have two questions, i was wondering when you picked the community hubs how you picked the schools and what the experience will be of people who -- i'm a little fearful that some family is going to think, well i just have to go to that school and not my school and how we experience that and what we say about that about using services and schools as community hubs. just so you can answer them at the same time, when the last presentation last slide we covered about opportunities where we pointed out that it said developed standardize curriculum with schools, i want to know what curriculum you mean? i'm hoping this leadership curriculum and not academic curriculum? >> yes rgs on your first question around the selection of schools and community hubs.

the schools were selected when we submitted the grant in 2011. they were some of the ones that were recipients of the school improvement grants and i don't know the full story behind these schools but i think the school improvement grant and some of the most in need. so that's -- so there is seven in the district but we only picked four and as far as the community hubs and maybe kevin and/or car lean can address. >> i appreciate the way the schools were picked. i i'm more interested in how the schools were picked and how that plays out in the community. >> i guess we'll have to stay and figure out. we are just

starting implementation on july 1st. i'm not quite sure how to answer that yet because i think we are still building what that could look like, but over the next 5 years, we really want to address all the schools in the mission and start working with all the schools in the mission but we'll need additional resources to expand for the 5 years. >> i appreciate that and i trust that we are very dedicated to making sure the work that is done through this project with the schools will benefit all the schools. this is the gateway to services thu the mission promise neighborhood program that . i just want to know that people are paying attention to the role of those schools we chose in the community, not within

the school. >> yeah. i think we have to be very consideration of that and while we are targeting these four schools, all of these exist throughout the community and it's going to be our job and all of our partners jobs to really remove perhaps perceived exclusionary whatever you want to call it, exclusion and really be, this is about ks , yes, we are focusing on these 3 years and we are certainly not excluding anybody whether you livor work on not livor work in the mission. these services with all the other organizations, they are available all the time and so we definitely need to be very conscious of that. >> thank you, just some quick comments on community organizations. i just also think it's important. if you haven't already to work with

the family collaborative in the mission, so many k i mean in the district that i represent as well but so many families live in -- areas that are important and in our emergency shelters where i see a lot of our latino families and many go to our public schools. we also want to ensure that we find ways to focus on that portion of the neighborhood too as well as the coalition for the homeless. last piece, i think dbi is a really important department to partner with as well, the department of building inspection. many of the families and residents live in buildings that really need to come up to code and that's really impacting the health of our family and kids and

particular. figuring out how to work with our building inspectors in the neighborhood can be a great way. a lot of families don't file complaints because they don't know how to and help them figure out government to work with as well. >> thank you. especially working with homeless population. my colleague has been working on this last few months to working on the homeless popping -- population and i thinken corporating the building inspectors is a great idea. before we move into the school piece, just to call out the health component. so i have

these two >> before we move on to presenters. i know this is 30 minutes and i want you to give us time to comment as well. >> sure. i will just spend a couple minutes. i'm the medical director for the department department of public health. meta is facilitating this biggest change is that renewed focus on one, the triangular relationship between economic success, poverty, health and education. that's a square instead of a triangle. in the course of the last 14 months

we've been analyzing our data and realize better understood disparity and health care access which is really our focus particularly in latina young women, latina mothers, fathers and also in health care access, mental health care access and latino children's cavity. the one page document is an example of pushing it further, this is information that epidemiologist put together. you can see here this is the intersection between obesity and educational at tainment and life health issues. you can see this is the prevalence of over weight and

obesity. in san francisco, the range, this is a whole cluster on the west side that have an overweight and obesity problem from about 20 percent. the mission district has obesity of 53 percent, brian elementary 70 percent, caesar chavez is the highest at 79 percent and the colors in blue are children whose school lunch eligible have even higher rates. that's a great example of how we need to improve their economic success to improve health. that's a similar slide showing that hispanics across san francisco have over weight and obesity rates greater than 50 percent. it even higher than african americans and twice as high as asians and whites in our public schools. this is an example of how we are

addressing the health week biomedical homes, early childhood wellness. we are going to enhance the wellness centers at school and augment the health initiatives at school and excellence and nutritional activity that supports michelle obama let's move initiative and the healthy learn collaborative called milk and the school nutrition enhancement and education project. >> would somebody from the district like to come up and talk about sig and the collaboration? >> i just want to welcome carl

