH. YEAH. SO? SO AND I MAY NEED OUR PAYROLL BUT LET ME TRY AND SEE . OKAY, SO THIS IS THE NEW CYCLE, RIGHT OF PAY. SO IN MOST DISTRICTS WHEN YOU WORK EXTRA HOURS AND YOU'RE CERTIFICATED YOU DON'T GET IT ON YOUR MONTHLY CHECK. YOU GET IT ON THE DIFFERENT CHECK. >> SO THIS TIME WHEN THAT HAPPENED AND THAT INCLUDES OUR SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS SO THERE WAS A LITTLE BLIP WITH OUR SUBS AND WE DID NOT ACCOUNT FOR THE PAY FOR SUBS SO WE CAUGHT HIM AND THEY GOT PAID ON THE FIFTH. SO THAT WAS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN NO DIFFERENT IF THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GET PAID ON THE 31ST THAT 55 WOULD HAVE BEEN REFLECTED ON THE ONE ABOVE. SO THAT THAT'S A THAT I GET TO WORK. >> OH OKAY. COPY HOPKINS COME ON OVER AND I'M SENSITIVE TO TIMES SUPERINTENDED SO YEAH THE FIRST GROUP UP THERE WITH 107 IS
REFLECTIVE OF YEAR ROUND STAFF THAT WERE IDENTIFIED AS SCHOOL TERM STAFF. >> SO WHEN WE'RE PAYING THESE IN JULY WE'RE PAYING YEAR ROUND STAFF NOT SCHOOL TERM YET THEY HAVE NOT GONE ON CONTRACT YET. THERE IS A HISTORY IN THIS DISTRICT OF SCHOOL TERM STAFF WORKING YEAR ROUND NOT SUMMER SCHOOL THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WERE EVER MADE AWARE OF. THEY'RE ON A CONTRACT THAT SAYS THEY DON'T START UNTIL AUGUST BUT THEN THEY CAME IN AFTER THE FACT WITH I'VE BEEN WORKING IT WAS APPROVED SO WE QUICKLY GENERATED A CHECK AND MOVED THEM TO A YEAR ROUND TYPE OF POSITION. THE BIG CHUNK ON THE 55 ON THE FIFTH TO MARINES POINT IT WAS BECAUSE IT IS A NEW WAY OF PAYING. THERE WERE A GROUP OF SUBSTITUTES THAT WERE NOT EXTRACTED OUT OF THE RED ROVER BECAUSE OF THE TIME CHANGES. SO WHEN WE FOUND THOSE OUT WE GOT THOSE EXTRACTED OUT AND PAID IN. THE OTHER BIG THING WITH THESE NUMBERS IS THAT MANY OF THEM WERE DATA THAT WAS PUT INTO THE WORKFORCE EMPOWER SYSTEM.
WE DID NOT KNOW THAT THEY WERE SITTING OVER THERE UNTIL SOMEBODY REPORTED IT. WE WENT AND WE FOUND THEM SITTING OVER THERE UNPAID, PULLED THEM OUT AND PUT THEM INTO THE FRONT LINE SYSTEM. SO THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN MOST OF THESE PIECES. THIS IS VERY HELPFUL. PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M MISCHARACTERIZING BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE THESE ISSUES ARE COMING FROM AND SO THEY CAN BE RECTIFIED AND PRESUMABLY WON'T BE REPEATED, GETS YES, YES THAT'S THAT THAT IS THAT IS WHY I KEEP SAYING THAT COMPLEXITY PROVE IT TO THE OTHER SYSTEM IS VERY DIFFERENT. THIS IS ABOUT GRABBING ALL THESE KNOWN RITUALS AND PRACTICES AND TO COMMISSION ALEXANDER YOUR POINT ABOUT CONSULTING WE NEVER THOUGHT TO ASK WHO IS A SCHOOL TERM EMPLOYEE WHO'S NOT A SCHOOL TERM EMPLOYEE NEVER THOUGHT TO ASK THAT QUESTION. I KNOW BETTER NOW SO I SO I'M TRYING TO FIND DIFFERENT WAYS OF LIKE WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS THAT WE HAVE SO WE CAN ACCOUNT AND GET AHEAD OF THIS. I HAVE ASKED THAT QUESTION I GUESS IS THERE ANYTHING MORE
LIKE THIS IS A TEACHER COMING AT THE END OF THE MONTH SAYING WHY DIDN'T I GET PAID FOR THE FULL MONTH OF AUGUST? I LIKE IS THAT A THING SO FAR PEOPLE HAVE SAID NO. SO THE OTHER THING JUST TO POINT OUT THE FIRST PAYROLL THERE WITH THE LARGER NUMBER OF 137, MANY OF THOSE WERE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT PEOPLE WERE ENTERING TIME INTO RED ROVER WHICH I COULD UNDERSTAND THEIR CONFUSION AND SO THOSE TIMES WERE LOST MEANING THOSE HOURS WERE LOST BECAUSE THESE ARE EXCEPTION BASED PAY PEOPLE. SO WE DIDN'T EXTRACT THOSE WHEN THEY CAME IN AND REPORTED THIS WE WENT AND SAW HOW THEY WERE ENTERING IT INTO RED ROVER AND THAT'S WHY WE REQUESTED THE CHANGES TO THE SOFTWARE TO NOT ALLOW FOR THAT ANYMORE AND WE FOUND THOSE HOURS AND PAID THEM. SO THAT WAS ANOTHER THING THAT IT HAS BEEN RESOLVED SO IT WILL NO LONGER HAPPEN. >> THANK YOU. IT'S REALLY HELPFUL TO HAVE SOME UNDERSTANDING OF HOW YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT THIS AND TRY TO GIVE US CONFIDENCE AND ABILITY TO MANAGE IT. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. MY LAST QUESTION IS RELATED TO THERE WAS A STATEMENT ON ONE OF
THE SLIDES SLIDE FIVE THAT THE LAST SAP PAY PAY RUN WILL BE ON 829. DOES THAT MEAN THAT WE WILL CEASE WORKING WITH SAP, YOU KNOW, CEASE TO HAVE A CONTRACT WITH THEM OR OR WILL OKAY. THANK YOU. WELL IT IS THE LAST THE TREES DON'T THINK IT IS THE LAST SIGNIFICANT PAY ROLL OUT OF SAP AND IF THERE ARE CHANGES THAT ARE EASIER TO PRODUCE IN SAP WHERE WHAT WE'RE BALANCING IS HOW QUICKLY WE CAN MAKE AN EMPLOYEE WHOLE INCORRECT THAT WOULD BE A DECISION POINT BUT NEVER ANOTHER MAJOR PAYROLL CYCLE WITH S&P. >> SO WHAT WE CALL MANUAL CHECKS ON ON SLIDE THREE THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT IT MIGHT MAKE MORE SENSE BECAUSE ALL THE DATA STILL SAY BE EASIER TO CALCULATE IN A SHORT CHECK THAT WAY I DON'T LIKE IT BUT AS PATRICE TELLS ME THAT IS THE CORRECT WAY TO DO IT AND SHE KNOWS THIS BETTER THAN I BUT NOT AGAIN ANOTHER BIG PAY CYCLE LIKE THIS. >> YEAH. THANK YOU. BOTH SIDES OF HEALING. SO I'VE SEEN SOME SOME NEWS REPORTING THAT THERE ARE
