high school level, the secondary level, the middle and high school level, we actually see that our plan is to move further away from foods and more towards sfusd produced meals for our students and about 40 percent of our students at the high school are eating at foods that are produced by the sfusd staff and that is actually a much more cost effective model and provides more choice and opportunity and so we are hoping to move in that direction and so with the increased revenue from the participation and the increased number of meals, we are going it see the cost going up but the revenue stream going up significantly as well and we think that it is going to be our estimates are that it is a more cost effective model when they are all rolled out. >> we see, some of those estimates? because that is what kind of questions that we asked when the designs were rolled out is exactly that. and i would be very interested in that and, i mean that i understand that with the... which is i want all of these things to be piloted and tried, but i understand that we are

actually participation is going down in the meal programs this year. and so that is a big concern. >> and so i will just, i appreciate what you say about the three meals a day and i still have my and i know that it is inchanting the idea of the super but i am nervous about that if it is going to work so i would like to see if what we do done really slowly. but i am as you know, very, very interested in it and committed to commanding our breakfast programs because i actually think that is beside it being a core academic achievement strategy in my mind and there should not be anything else besides that, but it actually is probably the best way for us to increase revenue and therefore, balance out costs, because we are under-serving and under reimbursing our breakfast programs by huge amounts, i mean, basically we are only do a pitance. and so, any way, i just, i you

know this contract just gives me an opportunity to put some of those questions on the table and i think that we need some more information as we go along. because this and you know, the wonderful designs that we saw, and this, and then we don't see anything along the way, and i am uncomfortable with that and so i want to know about that. >> thank you commissioner wynns and i think that your points are well stated and well taken. and it is not our intent to move in any direction that will cost the district any significant financial investment beyond what we are already projecting. and until the board has had an opportunity to fully engage and have a discussion about what those costs may be, but there is really something interesting that is happening in our community and in our eco sphere if you will in that the folks

out there, including private philanthropy are enchanted with what is going on in san francisco, and the sarah and williams foundation is just one of those foundations, or organizations that have said that we are willing to do something that we never get a chance to do which is invest so that you can explore about a vision that is bolden and really, really captivating. so, this is an exciting time for us, but our commitment to the board is that, of course, you are the decision makers, and we will bring you that information and we appreciate you putting those questions on the table as well. we hope to be able to answer those, hopefully in a very positive way. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. >> are we ready for a vote? >> yes. >> casco >> thank you. >> wei. >> logan. >> yes. >> haney. >> yes. >> maufas. >> yes.

>> mendoza mcdonald muraser. >> aye. >> wynns. >> aye. >> fewer. >> norton. >> aye. >> q. superintendent proposals none, tonight. >> board members proposal? s we heard that earlier. about giving the 18-year-olds free muni, and the item s, report on the city and school district. >> would you report on that please? >> we had one item on the agenda which was an update on, and it says here on the supplemental appropriation and really it was how we are doing and now with commissioner fewer was eloquent in her enthusiasm for the how well we think that we are doing, and i think that it is surprisingly well, actually. in the percentage of students that are on track for graduation and so we did have some, or a lot of, we had a

staff presentation, from sfusd staff that was great. and i think that really i do want to say that, in my mind, one of the real reasons to have this committee though it is sometimes frustrating is that we get to present what we are doing with the school district. >> and so that, that, most of that data, in fact, all of it, i think is some things that we have actually reviewed at the board here before. but, so that was the item on the agenda and as to the sort of shoring up the support for the supplemental appropriation or at least the one that we had last year and that is probably the political purpose which was accomplished and then should we, and the next meeting is march 26th but at that meeting, what are we going to do with that meeting? >> no. >> no, we are going to do after school for all in april.

and because, in and so i don't know what we are going to do in march because the staff here is not, there is a conflict, actually the after school, for all, principal's meeting is the same afternoon. and so, that is going to be postponed until april, the third and wednesday in april and is that when it is or the fourth? >> i think that is the fourth, and thursday in april. and so, why don't we then have an update on the next board meeting because we will know exactly what it will be on the agenda. >> and most of that comes from the board of supervisors. >> yes. >> thank you very much. >> you are welcome. >> and commissioner maufas? may we have a report from the curriculum committee of march third, 2014. >> we had quite a full agenda, we had two action items for charter school renewals and, one petition to grant

alternative or deny a petition, for gateway high school charter school. and then also for to grant alternative deny the renewal petition for life learning academy charter school. and i just i don't want to just say, what the action is at the committee took, but i really do want to talk about what was presented. there at those meetings. and we did hear from the gateway community, and consisted of teachers and students and parents and alum who were able to report back really after attending some of the nation's top colleges and in attendance at the curriculum committee meeting where the principal and vice principal and executive director, i know that the curriculum committee has a few pending questions for gateway, one was regarding for myself and regarding the restorative, justice practices and that they had said that they had looked at sfusd to

