have any choice but to proceed with all the steps we would otherwise take if the tax extensions were not approved. we cannot really rely it -- it is dangerous to rely on something that speculative. that would include layoff notifications for office staff. one note on that is that we do want to look at the impact of layoffs on individual schools as much as possible. there has been some legal developments with the aclu that may have changed the context somewhat on this issue, the impact of the disproportionate impact of layoffs on severely impacted schools. this is the next slide. it shows some of the steps we have taken since last year to provide additional flexibility to site-based budgets. we have four block grants we

have loosened the purse strings on. schools have given us feedback that this is appreciated. we have done two things. we have let the schools have discretion to spend those resources on a wider variety of uses. we have committed that they can carry over unspent balances from one year to the next. this by no means solves the problems of the schools are facing. but the help incrementally. they do seem to be appreciated. the last slide is a draft budget development time line. it is very high level. there is a school planning summit for saturday. there is preliminary notification for certificate and layoffs. notices would be issued by march

15. the school budgets will be due march 24. the notification of certificate employees would take place by may 14. in may and june, the superintendents' recommended budget would be revised based on updated projections, as well as perhaps the fate of the election, if it is called on june 7. finally, as you do every year, the board of education would be asked to adopt a budget for the next fiscal year at your second regular board meeting in june, which is june 28. i will stop there. if commissioners have questions,

i will try to answer. president mendoza: does anyone have questions? commissioner norton: when will we know if there is going to be an election called in june, when the legislature has to act? >> our understanding is that would have to be determined sometime in march. i do not have a specific date. i am looking at nancy. it would have to be determined sometime in march, as i understand it. commissioner murase: my comment is based on mr. lee's analysis of the dependent deduction. if the tax extensions pass, families are being asked to pay for a family of four -- this

would continue that additional burden. what that buys us -- it is a difference of $311 per student. for a school of 500 students, we are talking about $155,000. we are looking at least two teachers at every school being laid off. >> there are a few different variables. with the first scenario, the impact of $19 per 88 reduction, holding all the other cost variables aside, would be a

little more than [unintelligible] with scenario b, that is in addition to the $19. it would be an additional reduction, $349 total. that is between $18 million and $19 million of additional reduction for the district in scenario b. president mendoza: any other questions? anything further on this item? superintendent garcia: i am depressed now. president mendoza: let us all go home now. thank you. next item?

superintendent garcia: we kind of wanted to give some of our partners a little bit of time to discuss our after-school partnerships. i would like to call associate superintendent kevin. come on down. >> good evening, superintendent, president mendoza, and board of education. i would like to introduce three of our collaborative groups that we work with on after-school programs and with cbo groups. i have had the pleasure of being able to meet with these groups over the past couple of years, some of them. i would like them to take a few minutes to tell you a little bit about the programs and work we have been doing around after school and community-based

organizations that are partnerships. i would like to call them up. first, i would like to introduce a representative from the san francisco after school time coalition. the san francisco out of school time coalition is a group of organizations that work in partnership to provide after- school programs in schools. myself and my district afterschool manager have been working closely with this group to develop strong procedures for the partnership to improve communication between the district and the community. vivian scott, the program manager from the richmond district, is the coalition chair. she is here to tell you more about our work. >> good evening, board and

superintendent. it has been a long night, so i will try to stay bubbly but brief. my name is vivian scott. i am the program manager. i currently served as chair of the san francisco out of school time coalition. i want to talk about what the coalition does. we are an ally group of community-based organizations which administer after-school programs in the district, of which there are about 30 agencies. our members serve 13,000 used annually at over 90 schools, applying approximately $11 million to provide balanced, supportive, and safe after- school program in four public school students. i have literature on postcards i want to pass out at the end of this. i want to take a brief moment to talk about what we believe in

and some of the organizations we work with. mine has been doing this for a long time, some for 30 years, some for more than that. we believe afterschool is central not just to formal education, but to growth as happy and well-grounded human beings. our vision of after-school is that it the collaborative, a meaningful, support mastery, and expand horizons. we are proud to offer the plethora of programming we do. there is dance, cap zero era -- capoeira, visual arts. we are happy to introduce ourselves now and to inform you of the double sides of our mission as a coalition. on the one hand, we are all about forging a united and unified voice and serving as an

advocacy presence of the cbos. another important and essential part of what we do is to serve as a productive partner to develop afterschool guidelines. in has been about a year since we formed. we of had the pleasure of working with area superintendents and legal departments. this is in addition to the effective and fund meetings we have with kevin schroeder. i am saying that to butter you up. [applause] -- [laughter] in each of these instances, we have been pleased to be able to collaborate meaningfully with the district and to make afterschool services the best that can be from both sides, both the district and the cbo. we invite you to contact us and