THERE'S GLITCHING IN FRONT LINE AND RED ROVER AND WHAT I'M HEARING FROM YOU IS THAT THE SOFTWARE IS NOT GLITCHING. IT'S ACTUALLY WORKING AS INTENDED AND THAT WE ARE KIND OF DEALING WITH GROWING PAINS OF MAKING SURE THAT WE PROPERLY INFORM PEOPLE HOW TO USE THE SYSTEM THAT WE ARE PROPERLY EXTRACTING INFORMATION. IS IS THAT THE CASE? HAVE YOU ACTUALLY ENCOUNTERED ANY TECHNOLOGICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS SYSTEM IN THE WAY THAT WE HAD WITHIN POWER WHERE IT WAS MISCALCULATING OR NOT ISSUING CHECKS OR ANYTHING ON THE TECHNICAL SIDE? VICE PRESIDENT YOU KNOW, IT MAKES ME VERY HAPPY TO ANSWER THAT WITH A SIMPLE ANSWER NO THANK YOU. >> AND IT SEEMS LIKE SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WE'RE HAVING FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND ARE ACTUALLY REVEALING PROBLEMS THAT WE HAD IN EMPOWER THAT WE HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY DISCOVERED. >> IS THAT IS THAT CORRECT? YES. AND WITH A LOT OF GRACE AND UNDERSTANDING FOR ALL OF OUR COLLEAGUES WHO HAVE BEEN
HERE BEFORE I WAS HERE MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF THE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I DIDN'T KNOW RIGHT. LIKE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS NOT A THING YOU KNOW SO CLICKING A BUTTON AND THEY SAY P TO MAKE A SCHOOL TERM EMPLOYEE YEAR ROUND THAT'S NOT HOW THAT WORKS RIGHT BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT'S HOW IT WAS OPERATIONALIZED AND THAT'S HAPPY THERE'S A SOLUTION IN FRONT LINE IT'S IT'S NOTICING IT'S ENGAGING WITH LABOR IN H.R. AND AND IT CAN BE FIXED SO YEAH THE SYSTEM CAN HOLD THE SYSTEM IS SET UP FOR K12. WE HAVE SOME UNIQUE ELEMENTS. THERE MIGHT BE A POINT YET TO BE ENCOUNTER WHERE WE AGREE THAT THIS CANNOT BE HELD WITHIN FRONTLINE AND THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT THAT UNUSUAL. THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT MAYBE THE SYSTEM CANNOT HOLD BUT NOT THE MAJORITY OF WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT THERE'S BEEN A CONCERTED EFFORT TO PLAN FOR MANUAL CHECK FIXES AND MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE GETTING TICKETS, RESPONDED TO. ARE WE EXPECTING TO INCUR
SIGNIFICANT OVER TIME OR CAN HAVE HAVE PEOPLE PULLED FROM OTHER OPERATIONAL RESPONSES IN THIS AT THE SAME VOLUME THAT WE DID WITH EMPOWER TO TO FIX THOSE THINGS OR IS THIS KIND OF A MUCH SMALLER BLIP? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I I WILL TELL YOU THAT ABOVE THE PAYROLL TEAM AND H.R. TEAM NOT TO SPEAK FOR IT TO ACTUALLY BUT THEY STAND READY TO TO RALLY AS THEY HAVE BEEN TO GET THIS DONE. WE DO STAY OPEN TILL SIX RIGHT WHEN WE AFTER EVERY PAY CYCLE WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT PEOPLE ARE AT WORK AND DON'T WANT TO ALTHOUGH I THINK FOR PAY WE WOULD ALLOW THEM TO LEAVE THEIR SIDE IF THEY NEEDED TO. THEY DON'T HAVE TO. RIGHT? THEY CAN MAKE A PHONE CALL. THEY CAN DO THAT. BUT SOME PEOPLE NEED TO TALK. SO NO, NOT NOT A SIGNIFICANT AND I GUESS I WOULD SAY EVEN IF THERE IS AT THIS MOMENT TO MEET THE NEED THAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S AN EXORBITANT THING WHERE
WE WOULD SUPERINTEND WOULD COME AND SAY WE DID NOT ACCOUNT FOR THIS IN THE BUDGET. YOU KNOW IT'S WE HAVE WE HAVE A CUSHION OF FUNDS FOR FOR THIS AND IT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM. THANK YOU. MY LAST QUESTION IS THE SUPERINTENDENT TO FOLLOW UP ON WHAT COMMISSIONER RAY ASH ASKED ABOUT THE CONTINUATION OF EMPOWER. DO WE I KNOW WE HAVE ADDITIONAL MODULES WITHIN FRONTLINE AND RED ROVER THAT HAVE ADDITIONAL CAPABILITY THAT WE'RE STILL GOING TO ROLL OUT SEPARATE FROM BASIC PAYROLL. BUT HOW LONG DO WE EXPECT THAT THAT ROLLOUT TO TAKE AND WHEN CAN WE LOOK FORWARD TO STOPPING PAYING SMP AND ANY ONGOING CONSULTING FEES FOR THAT SYSTEM ACTUALLY, SURE. I'LL START SO NOTHING'S FREE, RIGHT? SO WHAT I SAY WITH OUR PARTNERS WITH THE PREVIOUS ERP WE HAVE A LICENSING AGREEMENT TO HAVE ACCESS. I MEAN ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STILL EXISTS TODAY IS THAT YOU
CAN STILL GO INTO ACP AND LOOK AT YOUR TIME AND YOUR VACATION. AS I UNDERSTAND THAT WAS A SIGNIFICANT PAIN POINT IN THE LAST IMPLEMENTATION THAT PEOPLE WERE REALLY WEARY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SICK LEAVE, WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VACATION AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO WE HAVE THAT FUNCTIONALITY FOR VIEW ONLY WITHIN ACP WE WANT THAT ACCESS AS WE EXTRACT THE DATA AND BUILD OUR OWN DATA WAREHOUSE. BUT THAT'S FOR ANOTHER 12 MONTHS. SO I WASN'T PREPARED FOR AN ESTABLISHED ALREADY ENDED THE CORRESPONDING CONSULTANTS THAT HELP US STAND UP SAP IS A SMALL GROUP BUT THEY ARE HIGHLY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS. THAT GROUP ALSO HAS AN END DATE ALREADY SCHEDULED AND WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED BRINGING DOWN THE ECOSYSTEM OF TECHNICAL SUPPORT THAT IS REQUIRED TO SUPPORT FRONTLINE. IT'S ALL INTERNAL AS ANY OTHER DISTRICT WHERE THE LEADERSHIP OF OUR D.O.T. BE TEAM AS WELL. AND THEN THERE IS ONE MODULE JUST FOR CONTEXT AND TRANSPARENCY I BELIEVE IT'S THE ONE THAT HELPS US WITH LONG LEAVES. THERE'S SOME FUNCTIONALITY NOT IN THIS IP BUT IN WORKFORCE
THAT IS JUST REALLY GOOD AT TELLING YOU YOU'VE EXHAUSTED YOUR VACATION YOU'RE GOING TO MATERNITY LEAVE SO NOW YOU DO TAKE THIS IT OPERATIONALIZE IS THAT WE LEFT IT AVAILABLE AND THAT WILL CONTINUE IN THE BACKEND TO BE USED TO DO THE CALCULATIONS BUT THOSE ARE SMALL CONTRACTS ON PRODUCTS. I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE A MORE DETAILED YOU KNOW WRITE UP ACTUALLY WE WE ARE WORKING ON A TRANSITION PLAN FOR ALL OF OUR CONSULTANTS IN THE DISTRICT AND THAT ACTUALLY THAT'S ANOTHER PROJECT THAT MAUREEN IS WORKING ON AND SO WE CAN BRING THAT REPORT TO THIS BOARD TO SHOW TO SHOW THE BOARD AND TO SHARE WITH THE BOARD THE PLAN FOR OUR SLOW ATTRITION AND WEANING OFF OF OUR REALLY AMAZING CONSULTING SUPPORT TEAMS THAT HAVE HELPED US THROUGH THE MANY, MANY YEARS OF STRUGGLES WITH THIS PARTICULAR PAYROLL SYSTEM. BUT THEN ALSO JUST IN TERMS OF HELPING US WITH WITH DEVELOPING THE COHERENCE INSIDE THE WORK. >> YEAH, I KNOW THAT THAT WAS A