incorporate at their school site, but you aels had a comment and you wanted them to respond to that question and we have agreed that we would like for them instead of just referring their responding to us at the committee level we want to send that to miss casco, so all could hear that response and do you remember what your question was? >> not at this moment. >> excuse me for not remembering and recalling that. >> but, i know that all of the commissioners will receive some of the supplemental packet answering those particular questions. vice president murase did inquire requireding the enrollment time line and it was noted that the gateway community has definitely agreed that that was a misstep and that they have rectified that to assure the community that it will not happen again and they

have included in their charter petition, an enrollment time line, that will align with sfusd schools and so that is something to be noted and i believe that is with the concerns that we may have had regarding all of the ability of all students and sfusd to have fair access to gateway's wonderful history and academic rig or and i wanted to mention that and that the committee moved to the full board the positive recommendation for that particular petition. and also, we heard from the life learning academy, and if you don't know about this school, it is located on treasure island and it has been there for the entire 15 years, and it is served the particular population, and i do want to read from the website. and it welcomes the students into an extended family which motivates everyone to give and receive support and develop the responsibility, judgment, build academic and vocational and the social skills necessary to be successful. many of our students that have

not been able to be successful in our traditional high schools and even our smaller high schools find success at life learning academy. and it truly is what i would say, an extended family for many of these students. and their experiences there are life transforming. and something that is particular to note, that executive director, dr. delane said in the history that they have not had a fight at the school, which is amazing. and so that really does speak to the idea that this is the community that builds trust, and support for students who have struggled before. and been extremely what we would term as off track and on the road to graduation. but, what was wonderful to see, is were several students and several current students that were on track to graduate, and were very, very proud and we

are also saw some alum who are off working or actually at city college now, in their post secondary academic careers and i wanted to acknowledge that work dr. delane came on her birthday which was generous of her. and the committee moved forward to the board a positive recommendation for that petition. we heard, and i will be brief, the three informational items that the committee took up which was the school quality improvement system and joe, our executive director for state and federal programs came to present and in that system it is three principles, college and career readiness for all students, two, differentiate and recognition of accountability and support and three, supporting effective leadership and instruction. this particular update focused on principle to the differentiated recognition of the accountability and support. and what was really good and is that we had a break down of

what that looks like. and with the three areas are under the principle comes the school quality improvement index, the social, emotional survey and climate and culture survey and we will develop those over time and we had an update on that and we also had a mid year update on our lea plan with dr. coffman that was submitted in 2013 and a five-year plan that was approved for the department of education in all of the years that he has worked with sfusd he believes that this year, the strategic plan and the lea plan are in alignment and there is an ongoing, sort of disconnect, right? between those two. and he really says, we have come together in three emerging themes, co-here ans, collaboration and capacity building, and he says that the report reflects a radical shift

in how we operate and so that is something to be noted as we have operated in siloand now we are sort of moving as he termed one whole cloth, and which is nice. lastly, we had the information of jrtc. and i am going to take the blame for not really being very specific. with the mr. san der son about what we needed to see coming forward and what we did get all and of the commissioners did get was a binder of the curriculum which is one component which is to see what is the current curriculum being used by the instruct ors, but what was requested and i missed this. and president fewer, was really able to articulate it. and we will know what will be expected at the curriculum committee meeting which will be these three questions, does the curriculum provide academic rigor?

are we able to provide analysis if jrtc curriculum alines with sfusd rigorous standards? can we assess it for content and knowledge? and are the students absorbing that knowledge, necessary to pack the course with validity? or could they possibly, three, get that knowledge elsewhere? those questions will be hopefully answered by our staff at the next curriculum committee meeting and that is my report. >> thank you very much. >> and any announcements? >> yes. >> and just very briefly. i wanted to say that commissioner maufas and i attended the first book give away on march first book. hundreds of teachers lined up at 9:00 in the morning to get into the sports basement store on 16th and bryant and special thank you to the sports base sxment they were incredible and opened up the store for a week,

and they were, and they had 42,000 books, in the loading bay at the store. and it was just an amazing event, to see all of these teachers lining up so early to get the free books for their kids. >> wynns? >> thank you, i just wanted to and i actually made a presentation at the california alliance for school based health last week and the conference was in oakland and board members there and i really wanted to give credit to and thank the staff from the wellness center of mission high school who were there actually i was talking about the clinics and the wellness center and my talks so they were very happy about that and so i was glad to see them there and i wanted to acknowledge them and i wanted to say one other thing which i am sorry that i was out of the room and if we did the svac presentation and i think that we should note that the state has received a waiver letter

