enrolled in the san francisco public school system, all of the money is still there. it is all still growing. a letter, they would not be eligible for any of the incentives eligible for the enrolled students at that year at that time. they would not be eligible for those. if they were ever to come back into the school district, they would join the class that they were with and receive whatever incentives were made available then. commissioner maufas: and if they left, can they make deposits? treasurer cisneros: yes, we will always have the money there for them. the only thing that would change is the incentives, which are only available for those enrolled in the san francisco's system. president mendoza: thank you, treasurer cisneros.

www.k2sf -- if you indulge me, i want to read the list that appear on the website. carmichael, dr. george carter, george chaves, drew, guadalupe, francis scott key, malcolm x, john muir, tenderloin, and others. i think it is important that the community know which schools are eligible, and i am so pleased that 311, if you dial 311, you should be able to get information about this service. 311 is the city-wide number for any kind of cities service, and then on the website, says that school secretaries are also the contact, so i just want to make sure that has happened --

citywide number for any kind of cities service -- city cervic -- service. >> we have netratings for teachers. we have that training is also for the clerical staff -- we have had trainings for teachers. we have met with the principles. also, we have maur outreach to do. the trash were met with the assistant superintendents to enlist their support. about 54% of the consent forms have come back. i do want to commend sanchez elementary for being 100% enrolled. it might say 96% on the website, but the doctor informed me that that is 100%. the one person that did not enroll does not go there anymore, so they are actually at 100%.

president mendoza: student delegate creer. student delegate creer: it is crazy how expensive this is. i was wondering, what about for immigrant families that did not go to kindergarten here in the united states, in this district? how are you planning to deal with that, and what are your plans for this to the years that have been passed already. treasurer cisneros: so your question is how we can broaden the pool for those for whom we are opening accounts, and that is an excellent question, too. we want to allow them to have this over their entire 12 to 13-

year academic career. however, we can see where it would be very, very nice to be able to walk for accounts to students to transfer into the district, maybe at some level -- very nice to be able to offer accounts to students who transfer into the district. one of the things we will be looking at is to do some extra fundraising, to offer another part of the program that will allow other family members orchids to catch up and receive an account also, or like you say, to be able to join their classmates as an account holder in grades one, two, or three, or something like the -- other family members also to catch up. an excellent question. president mendoza: thank you. commissioner wynns? commissioner wynns: but the

ticker leewood to note -- i particularly want to note being eligible for refunds. -- for the funds. i am presuming that you have in front of you all of the materials, the outreach materials, for the parents. i would like to be able to get that when i return. treasurer cisneros: state you, commissioner, for all of your kind words -- thank you, commissioner. we will share it with the commissioners, as well. most everything is available on the website. i do not know if we can show the website, on the overheads, but it is, as you heard before,

k2csf.org. there is a picture of it on the screen for those of you who can see that. there is also contact information 2311 or a people can ask for emails. -- information to 311. if we can, perhaps we can show the news report. >> san francisco mayor gavin newsom doing a classroom sharron tel -- show and tell with five- year olds. >> to go to college, do you think it costs more than $5? probably. so you need a lot of these to go to college. >> he has come here because starting next year, every corner

-- kindergartner here will get a savings accounts, courtesy of taxpayers. >> we have never heard of anything like this. what a nice backdrop. everyone is talking about budget cuts. >> the program, which will take several years to implement, is fairly modest. they will get $50 to start, $100 for some others. as an added incentive, a private company will contribute for every dollar that is saved by the families, at least for the first few years. >> interest and compounds, it is still not going to be enough money. -- interest and compounding. we really need to help and auckland the saving so they grow year after year after year -- we really need to help and augment the savings. officials like to point to a

study from washington university found that children that just adds some money set aside for college where seven times more likely to go. >> this latino father says he wants to send his two children to college, but like many parents, has not save for it and is intimidated by the cost. -- has not saved for it. >> the hispanic community in san francisco, many do not even have access to a checking it down or is city's accounts, -- or a savings account. there is going to be an independent analysis to see if this works, and other members of the community are going to say, "i would love to contribute to " you watch. this thing is going to take off. -- i would love to contribute." you watch. >> out of the $6 billion budget,

the dollar's see miniscule, especially if it works. -- the dollar's -- dollars seem minuscule, especially if it works. cnn, san francisco. [applause] president mendoza: thank you. i do not see any further questions or comments, but i did want to extend my one gratitude, as well. when you brought this -- my warm gratitude, as well. it actually took a couple of years to get off the ground, and as we all know, during these tough budget times, these are not the kinds of conversations that people are ready to have, but i think what we're doing in san francisco is by showing what we are doing for our kids. in san francisco unified, we are making sure they have the tools to get there, and this is a wonderful program that will

enhance what we are already doing and really make sure they get across the finish line, so i am just pleased to be part of this initiative and to really have a great partner in the treasurer's office and in the city. mr. truitt? >> we cannot underestimate the passion and a contribution and enthusiasm and everything behind treasurer cisneros. i work with many of the city agencies on a number of projects, and this is certainly one of the most positive and enthusiastic projects that i have worked on, and, again, it is what we all -- it is our job to make sure our kids go to college. somebody at the city level who has got 1 million things to do, 1 million things on his plate, going the extra step for our kids, making sure that everyone gets behind this, i am really thankful for that.

