Board votes: minutes, PLAN commendation, calendar, administrators’ contract and pay items approved

San Francisco — During its Nov. 13, 2007 meeting, the San Francisco Board of Education recorded a series of formal actions and roll call votes on consent and special order items.

Minutes: The board moved, seconded and approved the minutes of the Oct. 9, 2007 regular meeting by roll call; the clerk announced the vote as unanimous.

PLAN commendation: After Commissioner Marr read a resolution honoring the Bay Area Parent Leadership Action Network (PLAN) and recognizing Maria Luce Torre and Lina Avedon, the board adopted the commendation by unanimous roll call.

Instructional calendar: The board adopted the 2008–2009 instructional calendar, which includes recognition of Lunar New Year as a school and child‑development center holiday (district remains operational). The roll call was recorded as six ayes.

United Administrators tentative agreement: The board authorized the district to enter into a tentative agreement with United Administrators, reached through interest‑based bargaining and ratified by their membership (reported ratification: 98%). The motion passed by roll call (vote recorded as six ayes on the transcript).

Wages and benefits for unrepresented and management employees: With the prior bargaining settlements in place, the board approved wage and benefit adjustments for designated unrepresented confidential employees and for management groups (applying terms similar to those granted to United Administrators and other settled units). These measures were adopted by roll call votes reported as ayes by the clerk.

Property sale procedural outcome: The board opened and conducted oral bidding for 700 Font Boulevard but postponed final acceptance to an adjourned session within 10 days. The oral auction reached an apparent high of $20,100,000; final acceptance and any binding contract will be handled at the reconvened meeting and in accordance with Education Code procedures.