LINE ITEM IN THE BUDGET THAT WE RECENTLY APPROVED IN JUNE. DO WE EXPECT THAT IT THAT THERE WILL BE ANY LINE ITEM FOR EMPOWER CONSULTANTS ARE ONGOING AND POWER EXPENSES FOR THE NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET THAT IS THAT IS THE REPORT THAT WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER SO WE ARE PLANNING OUT HOW DO WE TAPER OFF AND WEAN FROM THESE CONSULTING SUPPORTS . COMMISSIONER WISEMAN OR DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THANK YOU. ONE VERY QUICK QUESTION AND TO COMMENTS ONE I WAS REALLY PLEASED TO HEAR DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT BENEATH THIS TALK ABOUT WHERE WE ARE ON THE AUDIT. THAT SOUNDS FANTASTIC SO THANK YOU ALSO APPRECIATE THE UPDATE ON THE TRANSITION AND IT SOUNDS LIKE YES, THERE ARE SOME IT'S NOT 100% PERFECT BUT THE SYSTEM ITSELF IS IS DOING WHAT IT NEEDS TO DO AND PART OF THIS IS JUST TRANSITIONING OVER BUT WITH BAD DATA THAT WAS BAD DATA AND INTO BETTER WAYS TO THAT IT WORKS PROPERLY AND IT ALSO SOUNDS I'M JUST IMAGINING I MEAN I KNOW COMMISSIONER
ALEXANDER DESCRIBED YOU KNOW, NOT MANY OF US WERE AROUND THAT SLEEP AND IT WAS ACTUALLY THE NIGHT I WAS APPOINTED OR PRESS THE SLEEP IN. SO I DO REMEMBER THAT IT WAS MY WELCOME TO THE BOARD BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I'M NOTE I'M NOTICING AND HEARING IS THAT AND I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN COMMISSIONER RAY WHO WHO RAISED THIS THAT IT'S MAYBE IF IT WASN'T COMMISSIONER I APOLOGIZE TO WHOEVER BASIS BUT THAT YOU ALL ARE I DENT ARE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE AND I FEEL LIKE WITH EMPOWER IT WAS JUST IT WAS NO ONE KNEW WHERE THAT HOW TO PINPOINT WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS WHICH MEANT IT COULDN'T BE RESOLVED. OKAY SO MIKE MY VERY QUICK QUESTION. THE APPENDIX IN THE SLIDE DECK GIVES AN IMPLEMENTATION IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE AND I JUST WANTED TO KNOW I'M ASSUMING YOU ALL FEEL CONFIDENT AND ACCURATE WITH IT GIVEN THAT THIS WAS ATTACHED RECENTLY FOR THE THIS BOARD MEETING BUT IT
LOOKS LIKE YOU KNOW THAT ONE OF THE NEXT PHASES IS THE CREDENTIALS AUDITING AND PAY HOLDS WHICH WOULD START FOR PHASE ONE WHICH WOULD START IN JUST A WEEK OR TWO. AND SO I WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU ALL ARE FEELING CONFIDENT ABOUT THIS UPDATED TIMELINE. >> COMMISSIONER WEISS MY WORD YEAH, GREAT QUESTION. I WOULD SAY AT THIS MOMENT WE NEED TO DO A PAUSE NOT A PAUSE LIKE STOP AND REGROUP AND REALLY ASK OURSELVES WHAT OF PHASE ONE DO WE NEED TO SOLIDIFY AND CREATE A STRONGER FOUNDATION BEFORE WE JUMP INTO PHASE TWO IN THE SAME VEIN OF SOME OF FRONT LINE IMPLEMENTATION DOES NOT REQUIRE A LOT OF CONSULTANT EFFORT. SO THE MORE EQUIPPED OUR TEAM IS AND THAT'S I SAID IT THE WRONG WAY THERE'S A DIFFERENT WAY TO DO THIS WHERE WE'RE MORE HANDS ON AS EMPLOYEES SO IF WE WANT TO DO THAT THEN WE MIGHT NEED TO PASS AND GET REALLY GOOD AT FACE ONE. WHAT WAS THE THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T LEARN PERFECTLY THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO LEAVE THE WORKING FACE TO WITH FEWER
EXTERNAL RESOURCES? IT'S AT THE SESSION POINT IT'S A TENSION POINT. IF AT THE END OF THIS WE REALIZED THAT THAT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG AND WE WANT TO PRIORITIZE IMPLEMENTING THIS THEN COMMISSIONER WISEMAN WARNED THEN FACE TWO LOOKS PRETTY ACCURATE IF WE DECIDE THAT NO, WE WANT TO GET BETTER AT DOING IT OURSELVES AND THAT MEANS THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUSH SOME THINGS OUT SO THAT WE CAN DO IT OURSELVES WITH A LOWER NUMBER OF CONSULTANTS THAN THIS PHASE TWO WOULD NEED TO BE RESHIFT THAT IN A NEW ONE WOULD BE PROVIDED. BUT I WOULD USE THE WORD PAUSE RIGHT NOW TO IF I'M MAKING SENSE IS LIKE WE CAN WE CAN KEEP BEING CHAUFFEURED BY BY SOMEONE RIGHT BUT WE COULD REALLY LEARN HOW TO DRIVE THE CAR. THAT'S A BAD METAPHOR BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING LIKE JUST DO THIS OURSELVES. IS IT WORTH IT RIGHT NOW? ARE WE LIKE THAT NICE. BUT I WANT THESE MODULES IMPLEMENTED TODAY AND SO FOR TRANSPARENCY THAT'S THE DECISION WE NEED TO TO CHALLENGE OURSELVES WITH. SO TBD THAT'S HELPFUL AND I GUESS I MAYBE THEN TO THE SUPERINTENDENT WHAT I THINK WOULD AT LEAST BE HELPFUL FOR
ME IS IF IF THIS TIMELINE CHANGES THE NEXT TIME WE GET A TIMELINE, I DO THINK IT'D BE GOOD TO HAVE A COMPARISON AND SO WE CAN SEE IF THINGS ARE BEING SHIFTED IN DIFFERENT WAYS JUST HOW THAT LOOKS BECAUSE I WILL TELL YOU NOW WITHOUT A COMPARISON I WILL FORGET WHAT THE WHAT THE ORIGINAL TIMELINE SAID. SO MAYBE JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE A VERSION SO WE CAN SEE HOW THINGS ARE PROGRESSING AND OR PAUSING ETC.. YES. THANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT CONCLUDES OUR FIRST ROUND. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? AWESOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH MARIN AND THANK YOU SO MUCH MR. BENITEZ AND WE'LL MOVE ON. ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT? YEAH. I JUST WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FANTASTIC WORK THAT MARIN AND LATRICE HARRIS AND OF COURSE OUR CONSULTANT CATHY HOPKINS AND OUR ASSOCIATES SOUP OF H.R.