i think we are of very fortunate for that. we are paving the way to do something that others have not done. we have seen other cities that have attempted to do this, and they have not gotten it up and running, and i think we are very fortunate, and i do not want to underestimate the passion and enthusiasm of treasurer cisneros. president mendoza: and i just want to acknowledge your staff. you have a terrific staff. i also wanted to thank supervisors -- supervisor bevan dufty as well as supervisor campos, so thanks to gavin newsom, and also jose cisneros. i am sure we will of some great results.

commissioner: we really do have to work together to pass the dream act so we can bring all of our dreams to reality. thank you. treasurer cisneros: thank you. president mendoza: you are welcome to come any time. we have one speaker on this. >> thank you very much. it is a pleasure to follow treasury -- treasurer cisneros. another thing i would like to call your attention to is affecting very, very young children. i like following treasurer cisneros, because as a recent grandfather of triplets, this program is very important, and

when you sit in the back of the room, and you do the math, when he says it really gets you going, that is really all that it does. we need special incentives there. if you look at the very bottom of page 23 on your agenda, you see there is $1,310 being given to the toddler program, and that is essentially to help the folks that are not our members. these are folks who are currently under represented in who works in the family service agency. they are attempting -- and who work in the family service agency. i think it is very important to look at what we are doing with these people who work with the very youngest children that we have, the children literally of our children, and try to provide for them so they can do as good a job as possible. and then if you look at the bottom of page 24, i have a

concern there for the transfer of funds. at lincoln high school, that is going from certificated certified hours to consultants' fees. the building representatives and i asked the principal kirsten to look at the figures for these, and it turns out -- principal there to look at the figures for these. they have money left over. they are allocated towards a summer funds, despite that, we of consultants' fees of $29,000 that have been going additionally, it seems, from this, and then there is some confusion about when this was actually put in, whether this was put in last may as a change back then or if this is something that has been

requested more recently. and also, the involvement of the school counselor in the rearrangement of this money remains murky, in my mind, also. you have $29,000, and with that money, they were doing after- school programs. they were doing things like credit recovery, and those things, you should have certificated employees doing that kind of work. now, we are moving to a cbo that is funded separately through the city. through the school district. and it seems unless all of their credit recovery is taking care of, unless everything is already in place, i do not understand why this money is being shifted over. speaking of credit recovery, part of that is the cyber high school program, and as i program the high schools, i have not found a principle yet who can

tell me who is in charge of cyber high-school, or what the directions are for running cyber high school. they are making a valiant effort to make sure the kids can use the program to recover from failed grades, but there does not seem to be a uniform plan throughout the city on how to use that and what we are doing with that program, so thank you very much for your attention. president mendoza: thank you. item g is the consent calendar. i need a motion. >> we have one item to withdraw. in 1 is11-25k8 on page 83. president mendoza: any items removed from first reading by the board? seeing none, any items severed

by the board? commissioner murase? commissioner murase: i would like to sever some. president mendoza: i am sorry. b2, and what was your other item? commissioner murase: w16. president mendoza: 2f. i am sorry. b2 -- item 2b and 2f. commissioner murase: and 2 1 -- w one through 16.

president mendoza: ok. any others? so i need a roll-call vote. i am sorry. item h. item h is the superintendent's proposal. this is item 111-11sp1, the approval of the public education enrichment fund expenditure plan for the school year 2011-2012. we need a reading of the resolution. is that going to be done by cathy? >> good evening, commissioners.