aguilar of the superintendant of the power and mission zone. >> carl rivera for the mission district. i had the pleasure of supervising four of the schools under npn. i think many of the pieces were explained already through victor. what i will highlight it will be exactly what is the connection between the work that is being done right now at the schools in the mission zone. and the work that meta is proposed. one key piece is the co-funding of the common research that we already have in the district in the mission schools like social workers,

and coaches. the collaboration between meta and npn and the schools in the mission district is exactly to co-fund and have the common success that schools were doing before and is successful and how can the npn grant that possibility of continuing those services and adding the ones -- so here are the pieces and i will go directly from the last one. you heard from victor that they are trying to build capacity and so do we in the mission zone. we

are trying to bring the professionals and the leadership team at the school levels and the professionals that are funding through npn and to the different perspective we will look at what is going on in the life of the student and how we can target the students and families so that they can be successful academically. you have their funding exactly how they are doing the funding for part-time and full time personnel and we are still trying to figure out what other personnel who will be funding, the staff that will support the initiative for next year. so far we are at the initial stages in the school community negotiators. the learning

professionals are the ones that we are supporting. kevin will tell us a little bit about what are the specific highlight of these partnerships and then we can respond to any questions that you have. >> good afternoon. we just want to say a little bit. you have other slides in front of you. we have our own. what is included in your handout which is the framework to show that we are also, we've been work to go align support. the focus of that is the instructional core of what happens in the classroom between the teacher's and the students and how do we have wrap around support and work all the way through district level through the

various department within our school district. the schools are huge, we have special areas in nutrition and services. all of those services which you can think of ways and we are looking ways to integrate those as well. sfusd has been in the planning table as far as planning and working with the groups to develop some of the solutions that became ultimately part of the proposal as well as having mission leaders and our schools through central staff. right now as we implement and work with staff on the roll out. the npn grant is great. sfusd as an entity is also more fully funding the evidence and research base solutions in the schools aligned with the mission promise neighborhood. for example under sig we also had a wellness center at our high

school level. we provided previously maybe a half time nurse and halftime social worker. we determined it was stronger to have a team of full time nurses and social workers to provide more effective services for students and families . we started that under sig and provide resources to schools of highest needs. we had already planned to incorporate full time nurses and social workers and npn provides to the schools paid by the district. the concept of a wellness concept is to make sure that we have these full time teams to work with the teams in the school. that's just one example. one of the things i wanted to reflect on the learning for the planning

on mission neighborhood, i think all members are learning to under and work across organizational cultures, expertiseings policies and practices. we all do things somewhat differently and have policy regulatory guidelines and different compliance issues as well as aspirational issues at times and those are important for us to learn how to blend. that's the human sides and the developing of contract and mou's. these are legal things and developing accountability. sharing data which was raised earlier. identifying meaningful indicators and our prep for

this meeting, someone was telling us what you are interested and one is do we have the most meaningful indicators for everything in the city, do we have the full meaningful set of indicators and that we can connect directly to health services whether their city, cbo and schools touch the life's of the children and family and showing compliance at the same time staying true to the vision many also just knowing and effectively engage wg our students and clients and families. i think we were impressed in visiting the harlem children's zone, no matter how you enter the children's zone, whether it an after school program or social work service or you join one of their charter schools, once you are in, there is a stickiness, there is an embrace, we are

going follow-up with you, we are not going to let you get away. we've captured you and you are part of us now maybe there are some procedures and more importantly we get to know who you are and we make sure that you are successful. by linking our school districts we have more boot on the ground to develop that embrace and to make sure we are making it through the system. we are looking at challenges of research base of allocating funding and working how to work more effectively. we just want to bring some of those details

and ideas and any questions you may have we are welcome to it. >> are there any questions or comments? i just had one and that was i remember when i sat on the school board when we saw expulsions come to us which was the same pattern with no credits and they are going to the county schools. the question that came up was it was really clear a year ago that this kid would be in closed session getting expelled. do we have early indicators that we just know that we are going to start to utilize it. it one. and the second is we use major data collection and rita is fabulous

doing that kind of work. we can repeat ourselves. we don't have to look at past data, we can look and see how we can be more successful and address the issues that we have not been able to. >> there are many ways in which data are being used more specifically, one is the early warning indicators with the gpa and mission high school, right now they take their list of student who have early warning indicators that say they might be susceptible to drop out or expulsion and they take that list as soon as they come in and set up now mentoring cohorts and the principal of the schools as well as many teachers are running group mentor programs for kids that have early warning indicators

