first question is yes. the crossing guard program is in the mta and we he do a full evaluation and we do it on every corner that has a guard to make sure they're still meeting the criteria that are set out and the children using the crosswalk and also the relative safety of that crosswalk in terms of how many lanes are there and there's a whole set of criteria that gets used to do that evaluation, but then comes the hard part. we have a fine number of crossing guards that's fixed and if we discover that one corner no longer meets that criteria but we have one that does, that's a challenging conversation to go have because you're taking away an amendity that the parents and the children and community

have come to expert and explain that some where else needs it more is really tough. so those are things that we -- decisions we take seriously and try every year make budget request so we can increase the crossing guards to we can limit that so rob peter to pay paul. we do an a lot of communication with the schools and evaluations of where the crossing guards are and making sure we're putting them where they do the most good and having the highest value, but absolutely we he would love to end gage this community. you're talking about who work two minute 30 shifts a day. a lot of times they're retired and doing this because they love the work. they feel like it's important. and so a little goes a long way. so i think that would be

a worth wild conversation to have. i don't know he what kind of funding mechanisms out there, but maybe we can bring people to talk about that and really examine the partnership between the school district and the mta and how it can work better way. i have to circle back with you. i don't know the answer. if if we've taken that under advisement and we give advice that we shouldn't encourage children or if we think it's a great idea or leave that up to individual schools, i'm not sure how it works so i need to -- >> is there an active program that trains the kids and do that sort of thing? >> not through the fata. we just train the adult crossing guards. >> i think it would be helpful if there were efforts to grow the pie. >> what are we talking about?

>> i know that the crossing guard program completed its evaluation for the year, maybe when the committee resumes in september that might be an item for the agenda to bring the crossing guard program back and talk about -- show you how it's funded and show how much you can buy with an additional investment. those things can be useful. >> thank you. >> supervisor yee. >> thank you. >> thank you commissioner mendosa. >> thank you for bringing up that line of questioning, because i've been thinking about that issue. i also grew up. i had an opportunity to be a crossing guard when i was inle he in elementary and it

heighten my safety issues and i don't have any data behind this, but i felt like -- i felt those students who weren't crossing guards see that we were involved with the issue. it brought some awareness to them also, so i don't know where we would get this type of research but i would love to find out if there's research around us, number one, number two, how can reimplement that at the he school sites and how much would it cost. it's something i would be interested in having the city to support. number three, if we're choosing the adult cross guards at particular sites, would a particular school have -- if they're tied with some other school, would they have an

extra point if they wanted to implement a school where students are involved and not having it as a criteria, that would be good to see if it motivated other schools or have a positive impact. i wish we would have some of this information in the next week so i could just push it at the budget committee. >> do you want to add some things. >> just to provide some addition information. i think you're talk beginning the safety patrol. i was also of that in the 5th grade. that was -- my understanding and the history, it was funded by triple a and the funding interest the police and that ended. and triple a, i had the

headquarters and they moved to creek. i know the police department would be interested in doing that. they used to have a big ceremony and they used to tell me about that. that's another point of information. >> can we ask powell to spare that. >> lorraine. >> you can ask her, yeah. >> it's a leadership committee that's valuable. and i mean, thinking with some of those qualities and there's volunteerism and there's a lot of things that i think we can consider. thank you. >> thank you. just a couple of other things. i really think the left turning and right turning is a really big issue as i learn more and more about this pedestrian safety and i get it. even as a driver i can see how it can be difficult or

you lose track because there's cars behind you and you feel the pressure to cross or turn. but particularly around our schools i think it's a good thing for us to look at. unfortunately this morning we had a psychist that was hit when the cyclist was hit. that's a big issue that. when you're talking about kids, you're talking about folks that are obviously much shorter. especially if you're in a car that's high up with their trucks and some of our other big are vehicles. i know also at the ta meelting we had talked about schools that we prioritize and it's based on looking at the number of students who currently walk and the number of pedestrian involved collisions in that area and i know that chart was incredibly helpful for me to look at. a number of the

schools were in the northeast china town south of market, and parker being on the top of that and giving that broad corridor, i get why that's a school that we need to do a lot of focusing work on and do you want to add to -- >> i believe actually the spread sheets were not included but i have extra. >> that would be great. >> i'm looking at it. everybody else doesn't. >> i only have two though. >> we can share. >> okay. >> it's important for the school board to look at these schools as well so that we can match our efforts both on the city and on the school end and do some -- i have one already. so we can do education work in our communities to make sure that we're educating our families on this -- on safety.

