about this really kiting initiative called the mission -- really great initiative called the mission promise neighborhood. first thing is what is the promise neighborhood? i think all of you should have a packet. i have the presentation. supervisor campos: i don't know if we have the presentation -- >> yeah, they're right there. supervisor campos: ok. >> so first of all, you know, what is promise neighborhood? it's actually a very simplele but very ambitious goal to create a community of opportunity. and it's based on the very successful children zone model where a community at a very distinct case in this case harlem, the community there is being provided with social and academic support to ensure that their children and families
10:01 pm
success academically and then in life. the strategy there is a whole host of cradle to college to career services that are very focused on children and families. one of the key things here is the integration by services that are specifically targeted, similar to what we are trying to establish is to make sure that every child graduates from college. at the harlem children's zone, the thing that they're working for whether they have a kid in the promise academy from 7:00 until 6:00 in the evening or whether they only see a child for after school tutoring once a week. they're all hold the the same level of accountability is to make sure that child graduates college. so we want to create a similar goal for ourself here. so that talks a little bit
10:02 pm
about our vision which is to make sure that every child and family excels. we want to make sure that kids are ready to start school and that they are ready to live in the community where they can prosper economically and they with call san francisco their home. so we want to be there. that's part of our vision of what we want to create. related to that is our mission which is to link economic security with ue student achievement. we know that kids have less of an opportunity to suck needs school. the services help them prosssper and similar circumstances will also it will
10:03 pm
help them prosper academically. all of the services that we develop economically needs base, i.r.s. evidence. so we really want to lift up what's already working and scale that. as you can see given that space initiative, we want to work block by block to make sure every child and family is reached. like i said, our strategy is to connect these two, leverage existing resources, the main one of which is the school improvement grant as well as all the rich services that are already existing in the mission and all the great work this all the schools are doing. to really create a seamless continuum of services or the community so this is very
10:04 pm
important for various reasons are, one of which is economics. we know there are a hole hosts of government funds. fill anthropic funds and vares you other sources of revenue thaw are affecting if our ability to provide sources. this is a really fantastic opportunity to get $30 million over the course of five years. >> before you continue with your presentation, i'm looking at this. maybe it's a good time to make point to my colleagues on the board of supervisors who perhaps may not be aware of this and also to members of the public. how we got this point was a clabs ration that included the mayor's office, the school district, community based organization an.
10:05 pm
i'm proud that my office was also involved in that process. and the idea was to figure out how we leveraged additional funding to inject general resources into the mission where we have a lurm of low performance schools. the connection between economic success and academic kick clur and through this process. and metta had the high score in the country. with respect to the planning grant and as we're finalizing the planning grant if this grant then results in the successful funding at the federal level. you're talking about $30
10:06 pm
million which is where this figure comes in. so with that i'll turn it over to mr. coral. you've -- you can bhadge it would mean to the neighborhood. >> thank you but yeah, i was going to zpweet a little bit of the detail as to whereer we are in the process and specifically who has the balls. yeah, the supervisor has been instrumental. as well as a whole host of community partners. this is really hard to read but it's in your packet. and you can see the whole most of community involvement.
10:07 pm
the proposal that we submitted to receive the planning grant was submitted in accept of last year. and so we are not in the planning page for the next year. but we will be submitting our proposal in july. >> when the application is available. we have a treasure, commissioner mendoza, the supersbhen dent. timo thee guerrero. the prinpls of four schools which i'll talk about in a little bit. we have a core project team made up of metta as the legal
10:08 pm
organizations. several consultants and one of our key partnership, berkley center for latino policy. we're helped to design one of the most critical peaces of this because we want to show what the impact like this would be in the course of the year. so the way na -- at the core is the working groups which is biled at very specific independence yea tors that are going to address as part of the project neighborhoods institution. >> it affects, achievement. and we have a set of that helps
10:09 pm
support this work and in that is the data and analysis, communication component and several others key. at the third level you'll see that we are focused on dseesar chavez, don o'connell. throughout the course of the five years going to be ex-patcheding -- exchanging the mission. at the owned of the day we're going to hope turn them. at the leadership we are very happy toe have the superintendent grant executive direct door kevin for providing
10:10 pm
us some of the leader zip -- the leadership. you'll see there i am at the project center level that helps the operations gave the day. our executive director at metta as a project direct-to-tor. ultimately the metta board. the final approval and submital of the grant. i really want to emphasize that despite the fact that we are lead agency and we have a whole host of partners throughout this process, we are all about -- the whole focus on this is the schools. and everybody around that --
10:11 pm
you'll see the working groups and the other leadership positions and groups, they're all working together to support the academic achievement and the economic success of the families of each cools in the mission. so that's really ure goal. like i mentioned, i'll just quickly go over there again. we will be expanding to the other schools in the mission and finally we hope to reach every family that goes to mission with the commission. very -- these are the outcome that have been described. what we are currently trying to find the strategy -- the all right existing at the jis to --
10:12 pm
and we have to identify those strategies to make sure we meet these specific outcomes that we are required to. under early learning and development. we have to make sure that kids have a flies go that is sick, that is not an reasoning and center bates the formal home base child car around school, student improvement and academic achievement making sure that kids are performing at our above the state assessment, have attendance rights, graduate from college. including things that are healthy and strong and afe -- safe -- that'slies have great
10:13 pm
credit counts, all d things that tell us that we are underway of prosssperity. i think it's a really important point -- and what is very unique to this -- our specific theory has changed and our grant proposal which is that we want to make sure that all the services we are providing under this grant are culturally and lynn gistically given the population. the mission in our target aid. we aring with -- making sure
10:14 pm
that everything we propose is going to work. and final lip and one of the really exciting things about this and i spoken to a lot of the community partners and what they're really excited about is the -- the very strong emphasis on ge -- integrating retreat sources. we have some that are targeting kids and their families but there is somewhat of a lack of integration of those services to make sure that we achieve a certain set of outcomes. we want to build on that frain structure and make it better. there are going to be a lot of resources that are going to be developed for that. all of our strategy. our goal is to achieve
10:15 pm
economically and that the families success economically. you can tell so far there is there's a lot of overlap with the school immovement lap. and we are very porch nat to build on some of the new construction. learn from the leadership that is at the table all the time getting their lessons learns. we have the project leadership. we are working very closely with the community school operators. getting off their infra chuck chur -- infrastructure. there's a lot of lessons, and we are you -- we definitely
10:16 pm
want their input and want to make sure that the community is a match. as part of the grant we have to get one to one match for all the funds and so we are counting on all of our partners to two. and the other big thing that is very particular is the data and evaluation come poe ten there's a hump emphasis on strong and rigorous. a lot of the resources that will be going to the -- >> why berkley and stanford? >> 6 >> are i promise i didn't have anythinging to do.