and actually shepherding them through the school experience to ensure they have access and they are getting support and that they are academically successful. that's an example. there are numbers of ways. >> thank you. if there are no other questions or comments here. >> we also have people from other key partners. so if you have any questions for them, they are available for questions. >> we do have maria who is the department head of the cyf here and i believe emily and randolph, mayor's office of economic and work force

development and cassandra cove from ifr. okay. no questions. >> so, i think i will call louis granados to talk about our localation and i will turn to the -- to talk about the local national state. >> thank you, everyone. i will make this short. >> before you start, i think it would be helpful for us, i know the school district has gotten several presentations on mission promise neighborhood. if you can let us know what is most helpful to you from the city's end for this to be successful since this is the first time we are hearing about this program? >> i will speak to the health

fullness of the city that without the city and school district this would not be possible. for two 1/2 years that we've been working together has been really supportive partnership and to this point we could not of asked more from the city and in particular i ask for jaime mendoza who has been helpful with the planning and implementation and with problem solving. i have appreciated working with her in that manner. what i want to talk about is really about how really we are successful in the grant. i think the hard work is really ahead of us. i think some of the thing that i heard were mentioned earlier today as you talk about the quality of housing. we need to have better data of what is that quality of the housing, how many units,

where and what families are there. this is what we have to do to make sure that we can come up with policy that actually address the need. so our job as mission promise neighborhood, victor mentioned that we have a five member evaluation team and we need to have better information to connect those low income people. that's mostly important. also with our community partners and city department we have to talk about more about how we work on outcomes and not just output. really make sure the strategies we are implementing are really addressing the need and are achieving the results that we want. i think there is a gap in doing that both from the non-profit communities as well as some of the city infrastructure. and for our

what we can bring through promise neighborhood is a clarity on what are those outcomes, how do we measure them and not take it in a way where we are poking at the department rg poking at the non-profit, but really problem solve and figure out how do we identify, how to create the capacity for the department and those organizations to better those outcomes. victor talked about the building the systems. we think often this conversation is around services. it's about more service. i have been here to talk about how meta needs more foreclosure services. we are changing the coverage. i think the more service is more important but think about what are the systems. what are the system and where does that one service fit within the system. how does the set of services kepth -- connect to each other

and what are the systems and processes that connect to the service that you have. i think the city is important so much money in these services but i don't necessarily think we are thinking about it in a systemic way in a way that it's accessible to their non-profit partners. i think we need to elevate that conversation with the city departments and what i have understood here from the city department is that they are welcoming of that conversation and interestingly enough when oewd went out for the access point they organized their services to a system. we were happy to see that. from mission promise and th

neighborhood perspective we want to figure out how to support that system and other systems around early learning around career to college services, around technology, thinking about the system is really really important. the other thing is sharing the model. we think that family economic success is fundamental to the various sets of work that we do. we are all very interested in making sure that lower income individuals are successful. by definition, if we are talking about low income individuals and the particular issue is early learning or housing or legal status by common sense that family economic success is one of the key issues that we have to work on. so if we are talking about health services, how to incorporate family success, if we are talking about family

housing how do we incorporate family success. are we going to pay for an immigrant family. we have to include family economic success in that conversation. for us really exploiting this model, right now we are connecting academic achievement and family economic success. but we think economic success is fundamental to these constituents. lastly i want to talk about service integration. one of the things that we have done at meta now through practice now we know what that means. what are the systems that which i have ton -- to be honest with you. a year 1/2 ago we didn't know what that was. we tried it and failed and we improved it. the whole concept

of service integration about how integration with non-profit and the school district work well together. that's the thing, work well together. right now there is no organization like meta to look at what my partner is doing. there is no leveraging of this resources that are actually going to serve the same population. we had a conversation today with the mission wellness center today. they serve 13,000 people, we serve 7,000 people, but to date there hasn't been that collaboration. potentially, the thing is that there is a strong overlap, between 13,000 people they serve and our 7,000 and it's so important that we make that connection and we

incentivize working together. it not about working in silence anymore. these are challenging conversations where we are challenging the sector, non-profit, school district and city departments and we want to engage in a positive way to really ensure that we are doing the best by our constituents. thank you. >> thank you and congratulations again on 40 years serving our city. >> i hope you are coming. >> i don't think commissioner mendoza is going to be able to make it. >> before i turn it over to policy, maybe i will discuss briefly what louis skipped over is the promise zones. that's what we are working on with va