the last thing that i was going to say, the hawk is very new to me. although i think supervisor yee and supervisor tang have been talking about this on float given the unfortunate incident near loyle, so to me this looks confusing. this is not a traffic signal. it's a traffic signal just for crosswalks; right. okay. >> actually i was at a presentation yesterday on this particular hawk thing and basically it's not -- it's activated when somebody -- a pedestrian is ready to cross and press a button and then the yellow lights flash to warn the car that it's going to have a stoplight and the two red

lights come on and somehow it turns into a red light afterwards and if their already passed, but the way we explain it, when something is flashing all the time, people were ignoring it, the drivers and this is effective. it's used when the pedestrian is actually crossing and i think it works real well for slope in a sense that, you know, the cars are fast but there's not that many pedestrian so you wouldn't want to have something flashing all the time, but i'm not sure for instance in the south -- north of market, south of market that it would be that effective. >> my last comment is that i

know the graph that i was talking about are elementary schools only, not middle and high school, so if would be great to be able to get some of that information later just because we're -- for example, loyle's high school doesn't have a lot of great ways for them to cross and sota is the school that doesn't have the 25 miles for hour. at the point of high school you're going back and forth to school on your own. >> we plan on not only undating those for the elementary school, but creating it for the middle and high for this current school year. that's our plan. >> great. >> thank you so much. this is an immense amount of work but it's great to look at and i'm hoping this committee would want to continue the

conversation in the future so we can keep it going with ufsau and it's an important issue and we want to give it the attention and resources. thank you for the presentation. i like to open up this item for public comment if there's any. seeing, no public comments. do you have any further comment or feedback for our department. good presentation, thank you. >> can we take a motion to continue this item to the call of the chair. >> so move. >> okay. >> we have that motion. >> thank you. i'll see you later at the second street improvement land meeting. madam clerk can you call item number one. >> thank you vup sizer, it's a hearing on summer school programming. >> thank you. and so we do

have helen ying and the executive of our school. sandra notten and our policy manager and glen who is planning annist for the yeast work force. this was continued from last month. we want to appreciate you all coming back for a second meeting and also allowing us to hear item number three first. >> thank you. good afternoon, i'm helen ying for the high school division and i was also a traffic girl in the 6th grade. i wanted to give you a brief over view of the summer programs has happening in san francisco unified school district. so there's four major programs happening this summer. the special education extended school year program, and the micro education prap, the school grant improvement

and these are the bay zones that's funded that's continuing their program and the high school credit recovery program. so this year once again as every year wore extending the students with iep and they're serving the students at seven elementary schools and four high schools and the purpose of this program is so the students don't lose any learning and they continue their progress for the year. and so that program is ready, set to go and we're just waiting for confirmation for parents for students to enter. we also have a small federally funded education program and they'll hold a summer program at buena vista and that's to insure they meet their academic and content standards and they'll serve

about 180 students, k-8 students. and the sick programs are continuing at all of the six schools, brian car bore, and buena vista and effort elementary and oconnell high schools and most of the teachers participating, they're school year teachers and some of these programs will be supplemented by some of the cbo's working with them. and then these are the three seconds dairy programs. our graduation program. and our grades 9 to 11 recover program. this is our transition program that's going to be held at the first week of june which is at the very end of the school year and it will be offered at all of the middle schools. and these are four in coming -- these are for current 5th grade

students going into the 6th grade. and they'll be approximately 2,000 students who is going to participate in that one week program and they'll be participating in activities and of the transition topics that will prepare them to do well in the middle school. we'll have our kc preparation program for those who did not pass kc and math, but we'll have a senior program that's offered at galileo high school and those are for those students who could have graduated in june, but they failed so they'll have an opportunity to make up those classes in the summer so they can graduate in july. so there's about probably -- we probably hope to serve 250 students in that senior graduation program. and then finally we have our high school credit recovery program and thanks to the city we were

given additional funding to expand the credit recovery to the 11th grade. last year our credit recovery programs were only for the 9th and 10th grade and this year we're expand ing it to 11th grade students. we've also expanded the number of courses that we're offering this summer from english to algebra, advance algebra, geometry, chemistry, modern world, us history, spanish one and two. we're trying to cover as many classes as we can for those who need to recover those classes. they will be four -- they'll be held at four high schools at ball bow y'all and galileo. and particular 1800 to 2,000 students we hope to serve and looking at the registration of the students in those courses, that's about right that we're getting. they

received a large grant and they'll be serving 60 students at each of those high schools and they'll be provided some in class support as well as after school tutoring and students will also be receiving a stipend for attending those classes and they'll be a focus on preparation in high school and professional and career options. and then one of the pieces that we built into our credit recovery program is also to help the new comer in developing english learners, particularly at the high school level that's behind. so we're going to offer certain classes at balboa and galileo designed for students at that beginning

english lefbl level so they can advance in the units in their high school. so that's pretty much sums up our summer program. it's fairly large this year. >> okay. questions. >> good afternoon commissioners and supervisors, my name is sandra notton, and i'm going to talk you through the

activities. summer is busy and something we've been prioritizing and giving the research that has been coming out talking about summer learning loss. i'm going to talk you through the work that we do and i have packets here that i can also handout perhaps along with the power point. >> dcyf relates in several areas. one area is really helping parents and families understand what their options are in terms of the opportunities that are available during the summer. then of course is the fund willing that dcyf provide services and we help summer providers understand what it takes to run a summer quality

program and emphasizing how summer can be a time for learning, not necessary summer school or repeating things that they learned through school but a chance to learn new opportunities and new dimensions -- and post secondary success and others. so i'll walk you through those. the first is it really around our efforts to help families understand what their options are during the summer. one of the main things that we do every year is the annual free summer resource, which this year was held at everrett school and we had 170 different providers talking to parents and families and their options and what their programs were offering and some were signing up people on the spot.