HAVE AND HER TEAM HAVE WORKED ON THIS OVER THE LAST TEN MONTHS THAT I'VE BEEN IN THIS ROLE. I KNOW THAT I'VE PUSHED YOU ALL REALLY HARD AND YOU'VE IN TURN HAVE WORKED REALLY HARD WITH YOUR TEAMS AND AND JUST I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THAT IT TRULY IS AN ALL HANDS ON DECK AND IT'S TRULY IS AN ENDEAVOR OF LOVE AND RESPECT FOR THE ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES HERE TO GET THIS RIGHT. AND I JUST WANT TO PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OF YOU FOR JUST THAT WORK THAT COMMITMENT TO OUR EMPLOYEES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO GET THIS RIGHT. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DOCTOR TWO ITEM TWO SCHOOL YEAR 2526 EXECUTIVE CABINET AND LEADERSHIP ORGANIZATIONAL CHART DR. STEVE GREAT THANK YOU. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO PULL UP THE SLIDES HERE AND BEFORE YOU BEGIN IF I CAN JUST ACKNOWLEDGE
SO THIS WAS PART OF OUR SHORT TERM EVALUATION METRICS UP AS SUPERINTENDENT. SO I BELIEVE THIS IS A RESPONSE TO IN PART THAT REQUESTS THAT CAME IN THROUGH THE SHORT TERM METRICS, CORRECT? >> YES. AND IT IS VERY APPROPRIATE FOR US TO UPDATE OUR OR CHART TO SINCE WE HAVE LOTS OF CHANGES TO IT. MR. STEELE I THINK IT'S THE THE ONE THAT'S IN THE SLIDE DECK THAT'S IN THIS NO, NOT THIS ONE. THIS IS THE LINK TO THE ACTUAL SO MAYBE WE CAN WE CAN START HERE. OOPS. OKAY. SO AS MR. STEELE IS LOOKING FOR THE ACTUAL SLIDES, I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS THIS BOARD AND OUR COMMUNITY OF SCHOOL LEADERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS WORKED REALLY HARD TO COME TO TO TO TO PRODUCE A BALANCED BUDGET. HOWEVER, THAT WAS A SIGNIFICANT COSTS THE BALANCED BUDGET AND LEFT MEANT THAT WE CUT $114 MILLION FROM OUR BUDGET BUT IT
ALSO MEANT THAT WE REDUCED ALMOST 500 FTE FROM OUR SYSTEM. THAT'S SIGNIFICANT AND OF THOSE 500 FTE IS 350 OF THEM WERE ACTUAL PEOPLE INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE IN OUR SYSTEM PROVIDING SERVICES AND WORKING AND AS I'VE SAID BEFORE I AM GREATLY APPRECIATIVE FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE THOSE INDIVIDUALS AND I WISH IT WAS A DIFFERENT IT WAS A DIFFERENT SITUATION THAT WE WERE IN BUT THAT IS UNFORTUNATELY THE THE THE MOMENT THAT WE HAD TO DEAL WITH AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE HAD TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT CUTS AND THIS IS THE UPDATED OR CHART THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHART WHAT I'M GOING TO SHARE IS JUST THE LEADERSHIP PART HERE AND THEN I'M GOING TO PROVIDE ACTUALLY IN THE BOARD DOGS IN THIS PARTICULAR POWERPOINT DECK YOU'LL HAVE A LINK TO THE FULL ORG CHART OF EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT OF EVERY SINGLE DIVISION THAT IS IN THE CENTRAL OFFICE. BUT I WANT TO WALK YOU THROUGH
HIGH LEVEL FIRST. YES. THANK YOU, MR. STEELE. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. AGAIN, EVERYTHING WE DO HAS TO BE CENTERED ON OUR STUDENTS. WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON WHY WE ARE DOING THIS WORK, WHY WE MADE THOSE HARD DECISIONS AND FOR FOR WHAT REASON IT IS FOR US TO ACHIEVE THESE BIG BOLD GOALS THAT OUR BOARD AND OUR COMMUNITY IS EXPECTING OF US TO REACH OUR THIRD GRADE LITERACY GOALS TO REACH OUR EIGHTH GRADE MATH GOALS AND TO ENSURE THAT OUR STUDENTS GRADUATE COLLEGE CAREER AND LIFE READY IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THOSE GOALS. WE HAVE LAID OUT A PATH FOR OURSELVES. WE NEED TO IMPROVE OUR STUDENT LEARNING AND THAT DOES INCLUDE HAVING A TEACHER IN EVERY CLASSROOM, MAKING SURE THAT OUR TEACHERS HAVE THE RESOURCES AND TOOLS THEY NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL, MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE STRONG AND SUPPORTED
SCHOOLS AND THAT MEANS THAT WE ARE REBUILDING OUR ENROLLMENT. IT MEANS THAT WE ARE CREATING NOT YET KEEP GOING TO OH DO YOU NOT HAVE SLIDE THREE? WELL HE'S JUMPING THE GUN AND THEN NOW YOU GUYS GET TO SEE WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. SO YEAH, JUST ONE MORE. YES, THERE YOU GO. JUST GIVING PRECURSORS TO THIS BUT ENSURING THAT WE HAVE STRONG AND SUPPORTED SCHOOLS, MAKING SURE THAT WE REBUILD OUR ENROLLMENT, MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT THAT OUR FAMILIES WANT AND NEED AND REQUEST FROM US LIKE EXPANDING OUR IMMERSION PROGRAMS LIKE ENSURING THAT WE HAVE HIGH ACADEMIC AND RIGOROUS COURSES AVAILABLE TO OUR STUDENTS AND THEN FINALLY ENSURING THAT WE HAVE SYSTEMS THAT ARE STABLE AND THAT WE ARE GOVERNING OURSELVES EFFECTIVELY THAT WE ARE NOT GETTING IN OUR WAY, THAT WE ARE BUILDING COHERENCE AND COORDINATION ACROSS DIVISIONS ACROSS
DEPARTMENTS. THIS IS WHY NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. I HAVE RECONSTITUTED OUR EXECUTIVE CABINET SO I HAVE STREAMLINED THE EXECUTIVE CABINET TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR COHERENCE. MY EXECUTIVE CABINET NOW WILL HAVE WILL INCLUDE OUR GENERAL COUNSEL, OUR SOON TO BE HIRED HOPEFULLY DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF ED SERVICES. OUR RECENTLY HIRED DEPUTY SUPERINTEND OF BUSINESS SERVICES AND OPERATIONS OUR ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT OF H.R. AND OUR HEAD OF COMMUNICATIONS AND GOVERNANCE. THE REASONS WHY WE ARE GOING TO CREATE A TIGHTER AND MORE STREAMLINED EXECUTIVE CABINET IS SO THAT WE CAN ALL MOVE TOWARDS COMMON PURPOSE TOGETHER SO THAT THESE ARE THE ENTITIES THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE OVERSEEING KEY POLICY BODIES WITHIN THIS DISTRICT. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE WE'RE SO THESE ARE THE AND THESE ARE THE FOLKS WHO ARE GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR KEY POLICY, KEY
POLICY DECISIONS WITHIN OUR DISTRICT AND WILL HELP ME MOVE THE VISION FORWARD. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE TO EMPHASIZE THAT EVEN MORE WE'RE INTEGRATING OUR VGS OUR VISION VALUES, GOALS AND GUARDRAILS INTO EACH ONE OF THESE EXECUTIVE LEADERS SCOPE OF WORK AND ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITY. YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT WE ARE TASKING AND ASSIGNING OUR GOALS AND GUARDRAILS INTO THESE LEADERS BECAUSE WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS CLEAR ACCOUNTABILITY AND ENSURE THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND AND WHERE THE BUCK STOPS, WHERE QUALITY CONTROL IS HAPPENING, WHERE THE INTEGRATION OF STUDENT LEARNING, WHERE THE INTEGRATION OF OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES AND WHERE THE INTEGRATION OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IS HAPPENING I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE INFLEXIBLE. WE HAVE TO BE MALLEABLE AS A SYSTEM AND WE WILL BE. BUT THIS IS WHERE IT STARTS.
