twelvefold. and i will have to say as glad as i am to have met and work with those 12 principles their trouble causeers because they've invited the other 7 principles of the k schools to come at me but created the buzz that we wanted to say with every teacher of the unified school district and that's about the excitement of being invested in for our kids. and so we picked the partner with united way to help us handle the money and united way is a wonderful partner. they helped me find the 6 hundred plus jobs with the private entities they work with. so the larger picture is about

public and private pifrpz with our city with successful companies like sales force and i think as popular the companies are beginning to exhibit their floifb floifb goals and what kind of society do we want to lead. this is a question for every tech company i'm glad to these those companies here today, you'll notice ann display with an a and as you sit here now good with a z. every tech company that has a letter in their name a there z are going to be part of the journey of not only transforming our education system as described as struggling in the past with a lot of different

barriers and opening up to our effort to involve a larger picture of what our residents and their families really want to do in the great city of san francisco and how do we attract those families to stay here. i go to technology visits every tech tour tuesday and meet with thirty or 40 employees of those companies and many of them know their ipos won't come in like other families they want to be here and work in jobs by the first thing is what are we doing that the schools. that's the birthing sign of viechltd. the best investment is to create a family here because that means you've got fabricate in the way

we've treated our schools and the private-public partnering we have. in addition the technology gap that sales force is helping us today with offer $1.7 million in the other person ipads and the tinge goes with it is the training of features tea administrators. that's similar to what auto deck zinc gesture offers. it's the support mechanisms. it's one thing to announce the gift bus it's the best thing to be able to receive it with the highest level of care it deserves. this is what we want to do because i know about mr. benny

will be part of this for a long time he invests. vichltd is long term until your goal of skews is done. i want to see the kids successful in every school. i want to thank sails force with mark who will speak. it's a inspiration of people and resources. the single largest financial single year donations it's appropriate to make this announcement here they went one step further and this is what technology companies try to do that's why it's a joy to work with p them. he asked about what we want to do mark when he asked me that he

said i'll go one stapling step i'll do something that i think about trigger the additional $1.2 million a one hundred thoughts to each principle for the principles innovation fund challenging the principles to think outside the box kowa you what do you need. i didn't dictate at all to any of the things the principles came up with only to suggest this is your opportunity to really be creative this is not you to do you came to san francisco it's not just a splarn it's about being a part of the san francisco fabric. and mr. benny house file and the

work sales company has given us this up to this point. it helps us to think outside the bongs and the final question that benny house file has asked me when we're through dealing with the equity question when we've gotten comfortable with technology the question will be which is a it that you want to do with education in san francisco. i'm happy to entertain that question along with a large group of partners through sf city and sales force. we've begun those conversations and we're going to have a lot of outside meetings to demonstrate if resources were not a barrier what do we want our community to

establish with the companies. that will make me more excited about all the transcribe lags of shut downstairs and strikes things that would drag a mayor down to the deepest of depression but to signal that we have great partners in our business community that demonstrate their love for our city and this is the appropriate way to introduce a good friend the ceo of sales force, of course, that's mr. benny house file >> (clapping) >> well, we're so lucky to have such a great mayor in san francisco. aren't we? (clapping) >> and what the mayor said is

absolutely true we live in a newer have an. it's a remitting small city 7 by 7 miles but full of rich resources that are represented by the people here. you don't have to go outside this building to see the beautiful especially scenery. we're so blessed. now i'm part of the industry that's going through an amazing time it's a time like unlike any in the city the innovation and new ideas and technology that's blooming is amazing. you see it in one city in the world right here in san francisco where we now have thousands of new companies that have emerged and most of them

funded by ron conway right here so thank ou ron (laughter) >> now we'll use our time in an inappropriate time if we didn't think about how to get back we're creating wealth and resources and capacity and we're fortunate we were created the same day the sales force foundation. susan has been the founder of that we put 1 percent of protein and sales time so this is not our first contribution to the school district we're here for the long hall. and what i really ask is all our

technology peers sales force and as you sit here now good can give back anonymous money they know where the money should go is give them the money and the technology is important but not the end all we all know that. i've been putting schools in the public schools since 1998 we have thousands of folks in san francisco they get 4 hours a month paid off for volunteerism we want them to come and do the work in the schools. we have to remember this is about one thing our children. the most important resource in san francisco. when we think about our children

we need to remember our children need a great education which is why we invest our children need great health that's why we're building our benny hospital as well and make sure our children are off the streets and have great homes that's a super important part. and those are the 3 things we're focused on health, education and shelter for all our kids. i want to thank you for giving us this opportunity and thank you to our mayor wholly who's phenomenal and your leadership and all of you the fluoroscopic partners and the school district everyone here contributing to create a he better san francisco this is a great day. thank you very much