it was a well received event and it was in partnership with the district. and then ff kids dot org. it provides an online one stop shop looking for summer camps and summer programs but one time classes and lessons. it has ideas for family outings so we do a lot of outreach to point parents to this resources to see what the options are. then moving into the funding that dcf provides, they provide funding that have ages to 24. they're year round services and that's the services that target the youngest age group, age 0 to 5

and that's early age portfolio. again, those are year round slots to help working parents and provide those important learning opportunities for our youngest resident and support resource services and that's in partnership with first five. and focusing on school age use, kindergarten through eighth grade. this is the youth population that we have been focusing on recently and through gathering information through our partners, we came up with -- they have access to an ongoing summer learning opportunity. kind of a summer program or summer camp that's provided at least three days a week for a couple of hours a day. so we're trying to sure that up and make sure all youth at this age group who are

interested in staying in the program has an option because we know there's positive things that can come from participation in a program especially around learning loss. this summer, dcf will fund three sites for this age group. we're emphasizing them to operate for eight hours a day and five-days a week to help working families and there's a map that we up loaded to our website, some maps that show each of the different types of programs that will be offered this summer, both from funded agencies and wreck and park and the school district will operate, some of its excel programs and the early education department so those maps are available on website and it's in the packet included to you today. so you can see there's a variety of different options with different colored dots that represent the different types of funding behind these programs but we have some pretty good coverage

across the city. then moving onto kind of high school age and older youth, as helen mentions, dcf is partnering with the district and this year we'll take it to a bigger scale and work with those 9 graders that will provide them with an afternoon session. even kind of exposing them to career awareness opportunities as a way to provide some relevance for their summer school experience, so we're excited about that opportunity and partner i. dcf funds several different programs that work with high school age youth, again, year round, 56 different programs and we estimate that about 1800 youth will have opportunities starting this summer in a variety of programs and could focus on cultural

identity and digital arts and there's a variety of programs with students involved gaining a skill and hopefully that skill is tying into their interest and that's why they're participating. we support youth work force programs and this summer we'll fund 30 different programs that go ages 14 through 21. the mayor's employment education and youth works and our partnership will be up and running this summer. we expect there to be 2 , 200 slots. we'll talk about that with the city agencies. >> this is another one of our year round fund strategies that

utilize adults and these are year round services, there's often a big focus in doing planning around summer which has been a peek in term of violent activity so those grantees and or partners at dph and probation, we've been working together to make sure we have a smooth summer this coming summer. the next your is trying to foster summer providers to think about quality. and to end hans their quality. one of the things we've worked on in the couple of years is a summer larning network is a coalition of workers across the city and has more than one hundred members and it's to share ideas and resources and things that can help programs improve their program quality. there's newsletters and meetings and the group puts together and plans two city wide training days for staff of any in the

city and there's a fair where folks from different city agencies and cultural institutions come and talk about how they can bring students to their sites or field trips and the types of programs they he have, the library is there promoting their summer reading program, so it's a network of folks trying to expand for the low income family. the after school for all group creates a summer assessment tool that programs can use on their own to think about how they can choose the areas where they want to improve whether it's family aspect or academic or skill development, this tool helps them think about where they are in terms of the quality and gives them tools to think about how to improve that

quality. and then -- we participate and promote the summer programs that we fund and others we work with to participate in national learning day which is an an awareness day to kind of bring more attention to this issue of the importance of summer for our youth. it's a learning opportunity and learning can be fund. so national similar day is june 21st. they'll be event happening right on the steps of city hall and out at civic plaza and in addition to that big marquis event, you'll the grantees are asked to host their event to enhance their neighborhood or community parties about the importance of summer learning. some of the other initiatives that dcf is involved in relates to nutrition and the biggest event in the summer is the free summer lunch program and there's a brochure attached in

your packet that lists the sites. and these are locations where youth can come and receive a free meal and snacks so it will be 85 sites across the city, about 4,000 meals per day and they're open to any youth. they don't have to be open to that program that's sponsoring it. we're exciting to be working with the public library to hold a pilot which is a lunch site so students in that neighborhood can attend there for a free lunch. we also work okay the bridge su semester effort, which is a partner with the district and the college to represent students post secondary success and we've had a summer bridge program which targeting some other underrepresented graduates who are plan to go attend city college and provide them with some orientation and training and workshops to help them make that transition to high school