IT STARTS AT THIS TABLE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. I AM CREATING A SUPERINTENDENTS LEADERSHIP TEAM. THIS IS THE TEAM THAT I WILL WORK WITH ON A REGULAR BASIS TO ENSURE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POLICY AND OF THE VISION HAPPENS. THESE ARE OUR KEY STAFF WHO LEADS MAJOR DIVISIONS AND DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THIS DISTRICT WHO HOLD LEADERSHIP ROLES THAT ARE MOVING THE NEEDLE FOR STUDENT LEARNING SUPPORTED AND SCHOOL SUCCESS AND SYSTEM WIDE SYSTEMS AND GOVERNANCE COHERENCE. EVERY MEMBER OF THE SUPERINTENDENT LEADERSHIP TEAM WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT THEY HOLD THEIR DIVISIONS AND TEAMS ACCOUNTABLE TO THE VISION OF THE DISTRICT AS WELL AS ENSURING THAT WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE ACROSS TEAMS AND SO AT THE END OF THE DAY THIS IS GOING TO BE THE LEADERSHIP TEAM THAT'S GOING TO GET THE WORK DONE AND I DON'T THINK I NEED
TO TALK MORE ABOUT IT. YOU CAN SEE THAT AND THEN IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE FULL ORG CHART OF EACH ONE OF THOSE TEAMS AND HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THOSE TEAMS AND WHAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR, YOU CAN NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. YOU CAN CLICK ON OUR FULL ORG CHART. SURE. AND THIS IS WHERE OH SORRY WE SHOULD ACTUALLY HAVE TECH INTEGRATION AS WELL. IT'S OKAY. WELL REGARDLESS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CLICK ON IT AND THEN BE ABLE TO IT WILL TAKE YOU TO OUR PAGE THAT'S ON THE WEBSITE WHERE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE BREAKDOWN OF EACH OF OUR DIVISIONS OF EACH OF OUR DEPARTMENTS, OF EACH OF OUR TEAMS ON IT. PLEASE NOTE THAT EACH OF THE DIVISIONS OR THE DEPARTMENTS ARE HAVE HYPERLINKED EMAILS THAT YOU CAN THEN CLICK ON TO THEN CONNECT DIRECTLY TO THAT PERSON BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE ARE ACCESSIBLE TO OUR FAMILIES, TO OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE THERE'S THERE'S THERE'S BECAUSE WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE CULTURE OF OF HOW WE ARE DOING BUSINESS. WE HAVE TO BE ACCESSIBLE AND OF COURSE WE HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO OUR FAMILIES, TO OUR YOUNG PEOPLE, TO OUR STAFF . OKAY. IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE LOADING. IT'S OKAY ONCE AGAIN THIS THIS OR CHART WILL BE PUBLISHED ON OUR WEBSITE. PLEASE KNOW THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT? OH NO IT'S REALLY BAD. IT'S SO IT'S A LIVING BREATHING DOCUMENT AS WE ADD MORE PEOPLE OR UNFORTUNATELY AS PEOPLE LEAVE WE WILL BE UPDATING THE ORG CHART ON OUR WEBSITE. I HAVE NOT DETERMINED THE CADENCE OF THAT UPDATE YET BUT WE WILL BE UPDATING THAT AND WITH THAT I'M GOING TO CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION AND TAKE QUESTIONS. UM HOW WOULD A COMMISSIONER LIKE TO START US OFF OR I CAN THANK YOU SO MUCH SUPERINTENDENT TWO AND MEMBERS OF YOUR TEAM I KNOW THAT IT HAS BEEN A TIME OF GREAT TRANSITION SO I WANT TO THANK YOU AND YOUR
TEAM FOR FOR REALLY STAYING FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE WE ARE ABLE TO PRODUCE AN ACCURATE AND AND COMPREHENSIVE WORK CHART. UM, I WILL SAY I'M VERY PLEASED TO SEE HOW THE WORK IS GETTING STRUCTURED PARTICULARLY AROUND THE BRINGING TOGETHER OF THE SCHOOL SIDE SCHOOL SERVICES TEAM AND THE ED SERVICES TEAM. MY CONCERN IS THAT THAT REMAINS TO BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST AREAS OF GAP IN MOST EDUCATION SYSTEMS IS SCHOOL LEADERSHIP MANAGEMENT AND CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION. AND SO I AM VERY MUCH EXCITED TO HAVE SOMEONE STEP INTO THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT ROLE AND THAT DIVISION OF LABOR CONTINUES TO BE SOMETHING THAT I AM VERY CURIOUS ABOUT IN TERMS OF HOW THAT WORK COMES TOGETHER. I'M LOOKING AT THE GENERAL PUBLIC MORE COMPREHENSIVE OR CHART AND THERE THERE ARE JUST SOME CONFUSING SLIDES AND I THINK THIS MIGHT BE A FORMATTING ISSUE BUT THERE ARE JUST SEVERAL SIDES THAT HAVE LIKE MULTIPLE IRONS. I THINK IT WOULD JUST BE HELPFUL TO CLEAN THAT UP A LITTLE BIT TO BETTER UNDERSTAND
AND KIND OF THE GENERAL REPORTING STRUCTURES AND AND I'M CURIOUS SO I KNOW YOU'VE MENTIONED SOME VACANT POSITIONS LIKE SPECIAL EDUCATION HAS A NUMBER OF OF PRETTY SENIOR ROLES THAT CONTINUE TO REMAIN VACANT. WHAT IS WHAT IS THE HIRING PLAN FOR THOSE POSITIONS LESS AROUND SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND MORE AROUND MID TO UPPER MANAGEMENT OF THOSE POSITIONS? YEAH AND ARE THERE LIKE YEAH SO I'LL JUST START WITH THAT FOR NOW. SO I WILL ACTUALLY START WITH OUR THE HEAD OF OUR SPED POSITION WE ACTUALLY JUST WE POSTED THE HEAD POSITION WE JUST WENT THROUGH FIRST ROUND OF INTERVIEWS TODAY THIS AT THIS THIS YEAH TODAY AND WHAT I HEARD FROM OUR ASSOCIATION OF ARE THAT WE HAVE LOTS OF REALLY HIGHLY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS ON THIS POOL. HOWEVER THERE WERE THREE OUTSTANDING PEOPLE THAT BUBBLED UP AFTER FIRST ROUND OF
INTERVIEWS. I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL NOW START PROCESS FOR SECOND ROUND INTERVIEWS AND WE WANT TO MOVE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. WE CURRENTLY HAVE AN INTERIM LEADER OF SPEED IN THIS ROLE AND I KNOW THAT IT IS VERY OVERWHELMING BECAUSE HE'S NOT ONLY DOING HIS CURRENT WORK BUT HE'S ALSO TRYING TO MANAGE THE ENTIRE TEAM AND THAT IS REALLY HARD. SO THE SOONER WE HIRE THE HEAD POSITION THE SOONER WE'LL BE ABLE TO START HIRING THE REST OF THE THE TEAMS. >> THE OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO JUST BRING UP SO WE'VE HAD EXTENSIVE CONVERSATIONS GENERALLY ABOUT THE ALLOCATION OF GOALS TO SENIOR LEADERSHIP BUT WHAT WE'RE STILL MISSING I THINK IS A CONVERSATION AROUND WHAT THE MAJOR DECISIONS AND INITIATIVES ARE IN OUR DISTRICT AND HOW THOSE ARE BEING APPLIED TO OUR SENIOR LEADERSHIP. I THINK PART OF THIS IS A CONVERSATION WE'VE BEEN HAVING ONGOING ABOUT WHAT THE DISTRIBUTION OF WORK LOOKS LIKE. IT'S GREAT TO BE ABLE TO SEE HOW THE GOALS AND GUARDRAILS
ARE BEING OWNED BY SENIOR STAFF BUT I THINK A HUGE PART OF THIS CONVERSATION AROUND HOW TO HOLD FOLKS ACCOUNTABLE IN OUR DISTRICT AND AND AND IN TERMS OF LIKE WHO OWNS WHAT IS A QUESTION ABOUT THE WORK AND SO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A VERSION OF THIS THAT INCLUDES MAJOR WORK STREAMS AND AND I'LL SPECIFY THAT BY SAYING SPECIFICALLY AROUND WHAT ARE THE MAJOR DECISIONS THAT ARE BEING MADE UPCOMING AND HOW DOES THAT OVERLAY ON TOP OF THE CHART AND WHO IS OWNING THAT WORK GIVEN THAT MAJOR DECISIONS PRESUMABLY HAVE MAJOR WORKSTREAMS ATTACHED TO THEM? SO THAT'S JUST AN OSCARS POSTER FOR HOW CAN I JUST JUST REALLY QUICKLY FOR EXAMPLE OURSELVES SEE A SOUP OF OF H.R. HAS BEEN WORKING ON TRYING TO STREAMLINE HER SYSTEM AND THE THE FOLKS IN H.R. SO THAT THERE'S THERE'S GREATER COHERENCE ACROSS TEAMS YOU KNOW IF YOU WENT TO OUR ADMIN INSTITUTE THIS YEAR THE WHOLE THEME OF THE WORK IS TEAMS WE NEED TO BRING TEAMS CLOSER
TOGETHER. WE NEED TO CREATE LEADERSHIPS WITHIN OUR TEAMS SO THAT WE DO NOT STALL OURSELVES WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO MOVE THE WORK FORWARD . SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT H.R IS WORKING ON MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S BETTER STREAMLINE AND COHERENCE WITHIN THAT TEAM. THAT'S IT. BUT I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IN TERMS OF IDENTIFYING MAJOR WORK STREAMS AND MAJOR INITIATIVES THAT EACH OF THE LEADERS ARE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD IN TERM AND THEN OF COURSE ALL TOWARDS THE PURPOSE OF ACHIEVING OUR BIG GOALS. AND YET AS COMMISSIONER FISHER UM FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BRINGING FOR THIS LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY. I APPRECIATE IT AND I ECHO THE APPRECIATIONS OF PRESIDENT KIM SPECIFICALLY TO THE INTERIMS ON THIS ORG CHART. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH BECAUSE VERY OFTEN THESE ARE FOLKS WHO HAVE STEPPED UP INTO A ROLE AND HAVE BASICALLY TAKEN ON A SECOND JOB ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT THEY'VE ALREADY COMMITTED TO AND THAT'S A LOT.