(clapping) >> let me introduce our wonderful principle as well (clapping). >> so thank you everyone for being here. you know, we have at the great bonus of being dr. martin luther king we think of his dream and it's amazing we can compare our dream to the students now. the underline base is the same we want all children to have quality education and jobs and just putting it out there to sales force. especially on this side of the city too much students don't think about the kind of careers

in technology and with a college degree and technical degrees and all the was a to educate themselves to be part of the future. so one thing is when the kids see the t-shirts 33 they see themselves maybe i could work for the mayor or be the superintendent not too much want to be the principle. we want to visiting i to see the kids and technology in use. so we're going to ask the two folks we have 3 groups we're going to ask you to come and join some classrooms we don't have room for everybody but if you can stay we'll take you around for the second showing of the classrooms. thank you so much for being here

i'm speaking for my comrades and all our students thank you for being our reporters you two (clapping) >> thank you so much for being here and i think that wrapz it up we can go to our groups. thank you so much. we can go to our

>> hi, in san francisco we're doing a special series called

stay safe, about staying in your home after an earthquake. and today we're going to be talking about the neighborhood support center to help people find new resources when they stay in their home. ♪ ♪ >> we're here at the urban center in san francisco with sarah karlewski, deputy director of spur. we're talking about the shelter, a safe place to stay, exhibition at their center. and part of being able to shelter in place in your home is to be able to find a place nearby where you can get the services that you might not have in your home. and that's what this little neighborhood support center is for. >> that's right. >> what are some of the services that might be provided in a neighborhood center like this? >> yeah. so, we think of the neighborhood support centers as really being homes away from home. so, after a major earthquake

there is going to be a lot of confusion. people are going to need to try to meet up with other people. they're going to need a lot of information. so, a lot of what the neighborhood support center is going to provide is that information. basically we're going to be like a hub where people can come to get services, help, information, et cetera. what you see here on this table are a whole variety of did you ever rent things from tools, some walki-talkies. this helps people know what is going on in their neighborhood. over here you have a whole variety of water and canned goods. we're really hoping that people will stock up for themselves at least for the first 72 hours if not more. i know that i have a ton of canned food and other sorts of things such as water within my own home. and everybody should, but

there's going to come a time where people are going to end up running out and needing more. so, that's what we've got right here. >> so, this neighborhood support center, this doesn't look to be a major city sponsored fully stocked space. it can be a small commercial space, even somebody's garage as long as they have the information, a guide of information, who to call for what, communications equipment, some power, have a generator. >> that's right. >> thinking of lights and charge your cell phones and so on. and probably be operated by volunteers. >> volunteers, maybe members of nert could help out, people who live in the neighborhood that have some building skill could be helpful. so, if there is a structural engineer living nearby or even an architect, they could really help people kind of understand what has happened to their homes and what sort of repairs might be needed. >> here we are with some of the things that you might find in a neighborhood support center.

one thing we learned from hurricane katrina, people really rely on their portable electronics and their phone. we say here's a charging station tied up to the generation. the essential coffeepot. >> yes. >> maybe a computer, you can check your e-mail with. >> yes. we have our charging station here. and then over here you can see we've got a whole variety of things, including the all-important different tags. so, lawrence, do you want to talk a little about the tags? >> sure. people want to know what do these tags mean. is my building safe or unsafe. these are the city owe initial tags. staying in your home doesn't require that you get a tag. it just means that you use common sense and maybe get help from people who might be around who can help you evaluate whether it's a safe place to stay. >> you might want to know because regular city services are disrupted, you might want to know when trash pick up is, if you need to get clean water, et cetera. also in the neighborhood

support center, that kind of information would be available and we've got a little of that up here. >> trash pick up resumes regular schedule on wednesday. >> that's right. >> please mark your human waste. >> that's right. >> so, this is kind of an information center, communication center, also a center that hopefully will show people how to relate to their neighboring communities, what else is happening city-wide. and, of course, this is sort of the ubiquitous form of communication. my cat is missing, call me. >> exactly, because a lot of times, even if you do have a cell phone, and people do if you're really trying to save some of your precious energy minutes, et cetera, or it's not working as well as it normally does, it is helpful to have a message board that you can get information to other people. and, so, that's what we're showing here. you can see people are going to be looking for their pets. they're going to be looking for rides. people are going to need to be sharing resources a much as

they possibly can. another thing that you can see here is they're going to need to be fair tools and some of the things that people are going to need in order to be able to stay safer within their homes. so, we're just showing sort of a gesture to that with all these different tools here. but then also tarps, people are going to need to cover their windows if their windows are cracked, if their roofs are broken. so, ideally, the city would be able to know where all these neighborhood centers are and help deliver some of these supplies. >> they could come from a neighbor, maybe not. thank you so much for allowing us to come in and share this wonderful exhibit. and thank you for
