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 to college over the summer and again target is first generation, college goers from our district. lastly we partner with the library on the check out fa family pack. summer is a time where there's

family activities and we encourage families to participate in the learning and this program allows parents to check out attractions across the city such as the zoo and the aquarium by the bay and the science and these passes are available at the library for parents to check out and take their families on, hopefully it would be an exciting learning adventure. here's a quick over view of our activities for the summer. and also in your packet is an an over view of the funding and one of the dock uments we put together around putting together quality and helping -- summer program staff and think about the skills and capacity that their staff should have to work with our students in a productive way. >> thank you. i appreciate going beyond our hearing request, actually. >> it's great to get the whole

universe the of what's happening, it's great to get more information than less. thank you for being here. >> thank you.

>> thank you very much. supervisors and commissioners. my name is glen. i'll give you a summary. he's help to answer any questions you might have. the summer job plus initiative is a partner ship that the city launched last year with the mayor's office, a number of city departments specifically dcyf and the office of economic

and work force development and the united way of the bay area which leads our employer outreach to our partners for the san francisco work with the technical department and our cbo partners working through our youth employer coalition. as you might remember the summer jobs plus was in response to a national call to action made by the obama administration about 18 months ago to provide employment and training in youth opportunities for young people 14-24 throughout the country. our mayor took that challenge very much to heart and in turn challenged our city department, our private sector partners and our community partners to provide 5,000 opportunities for those 14-24, either training opportunities, inter ships or paid work experience. last summer we held two large events, one was the mayor's job

challenge held here in city hall at one 790 jobs were pledged and a second large was our resource event that 500 youth came and got help in training and interview prep and helped to register into our system. last summer, the majority of our opportunities actually came through programs that were funded through our opportunities. they provided the bulk for the training for those 14-18 that the city funds. last summer 25 departments funded these opportunities or serving as internship sites. we had private sector take part and 35 community based organizations work to train, referral and place yog people inour goals fo

the initiative overall was to see the summer jobs opportunities and the opportunities in the private sector, the next step for the young people coming through our job training programs. as sandra mentioned through dcyf alone, we'll work with 2,200 young people prepared them for the young people and we saw the private sector piece as a way to transition into. last summer we were able to meet and exceed the challenge that our mayor put out to us, we provided 5204 work experience for young people. on slide is a break down. 2/3 come through the private sector, or our public sector, excuse me. and 1/3 came through the private sector either through direct job hires or internship provided through the san

francisco school district. one of the things that came out which was someone unexpected this was launch as a summer job, but it continued through the summer and became opportunities for young people. the rest of the slide shows the demographics of the students we served and we try to reach those who might have challenges of getting into employment. one of the things to note is the young people we serve, 71 percent came from low income family. >> just looking at the -- i apologize. i'm looking at the age. i saw that you had a small percentage of 19 to 21 year olds, that took -- participated in summer jobs, how do we work with older students? >> how do we work with them? >> i ask because the district

goes to 12 grade and dcyf focused on 17 and under so i was curious how we do that on the slightly older students. >> the reason that there was a larger number of young people over the age of 18, they were in the training program through the district ask through programs funded through the departments such as dcyf. the younger youth was recruited by city college and that's how they accessed those jobs and again because this was a public system it was available for young people city wide so they didn't have to go through those points. i can apply to the system directly. this was the neighborhoods that we served from the southeast sector but we reached the young people out in every district. so what's next for 2013. last year was

our initial launch and launched by the mayor. we got running quickly. we partnered with united way the bay area to implement the summer job initiatives, this year the mayor wants to make this a year round effort and dcyf provided funding for -- put out a request to help manage our summer job and reach out to the private sector year round. the mayor this year based on the success of last year raised the bar for all of us, so he wants to see 6,000 opportunities for those 16 to 14. and that goes out to the private sector. we build on the success that we had last summer and partnership

with oedwe. the mayor held a job challenge on april 30th. and i'll talk about what came out of that challenge. we've developed a new online application system, so it's easier for the young to apply on their own or through the support of our community providers. we're launching something called doorway organizations to increase access points for young people throughout the city, we selected six different nabld base organizations that young people can come, find out about what training is -- or what opportunities are available. get assessed and then refer to either appropriate training if they need that or help in accessing the private sector opportunities. finally we held a youth fail on may 11th. of the two events i talked about the employer challenge this year held in city haul, 569 jobs were pledged on