my name is kathy fleming. i am the program administrator. with your permission, i will read the item into the record and skid down to the result. -- skip down to the result. do what have your permission? president mendoza: any objection, colleagues? >> ok. 111-11sp1, be it resolved that we commend the hard work and thoughtful recommendations from the community advisory committee, the arts education steering committee, an advisory committee, the physical education master plan steering committee, and all of the staff members who contributed to the success of these, and therefore be it resolved that the board of education of the san francisco unified school district approves the spending

plan for 2011-2012 school year after examining the recommendations from the staff and advisory committees, and be it further resolved that this spending plan may be amended during the district's development, budget development process, based on availability of state funding. the superintendent has requested to inform the board of supervisors that such amendments could occur. i would like to have the of the presenters to they introduced themselves, please. -- the other presenters. >> good afternoon. i oversee this program within our office. >> hi, my name is walter chang. i am the evaluator. >> i would like to read a report to you, and then i will turn it

over to walter, who has some information to share with you tonight. president mendoza: i am sorry. walter, you are the program evaluator from -- >> i work with the accountability department. president mendoza: ok, thank you. >> commissioners, a brief description of the information that was placed before you tonight. we have a packet, and the first is the 2011-2012 proposal, and that is followed by the information you have requested, which are a detailed side-by- side comparison of the 2011-2012 proposal, as compared to the 2010-2011 proposal, followed by detailed information on the new in kind services that are included in the 2011-2012 plan, and finally, a summary of the 2009-2010 and extended funds per program in that area.

and it just for the members you or the folks in the audience, we do have the materials in the doorway for you, copies. ok, in march 2004, san francisco voters, with the approval of over 70% of the electorate, passed proposition h, which established the public education in richmond fund -- in richmond funds. -- enrichment fund. funding at the state and federal level was decreasing. this provides critical funding to improve the quality of education for the youth in san francisco. the first third of the total fund is allocated and is overseen by san francisco first five to support preschool.

the remaining two thirds is overseen by our district. the second third is sports, library, arts, and music. and the last third, also known as the third third or other general uses, funds in general support programs, including wellness centers, translation, interpretation services, restored to the justice, and custodial services. -- restorative justice, and custodial services. it also has a detailed budget for the entire allocation. the allocation for 2011-2012 is anticipated to reflect a 25% reduction, and this would be the fourth year of the reduction, as stipulated in the charter when the city's budget had a shortfall of $100 million or

more, 25% can be deferred. in addition, we have a second reduction this year, and this is the second year this is in place, because the charter says that for the fiscal year 2010- 2011, until 2014-2015, the contribution shall equal the total contribution for the prior year, adjusted for the estimated increase or decrease in the city's discretionary general fund. the estimated 2011-2012 allocation of $29.30 million, which is in this budget -- the 2010 allocation estimate of june 2010. which would represent the prior year. the 2011-2012 will be finalized by the comptroller's office in november of 2011, when the city's discretionary revenue is

finalized. district staff has prepared the 2011-2012 expenditure proposal based on proposals submitted by each program that received funding for the 2010-2011 year. each proposal received a review and approval by the appropriate superintended as well as the executive team. proposals are based on master plans for sports, arts, and music, for the slam plans. general infrastructure and others are funded at the same level as 2011 in order to maintain current staffing and programming. the budget also includes reserve funding to address the continued reductions at the state level. sf board resolution stipulates that each year, with support, the public education enrichment committee will provide

recommendations to the superintendent to inform the impact of this and to assist in his development of the spending plan. on november 1, 2010, they submitted their recommendations to the superintendent, and later, on november 9, presented their recommendations to the board of education. the 2011-2012 from the superintendent reflects the input from all program managers, the district staff, and are based on anticipated revenues from the city as well as the district's needs. the total amount is $29.30 million, which is an increase over the budgeted amount for 2010-2011. i would remind you that these are estimates and not final. 2011-2012 allocation, that will be finalized in 2011. the proposal includes approximately 194.4 fte's

certificate, who provide services to all k-12 sites. there is no sin to the increase over last year's plan. -- no significant increase over last year's plan. this includes 2.2 million in in kind services. the in kind services represents 7.75% of the total allocation, which is consistent with previous years. this will be the fourth year that we have had this percentage. the remaining funds and other general uses, a total of $4.80 million, are to be directed to the reserve fund to help reduce the impact of state budgets. this does not affect any of the salm, which is to reserve one- third of the allocation -- this does not affect any of st. -- of

the slam. there are questions raised about the proposal before you. we submitted three detail reports over the weekend, and you have them before you. there is the side by side budget comparison of this year's budget to next year's proposal and highlighting significant changes. the in kind services report, which itemizes and discusses the new in kind services, and as i mentioned, the carry over report for the third programs only. so at this point, we will turn it over to mr. walter chang, and after that, we are happy to answer any questions you may have, and all of the fabulous program managers are here tonight, so we want to thank them for showing up again, and we do appreciate their support. thank you.

>> hi, so if you could refer to the landscape sheet, i will basically go over the three sheets that we put together for you guys. just to get a sense of the first -- well, the landscape. it deals with the evaluation process, and what actually has been happening in the past and currently, so, basically, we start out with the 14 different programs that are pretty unique. so we develop a logic model, and that consists of monetary outputs, program activities, and through the program activities, we come up with
