humanatee and we can find that trust again with a civil draft where we are all required to provide some service to the benefit of a whole. the democratics heavy waets in the room can you call mrs. pulosey and call [inaudible] not to close down the side walks. we do have a [inaudible] thank you. >> thank you, next speaker >> good afternoon [inaudible] i would like to state some of the statements you all have made today about affordable housing. there is no such thing as affordable housing in san francisco. that was coined by the redevelopment agency in the 70's you need to look at what the [inaudible] if you don't make 48 thousand dollars

today i have the opportunity to show my aprechiation to a very special person. she one of the most remarkable public servants i have met. one of the most talented and commit community leaders in the city of san francisco. she is also a residence of district 9. let me talk about [inaudible] have known each other for many years even before she was a member of the board of education and my first interaction with her was as a parent seeing her as a parent coming to meetings of the board of education and i was the lawyer at the time. i remember being struck by how strong a presence she was and how articulate and passionate

she was and how thoughtful shes in her remarks. let me tell you about [inaudible] she works at a independent community advoicate and a [inaudible] many of us know her through her work as a elected official and elected member of the board of education for san francisco unified school district [inaudible] sworn into office in the year 20 of 7 and elecktded to serve another 4 years by the people of the city and countee of san francisco in 2010. she has been since she was alected to the board of education, the chaimpian for a-g grjuation requirement frz all student of the school district. this was a crucial policy change that meant all young people in the pub lb

schools can graduate from our system and can now be edgeable to attend a 4 year yineversity. thank you for making that happen. she was also a author of the district wide [inaudible] initiative, which is a critical part of the districts disciplineary process. the impact of this initiative is very profound in terms of impacting the lives of young people. the initiative paved the way for discussions that are happening now on how to limit in school suspensions. i can tell having been a attorney for the school district many disciplineary actions are against the poor kids and kids of color. we see

a discussion of suspensions for willful defiance, which again this impacts low income and communities of color. kim she served on the board of education for a number of years and in many resects it is a thankless job. it is a thankless job that is only complicated fwhie fact that you don't get much financial comp scission for what you do. i think you still get the total sum of 500 dollars a month and yet kim approached her tenure as a full time job. she finishes her term working with things like a 5 year high school plan, making it a visible option for all student to access ap course work in san francisco unified. creating opportunities for

apprenticeships and paid internship jz supporting the student advisory cancel and creating the [inaudible] first student bill of roits. it was the parent adviceary countsal [inaudible] the board contributed to improval educational opportunities for all the cities youth and her work is especially critical when it comes to close the [inaudible] we have not only one of the highest performing urban school district izin the currentry, but in the state of california and yet in our district, affric american student that attend saf unified are performing at a lower level than african american student attending oakland unified. she is a true adrocrt for had

african american and loteeno youth and make sure they get a top rate quality education at san francisco unified. kim was born and raised in la and she was-she advocateed for childrens educational rights since 198s 6 when she was working at the holee grouv childrens society in la which is a orphan izfor emotional physical and sexually abused children and youth where she worked for more than 12 years t. is the work she did that inspired her to do educational advocacy because she saw first hand how children were impacted by that advocacy. [inaudible] her family and qu i want to mention her grand mother, amie lee, who is a sharecropper in

texas who moved to san francisco in the early 1940's. living in the fill more and renting rooms to peopling in the ship yards while working as a domestic worker her grand mother raised her daughter who is in the audience and if i may ask kim [inaudible] mom to stand and be recognized. i know that kim [inaudible] looked up to her mom all her life. her mom taught the importance of education and [inaudible] her mom went back to school and became a industrial mechanic when kim [inaudible] was in elementary school. following on that legacy of lifep long learning [inaudible] kim is planning to continue her education after

completing the term on the board of education. she is planning to attend law school and on top of that she will get a doctorate in education and a teaching credential as usf. as if [inaudible] on top of she is a track and field coach. she has a beautiful daurft [inaudible] who has a beautiful daughter herself. [inaudible] the grand daughter marly [inaudible] who a is 3 years old. i can sit and talk about kim [inaudible] for a long time because i don't know if there are enough words [inaudible] san francisco has been enriched by you and i know you have not