SO THANK YOU TO ALL THE INTERIMS FOR THE WORK YOU ARE DOING. I ALSO WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOVERNANCE AND OPERATIONS. WE HAVE ONE EMPLOYEE THAT'S YOU AND SO THIS LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY IS GREAT BUT IT IS OUTSIDE OF OUR SCOPE TO MANAGE YOUR REPORTS AND HOW YOU SET UP YOUR ORG CHART. BUT BUT THIS LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY IS IMPORTANT IN THESE QUESTIONS ARE YET VERY IMPORTANT NOW HAVING SAID THAT, UM GOING BACK TO SPECIAL EDUCATION, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE BEEN MENTIONING SINCE TWO MINUTES LEFT I WON'T MONOLOGUE TOO MUCH HERE BUT I AM GOING TO GET ON A SOAPBOX UM WE ARE UNIQUE IN THAT WE ARE A COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION AND AN L.A. SCHOOL DISTRICT AND WE ARE A SINGLE DISTRICT SELF-PAY RIGHT AND SO VERY OFTEN THAT IN FOR MOST SCHOOL DISTRICTS THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ACCOUNTABILITY PASSED
EITHER TO THE KALPA WHICH IS VERY OFTEN HELD THE SPECIAL EDUCATION LOCAL PLAN AREA UM SOMETIMES TO THE COUNTY OFFICE OF ED FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND NOW WE ARE ALL COMPLETELY ENMESHED HERE IN S.F. USD AS ONE AND SO IN OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS THE THE SUPERINTENDENT VERY OFTEN IN A LOT OF PLACES HAS TO IF NOT REPORT AT LEAST HOLD THEMSELVES ACCOUNTABLE TO THE COUNTY OFFICE OF ED OR TO THE SELF A DIRECTOR. AND SO I SEE SOME TENSION HERE IN THIS ORG CHART WHEN YOU THE WHEN OUR SELF DIRECTOR AND OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION DIRECTOR ARE THE SAME PERSON FIRST OF ALL AND THEY ARE TWO LEVELS BELOW YOU ON YOUR CHART. SO UM COULD YOU HELP US UNDERSTAND HOW YOU ARE GOING TO HOLD YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE TO PROVIDING SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES TO ALL OF OUR STUDENTS WHEN THE PERSON WHO YOU SHOULD REPORT THAT TO IS ACTUALLY BELOW YOU ON THE ORG CHART?
THANK YOU COMMISSIONER FISCHER FOR THAT QUESTION. SO THIS IS THIS IS THE THE THE THE COMPLICATED DANCE THAT WE HAVE TO PLAY WHEN WE ARE A SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE COUNTY OFFICE OF ED AT THE SAME TIME I UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE SUPER BOWL IS MORE OF A COMPLIANCE ROLE AND THAT WE ARE THAT WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHEN COMPLIANCE IS APPROPRIATE AND HOW DO WE WORK WITH COMPLIANCE BECAUSE THE DISTRICT IS INDEPENDENT BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE DO NOT FIGURE WE DO NOT FIGURE OUT TO HOW THAT RELATIONSHIP SHOULD HAPPEN. I, I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF ED SERVICES WILL BE ABLE TO HOLD THE ROLE OF SUPPORT FOR THE SPED THE HEAD OF SPECIAL EDUCATION AND SUPPORT THE HEAD OF SPECIAL EDUCATION TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY AS THE SLP A DIRECTOR TO TO TO BRING THE BUDGET AND THE OVERSIGHT TO THE TABLE WHEN IT COMES TIME FOR US TO LOOK AT THE BUDGET AND THE
COMPLIANCE ROLE THAT IS LEGALLY REQUIRED OF THE DISTRICT. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT. AND THAT COMPLIANCE PIECE IS EXCEPTIONALLY IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT WE HAVE BEEN SANCTIONED BY THE STATE FOR BEING SIGNIFICANTLY DISPROPORTIONATE WHICH HAPPENS WHEN THE FINDINGS OCCUR YEAR OVER YEAR OVER YEAR FOR OVER SUSPENDING OUR OUR BLACK BOYS IN PARTICULAR AND OUR DISPARATE OUTCOMES THE WAY WE WE PUT TOO MANY YOUTH OF COLOR INTO EMOTIONAL DISABILITY AND OTHER HEALTH IMPAIRMENT AND SO THERE'S WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO. SO I APPRECIATE THAT YOU NAMED THAT AND ARE WILLING TO DO THAT WORK. COMMISSIONER RAY THANK YOU ALSO FOR ALL THE WORK INVOLVED IN PUTTING THIS TOGETHER AND ESPECIALLY FOR IDENTIFY TRYING ALL THESE FOLKS AND WHERE THEY FIT ON THE OR OF DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS AND DIVISIONS. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS ONE OF WHICH RELATES TO THAT FULLER ORG CHART HAVING LINKS TO CONTACT PEOPLE THAT'S FANTASTIC .