10:17 pm
it was cobu. we've -- for almost 40 years we've been providing businesses and tech any can services employers and businesses. we also help families slay homes, do their tax reparation and helping y avoid foreclures and the like. through that process i think we've become a leadership institution of the mission. we managed to lead as the model for the commune di. we are building a partnership or have been a pastership where
10:18 pm
write become and that leads to success. we manage tokenog around the country. we've had a history of grace fundamental. we are confident that we can reach the one two. >> 1-two match. but i think the most important point is really that we see this grant as an ability to scale our already existing mission which is to achieve economic justice for latino for loaded modern this will allow us from services parents)a) individuals to make sure they
10:19 pm
can biled well and now we're moving our dath who are welcomed to combrirthange opportunities. so we're -- we're really, really excited about that. i was also asked about how we can work together. we are in the planning phase which goes through the end of the year and then we are confident that we're going to receive the imply mentation grant. and so we are looking to a lot of support. to your support, to the city support. they've been very involved as well through the mayor's office to commissioner mendoza. and sop dwhash we really need
10:20 pm
is to rays awarnst and tight necessary. and help us build citywide and developmental support. we'll need access to data. we want to work in response sorpip with a -- slamped with -- as well as supporting the create new models like the school improvement grant. promise neighborhood and allowing it to grant that space for innovation to make it success. -- a success. i think that's all i have. i want to congratulate you and all the other stake holders. i'm very exciting and where are
10:21 pm
hole and a tad jealous. i think we can expand throw the any. >> as i i think i understand from the vary yorking croup with -- with regards to early learning. can you talk about the family economic and seasonstial suckess. -- success. tell me what you guys are thinking in that area? >> yeah, this is something that metta proposed as like the net new. so the first three set of outcomes and indicators are actually the ones that are required. and so when we send do you the proposals, these are the dish nal strategys that are in line, one being the family economic
10:22 pm
success and two being the technology immigration. which metta does. and so we wanted to build that in as a way to yyeeve these outcomes. several partners provide a lot of financial education, access to business loans. so we really want to build off those existing services as well as the metta mark point model which is very simple. we want to make sure the students get 40 and 50 all these things that we consider, once met a unanimously's on the way to workshops, through and building off of a whole bunch of syses services. does that answer your question
10:23 pm
all day? >> it does. i deaf -- the next item we have is one suggest obviously here in san francisco we have some very established and a growing number of 10 to economics. geter more involved with a particular school or neighborhoods. if there's wy to reout to them and ale these as partners. >> yeah, thu. we would love to have paul to explain how we can facilitate that. supervisor campos: i want to thank his leadership on there. y visor brought us all together. and it was like, you know, blind dating. metta like you're saying was
10:24 pm
not the likely partner for the school district. it took a whime to warm up to each other. he insisted that we do. so i had a chance to speak to luis this afternoon. he called meas -- treast. but i do -- it is interesting because metta isn't the likely partner, but you know, when we were on the hill, a lot of the conversation around economic ebb us tain believe and our come from low income families, it makes so much sense but it's not something that we need to consider. i do appreciate that metta that
10:25 pm
-- you say how do we get the work done. i really like the low go and the colors. this is very professional. the other thing worth noting is the first meeting that we have which i was sick. and it drue over 100 community members to the member. even in our last meeting we filled up the women's building and there was a lot of great dialogue. >> and the mayor was there. >> yes, and the mayor was there at our first community meeting and i think -- so this is when the hard work really starts to happen. and i think the support that we can really use from the city, it's going to to because the suckess and be part of this,
10:26 pm
we're going to start tort narrow the afternoon. it has to be real ill-focused and far letted in order for us to be eligible for the grant itself. so that's the kind of hard work that's happening right now. we'll see how that played out. china town was actually i -- china. >> it would be great we did then them even though she didn't get it. it was a good experience for you to go through and us to go through. we've invited him to sitenory. i'm meeting with hip just --

supervisor mission and i believe that area where a lot of folks face a lot of challenges around -- economic economic challenges, all those issues come up a will the. in the film area where there's a lot number of public housing units. you know, they strugglele with a lot of these things. issues that seem to be present in the mission. i'm hoping that although the mission is the pilot program, that the conversation, you know, children zones their family zones can sort of become a city i'd conversation. because i again i thought