ask us questions. we are now a unified voice providing this programming. employ us in an equally meaningful way to give san francisco unified school district families what they need and deserve from the work we do. we are dedicated to working alongside you. thank you for your time. >> i applaud their efforts. we have issues with after-school we have to look at seriously, but we are fortunate to have the caliber of people we do. i feel very fortunate to have the relationship we are building with them. second, i would like to introduce sandra dunn, who is going to share in the after- school council. that is the council i code-chair alongside natasha -- co-chair alongside natasha haynes. they have been working on ways to enhance partnerships between

schools and cbos. the want to enhance the quality of programs, in terms of building a citywide infrastructure to support equality of partnerships. the cbos have benefited from working collaboratively around this table. sandra will tell you a little more about the work. he received a folder with important and concise information about the work of after school for all council. >> i am one of the co-chairs for this "after school for all" effort. it has been around for a little more than five years. it has aimed to be the big tent, where all sorts of the after-

school providers come together to talk about how to increase access to programs. four members are sfusd staff. we have cbo providers involved with the coalition vivian mentioned. we have higher education representatives, parent groups.

administers also looking to the human service agencies, et cetera. also looking at the kind of funding that's in the private sector. trying to think about ways to stretch that funding. in addition to focusing on that access piece, we focus on quality to try to enhance the quality of the programs. we are talking about a large quality of programs. we are focusing on the increase of all after school programs. some of the things we've done are really around developing some quality monitoring tools to use to use as a reflection process. we have identified some core things like after exume staff.

we know that teaching hps in the after school interaction. that should be a basic requirement for all staff both supervisor staff and staffing 101. we come up with a couple of other tools and efforts that is flowing between school sites and after school providers. building off of it and trying to look at the school days program for the kind of the program. i included your report. one of the things we've been working on is coming up with a

reflection tool. a report template of any variety. to begin a dialogue with anyone who may have invested in the program those are some of the brief over views of the things we are working on.

>> it is teaching me a lot. i think the after school for all the quality programs and schools that they have. there's a lot of resources out there. what we are really looking into are these quality assessment tool that's we have. as a former principal, i don't know how we missed that they didn't have those tools available. we'll be putting them into the hands of the principals now. we'll ask them to have the confidence lastly, our cbo advisory group.

this group has movered into a larger group. >> thank you. i'll stick with the brief approach. >> i work for new day for learning most of you are familiar with me and the partnership we are involved in.

>> the development of expanding learning opportunities including the development of after school and summer learning. this is the second year of this co-chaired. this year, the city is focussed on two major projects. identifying the best practice and cools that they can use to

strengthen their partnership. both committees are working to develop tools that can be integrated the way excel is going to be integrating. this year with student support services and the work now in the council. the other component of work is designing models of expanded learning requiring them to engage more deeply in the

working to support the school day. we wanted to define the academic support. these were presented and incorporated into the school improvement grants. integrated summer learning strategies drawn in part from pilot learning programs. we are working to further

develop the ex-stended day and summer learning models at both the primary and secondary model and rolling them outcoming next fall. i didn't bring folders. if you want back up or details of any of that we are happy to flood you with paper wshg. before you go, there might be some questions from the commissioner. adding 14 more minutes for q&a. >> may i speak. i had a couple questions.

one specifically around the transportation to after school. we have been talking about making those cuts and have agreed to make those. how is after school for all kind of engaged in that? and they are going to loose it. i'm worried about them next year and the year after. the last iteration of the policy moving forward. we elicited some of the concerns

indicating to elli. she sat on the council. we have member that's have been invited to share. we shared with them what meetings were taking place. there's been that communication to share through myself or elli and passed this on to the committee.

we have someone who is liasoning from jamestowne community center making sure the voice is there for the ex-sell programs. that issue isn't put to the forefront but it is the later hours they need to get home. >> there are kids who are taking the businesses now near to their homes even if we accommodate them on site with some other program, how are they going to get home. that's another big issue.

whatever work can you help in supporting us that would be really good. as the author of the resolution in support of new day for learning. if you could talk about that. i'll give you the very short version at the district and community. reporting at the sites and building out the community model. needless to say it is slow and well spoken. i want to make sure folks are

being engaged. there are elements that were written into sig grants. the way that we feel will be successful model across the site being able to expand that out. we've been involved in helping that hiring process. the lead agencies to fund that position. rolling up our sleeves and the model. looking at the and the support

services focussed around the mission in the school. there is the summary version >> i did see the representation if you have more information, i

would love to get it in the packet. sort of missing the separation of what the philosophies are. thank you so much. if you could forward that, that would be great. there is representation and overlap. these three groups supporting are not distinct in and of him self. >> that's what i so appreciate. it's