IT HELPS TO YOU KNOW HELPS TO FACILITATE COMMUNICATION. PEOPLE ARE OFTEN WONDERING WHO THEY CAN CONTACT AND HOW THEY CAN CONTACT THEM. IT'S NOT A COMPLETE SOLUTION BUT IT'S A HUGE YOU KNOW, IT'S A HUGE STEP IN THAT DIRECTION. I AM WONDERING WHAT EXPECTATIONS THERE WILL BE FOR FOLKS TO ACTUALLY RESPOND IF THEY ARE CONTACTED. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, COMMISSIONER RAY AND I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN NUDGING US SUGGESTING THAT WE HAVE BETTER COMMUNICATION POLICIES AND FOLLOW THROUGH. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE STILL NEED TO WORK ON BUT I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT AS WE GET BETTER AT ENGAGING WITH OUR COMMUNITY AS WE GET BETTER AT BASIC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND KNOW THAT THAT IS THE EXPECTATION THAT I HAVE OF OUR STAFF, WE WILL BE BETTER AT RESPONDING TO EMAILS. >> DO YOU HAVE ANY SORT OF PLAN OR THINKING IN MIND ABOUT HOW YOU KNOW HOW TO COMMUNICATE THAT EXPECTATION TO FOLKS? AS A MATTER OF FACT THIS
THURSDAY WILL BE THE FIRST MEETING OF THE SUPERINTENDENT LEADERSHIP TEAM AND THAT IS GOING TO BE OUR KICKOFF OF WHAT THE EXPECTATIONS ARE FROM ME AND THE VISION THAT WE WANT OUR TEAM TO HOLD AND AND CULTURE CHANGE IS VERY KEY WITHIN OUR DISTRICT NOW AND MAKING SURE THAT WE DO EMBRACE A TRUE CUSTOMER SERVICE APPROACH TO THE WORK THAT WE DO ENSURING THAT THERE IS TIMELY RESPONSE TO EMAILS AND QUESTIONS FROM OUR FROM THE PUBLIC OR FROM OUR STAFF OR FROM OUR FAMILIES BUT AT THE SAME TIME HOLDING OURSELVES RESPONSIBLE FOR OUTCOMES THAT THAT WE NEED TO DELIVER ON. SORRY. THANK YOU. I ALSO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT VACANCIES THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN BROUGHT UP TO SOME EXTENT HERE. ANOTHER ANGLE ON THIS WHEN WE HAVE VACANCIES PARTICULARLY IN HIGHER LEVEL POSITIONS, WHO DO THE FOLKS UNDERNEATH THAT VACANT POSITION WHO ARE THEY
REPORTING TO? IN MANY CASES THERE'S NOT EVEN AN INTERIM INDICATED. AND SO WHAT ARE THEY EXPECTED TO DO AND WHO IS SORT OF OVERSEEING THEIR WORK? SO IF YOU GO TO THE SLIDE WHERE WE WHERE I SHOWED THIS THIS ONCE AGAIN THE SUPERINTENDENT LEADERSHIP TEAM AS AS FROM FROM FROM STAFF ALL THE WAY UP, THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LEADING EACH OF THE DIVISIONS OR THE DEPARTMENTS IDEALLY AND I BELIEVE BECAUSE I WENT THROUGH ALL 6868 SLIDES HERE I BELIEVE THAT THAT EVERY EVERY BOX IS REPORTING TO A MANAGER OR A SITE LEADER OR A SENIOR LEADER AND AT THE END OF THE DAY IF THERE ISN'T AN IDENTIFIED PERSON IT IS REPORTED THEY ARE THAT PERSON IS REPORTING TO SOMEONE ON THE SUPERINTENDENTS LEADERSHIP TEAM. SO JUST TO TAKE AN EXAMPLE HERE FOR INSTANCE THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT SURFACES IS VACANT SO IF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT HAS A WHO ARE WHO ARE THEY REPORTING TO OR WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
OVERSEEING THEM? AND IF WE LOOK AT LIKE THIS IS THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STUDENT AND FAMILY SERVICES THAT POSITIONS VACANT TOO SO EVERYBODY UNDER THEM WHO ARE THEY GOING TO AND WHO IS OVERSEEING THEM? RIGHT. SO RIGHT NOW THE HEAD OF SPECIAL ED THERE IS AN INTERIM PERSON IN THERE RIGHT NOW THERE IS AN INTERIM PERSON WITHIN THE ASSISTANT SUPE OF OF STUDENT AND FAMILY SERVICES DIVISION THERE IS NOT A HEAD OF OPERATIONS. HOWEVER, WE ARE ABOUT TO POST THAT POSITION NOW THERE IS AN INTERIM WITHIN THE TECHNOLOGY SERVICES OFFICER. WE JUST POSTED THE ASSISTANT SUPER FOR FISCAL CASE CFO. HOWEVER THERE IS SOMEONE THAT WAS WORKING IN THERE AS AN INTERIM AND THE REST ARE ARE FILLED POSITIONS OKAY I MEAN DIRECTLY WHAT I'M ASKING IS IF A PERSON UNDER FOR EXAMPLE THE ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF STUDENT AND FAMILY SERVICES WHICH IS A VACANT POSITION AND THEN ALSO THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT EDUCATION SERVICES THE VACANT POSITION WHO ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
UNDERNEATH THAT ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT, STUDENT FAMILY SERVICES SUPPORTS TO REPORT TO AND WHO'S OVERSEEING THEIR WORK JUST AS ONE EXAMPLE. >> SO THERE IS AN INTERIM PERSON IN THAT ROLE AS A THE ASSISTANT SUPE OF OF OF STUDENT FAMILIES AND SERVICES DIVISION. >> OKAY SO MAYBE IT'S NOT ACTUALLY VACANT. >> IT'S OKAY. IT'S I MEAN SO THIS IS THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF THIS IT'S VACANT BUT THERE IS AN INTERIM IN THAT IN THAT ROLE THERE'S AN INTERIM PERSON THAT WE DID NOT LIST AND I GUESS I COULD LIST AND YOU WILL YOU WILL SEE KAREN'S NAME IF YOU DO THE DOUBLE CLICK INTO THE THE SECTION THAT IS STUDENT FAMILIES AND SERVICES DIVISION I SO IS IT IS IT MORE OR LESS ACCURATE TO SAY THAT EVEN IF IT'S VACANT THERE IS SOMEBODY WHO IS SERVING IN AN INTERIM ROLE? YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. >> THE LAST QUESTION I HAD RELATES TO THE THE SORT OF LEADERSHIP OR THE WELL, ACTUALLY THIS ONE WILL WORK. I SEE DOTTED LINES IN SOME PLACES CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DOTTED LINES? >> ACTUALLY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FOR ASKING THAT QUESTION. SO THE DOTTED LINE TO THE
GENERAL COUNCIL IS IS THAT I JOINTLY SUPERVISE AND SUPPORT SUPERVISE THE GENERAL COUNSEL WITH THE BOARD AND THERE IS A THERE'S A DIFFERENT TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE GENERAL COUNSEL AND THE SUPERINTENDENT. THE OTHER DOTTED LINE IS ACTUALLY REALLY IMPORTANT AND I ACTUALLY HAVE IT IN MY NOTES TO TALK ABOUT IF I NEGLECTED TO TALK ABOUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE AND BE CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT THE INITIATIVE OF THAT THAT WE HAVE IN THIS DISTRICT FOR MANY YEARS THE OUR AFRICAN-AMERICAN ACHIEVEMENT LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE A PRIORITY FOR THIS DISTRICT SERVING AND ENSURING OUR AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENTS CONTINUE AND WILL BE A PRIORITY FOR THIS DISTRICT. AS SUCH, I WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE REGULAR CHECK INS AND SUPPORTS WITH OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MS.. LETITIA IRVING IN SUPPORTING HER ON THE POLICY OF OUR ALLEY WORK. HOWEVER, I ALSO AM ASKING THAT
SHE WILL REPORT DIRECTLY TO OUR DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF ED SERVICES BECAUSE WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS ENSURE THAT THE INTEGRATION OF INSTRUCTION HAPPENS TO SUPPORT OUR AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT. IT SHOULD NOT JUST SIT OUT SIDE AS AS JUST A POLICY BODY. IT NEEDS TO BE INTEGRATED WITHIN OUR EDUCATIONAL SERVICES SUCH A DIVISION BECAUSE THAT IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THE NEEDLE ON OUR AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENTS PARTICULARLY AROUND THIRD GRADE, THIRD GRADE READING, EIGHTH GRADE MATH COLLEGE CAREER READINESS. SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE A SPECIAL BOX AROUND MS.. IRVING'S NAME THERE WHERE SHE IS GOING TO BE CO SUPERVISED BY MYSELF AS WELL AS OUR DEPUTY SUPERINTEND OF ED SERVICES. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER YEAH, THANK YOU. IT'S EXCITING TO SEE THE CONTINUING PROGRESS AROUND DEVELOPING MORE TRANSPARENCY AROUND THESE ORG CHARTS AND I SO I MAINLY JUST HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR NEXT STEPS I I SEE THE THAT THERE THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE EMAIL LINKS ATTACHED AND SO FORTH.
I THINK THE OTHER PIECE THAT WILL BE REALLY HELPFUL BOTH FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AS WELL AS S OF US THE EMPLOYEES IS A DESCRIPTION OF WHAT PEOPLE'S ROLE IS BECAUSE IT'S NOT ALWAYS TOTALLY CLEAR LIKE THERE'S POSITIONS ON HERE LIKE MANAGER OR AND DIRECTOR AND IN THE IN THESE DIFFERENT CENTRAL DEPARTMENTS AND I GET I AS A BOARD MEMBER GET REQUESTS FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PEOPLE TO EMAIL ME AND SAY WELL I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS THING ADDRESSED AND I HAVE NO IDEA I LOOK I LOOK AT THE WORK CHART AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHO TO SEND THEM TO, RIGHT? >> SO I THINK IF SOMEONE COULD GO THROUGH THIS WITH AN EYE TOWARD I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S FAMILY LINK LINE PEOPLE OR SOMEBODY WITH AN EYE TO SAYING I HAVE A PROBLEM, I WANT THIS THING, I NEED TO KNOW WHO TO TALK TO, HOW THERE NEEDS TO BE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO TO FIGURE THAT OUT. AND I THINK THAT'S MY CONTINUING FRUSTRATION IS I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GO TO THE BOARD OFFICE OR COME TO THE SUPERINTENDENTS SAYING WHO DO I GO TO? LIKE I WANT TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT A DOCUMENT AND SAY I KNOW ENOUGH TO BE LIKE OH YEAH, IT'S PROBABLY THAT PERSON. >> YOU KNOW?
SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE MY REQUEST BECAUSE THERE'S AND THERE'S ALSO LIKE EDUCATIONAL JARGON ON HERE LIKE THERE'S A SLIDE THAT ONE OF THE SLIDES IN THE IT TALKS ABOUT THE EXCEL PROGRAM. I KNOW WHAT THAT IS I'M AN EDUCATOR BUT MOST PARENTS DON'T KNOW WHAT EXCEL IS AND SO IT'S LIKE HOW TO HOW TO THINKING ABOUT SOMEBODY WHO'S JUST A PARENT OR A TEACHER OR SOMEBODY JUST TRYING TO NAVIGATE AND FIND THE RIGHT PERSON TO TALK TO I THINK WOULD BE A REALLY GOOD LENS TO JUST ADD A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION AND MAKE THIS REALLY USEFUL. THANK YOU. MR. ALEXANDER AND I ACTUALLY THINK THAT THAT'S A BRILLIANT IDEA AND WE DO HAVE INTRO SLIDES TO EACH OF THE THE ORG CHARTS FOR EACH OF THE DIVISIONS AND MAYBE IN THAT INTRO SLIDE WE ADD SOME BLURBS ABOUT HERE'S LIKE THE GENERAL HELP EMAIL THAT YOU CAN SEND TO RIGHT YEAH FOR DEPARTMENT HAS THE GENERAL EMAIL OR IF IT'S LIKE FOR THESE KIND OF QUESTIONS CONTACT THIS PERSON THAT COULD EVEN BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL SLIDE I MEAN JUST WHATEVER INFORMATION WOULD BE
USEFUL TO GUIDE PEOPLE WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL. THAT'S A GREAT SUGGESTION AND WE SHALL WORK ON THAT. YEAH. COMMISSIONER WEISSMAN WORD DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? I DON'T THINK YOU THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ? ACT COMMISSIONER ALL YEAR I KNOW MY THREE MINUTES IS UP BUT I WOULD JUST SAY ON ON COMMISSIONER ALEXANDER'S NOTE BENCHMARK THE SPEED WEBSITE AND THE CONTACT US SECTION THAT IS A GREAT LIST THERE ALL THE CONTENT SPECIALISTS AND THE SUPERVISORS BY SCHOOL SO WHEN FAMILIES THAT'S A GREAT BENCHMARK OF HOW TO REACH PEOPLE WE'RE ALL WORKING TOWARDS THAT THREE MINUTES HERE. >> COMMISSIONER FISHER BUT I DO THINK THAT'S A GOOD POINT. SO THERE MAY BE EXAMPLES ALREADY IN THE DISTRICT AND THEY COULD JUST BE SAYING USE THAT YES, LIKE LONG BEACH I HATE TO ALWAYS USE LANGUAGE AS AN EXAMPLE BUT LONG BEACH HAD A VERSION OF THIS ON THEIR WEBSITE SO EACH DEPARTMENT HAD THIS BASICALLY ON A WEB PAGE
WITH THE NAME PHONE NUMBER AND EMAIL OF THE EMPLOYEES AND IT KIND OF HAD A BRIEF LINE AS TO WHAT THEIR TITLE WAS. SO ANYWAY, THAT MAY BE TOO COMPLICATED FOR RIGHT NOW. I MEAN MAYBE IT HAS TO BE IN THIS DOC BUT WHATEVER THE FORM IS IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL ALREADY. THANK YOU SO MUCH SUPERINTENDENT SUE I'M GOING TO MOVE US ON TO ITEM H ACTION ITEMS ITEM 1258-12 ESP ONE EMERGENCY DECLARATION AND DELEGATION TO SUPERINTENDENT OR DESIGNEE TO ENTER INTO CONTRACTS FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ABATEMENT AT MISSION EDUCATION CENTER KIND OF A MOTION A SECOND PLEASE. SOME OF SECOND I CALL ON THE SUPERINTENDENT TO READ THIS INTO THE RECORD AND I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO HAND IT RIGHT OVER TO MS.. KAREN SULLIVAN, OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES AND CAPITAL PLANNING. OKAY. THANK YOU. THIS EMERGENCY RESOLUTION IS RELATED TO CONSTRUCTION WORK THAT IS CURRENTLY ONGOING AT THE MISSION EDUCATION CENTER ON MARCH IN MARCH 2025, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION APPROVED A CONTRACT NOT TO EXCEED APPROXIMATELY 500 AND TO THOUSAND DOLLARS TO COMPLETE WATERPROOFING WORK AT THE SITE.
WATERPROOFING WORK WAS THE SCOPE WAS TO COMPLETE WORK ON THE NORTHWEST, SOUTH AND NORTH NORTHEASTERN CORNER OF THE BUILDING. DURING THE COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION THERE WERE ISSUES IDENTIFIED ON THE EASTERN WALL THAT WILL REQUIRE THE PLAZA THAT WILL REQUIRE THE PLASTER TO BE REPLACED. THE SCOPE OF WORK INCLUDES THE REMOVAL OF THE EXISTING PLASTER WATERPROOFING AROUND THE WINDOWS, REPAIR OF PLYWOOD PANELS THAT HAVE DRYWALL AND THEN RE POSTURING OF THE ENTIRE EASTERN ELEVATION. THE COST TO MAKE THESE REPAIRS IS ESTIMATED AT APPROXIMATELY 365,000 WHICH EXCEEDS 10% OF THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT AMOUNT. THIS WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE WITHOUT REBIDDING BECAUSE THE CONTRACTOR IS ALREADY ON SITE AND CAN EXPEDITIOUSLY COMPLETE THE WORK. GOING OUT TO BID WOULD RESULT IN A SUBSTANTIAL DELAY AND WITH THE EASTERN WITH THE EASTERN WALL EXPOSED THERE COULD BE WATER DAMAGE THAT WOULD FURTHER COMPROMISE THE BUILDING ENVELOPE. THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE AND THE REPAIRS ARE NECESSARY TO PROTECT THE SAFETY OF STUDENTS AND STAFF AND SO THIS
RESOLUTION ASKS THE BOARD TO ALLOW THE DISTRICT TO BYPASS THE COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCEDURES FOR THIS WORK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