from the secretary of education. and so, the threatened we will not give you any money if you don't actually provide the no child left behind required test this year has not materialized. in fact this is really good news for our efforts, and not the state's efforts in which we participate to evolve to a better assessment system. so if anybody was worried about it not to worry now. >> thank you. >> any other comments? >> yes, commissioner maufas? >> thank you. i just wanted to reflect on one attending event that i did last night with the superintendent. which was the plan ahead celebration for our work, and i am going to leave out one of the supporters and it is the pearson foundation and the gap, sfusd and our other parter superintendent? i may? >> hersh and associations and pearson. >> thank you. >> and really coming together,

under the leadership of dr. valinteno and his team and, their team in curriculum and instruction, and our deputy superintendent garelo really to celebrate, actually all of the work and how successful the program has been and as a superintendent highlighted that it is in battle tested by our teachers in our classrooms and in tweaked to where it is really the curriculum that it is supposed to be so much so that it is the department of labor came out to san francisco unified school district and was so impressed that they have actually posted it on the website and it is now an open source throughout the state of california. curriculum, and accessible to all and is it actually national, and i just want to check that, i hear that it has gone national? >> it has gone national. >> that is amazing and that is all started here in san francisco unified school district and so congratulations to us and congratulations to the cni team and the deputy superintendent.

>> thank you. >> commissioner haney. >> also i attended an event where commissioner wynns and were at the spamalot musical and the school of the arts and blown away and it was incredible and yeah, commissioner wynns and i took a self-ie as well. and so, no it was a incredible, performance of the folks out there and i don't think that they are performing any more. but, they have a number of other performances throughout the year and they have a musical every year and commissioner mendoza was there as well. and so just had a great time. and it was nice to spend the evening with commissioner wynns as well. >> thank you. >> great and i just wanted to report that i participated in read allowed day this week and inthraled or terrified the children with the greek mythology and also i attended a

(clapping)

>> so thank you all for coming out this morning, i'm edward reiskin i'm the director of transportation here in san francisco. happy to see you all here we're going to need everybody's help here today. where i will start we're lucky san francisco is a great city and one of the most walkable city if not in the world it attracts people here. it's a great city to walk around and be in. however, we we have a problem and the problem is people are getting killed in our streets and that shouldn't be happening pr it's unacceptable people are getting killed my seriously injured it's traefblg not only

for the families especially for the families to whom it happens but for our whole city but the good news is it's preventable every one of those dedicates and serious injuries is preventable. the good news behind that is that we have great leadership in the city as manifested by the strong and power showing of folks behind me that are focused and committed and dedicated to preventing those serious collisions and fatality collisions so we get the benefits of our beautiful walkable city without worrying about getting hurt or killed. at the top of that primer is our chief collective who has brought people together to solve problems. i think what we're going to talk

about today is the epitomize any so it's my enclosure to welcome to the mike mayor ed lee. (clapping.) >> thank you, ed for that introduction. of course, i prefer being outside somebody said it might rain but i'd love to be drenched by rain it's good for our city i want to thank you all the board of supervisors who have been with the pedestrian safety strategic with me. not only myself and personal resident and residential leaders of different community each supervisor a has given me the personal accounts of the dangerous intersection of the people who were lost of severely injured it's personal. i want to say today rather than

having years where all of us in office are saying we're sorry for something to happen we'll rather be saying thank you for you for yielding and not running the red lights and thank you for not speeding. that's also going to be better than saying i'm sorry. this is what groups have taught us advocates in they're right and well deserving they have a loud voice not city but we should have loud easier and hearing about more being thankful. it begins with what was yourness you've heard about the awareness program that muni and other agencies are proechlt through attorneys whether it's radio or television or 3ri7bd materials

on our buses we'll get them on the taxi spaces to get people to make sure that they know they can make themselves safer and drivers need to be safer and everybody on the road safer. the awareness champion can't work on its own. a good part of that and i'm always tafl to our police department is an increase of 12 percent i want to thank. them i know there's other valuable time by they okay. this is important preventing deaths and injuries. i will say to you this i've asked the police department awhile i do an awareness champion that says be nice and

look twice i'm asking my officers not to be so nice enforcement is about the discipline in people's behavior they're not going to be nice when they see persons not yielding when red lights are run, and when speeding occurs puc. i'm asking our police officers not to be nice because that enforcement should have effects on people's behavior. supervisor avalos and supervisor chiu and all the intrifrz we don't want to say we're sorry. last year was the highest number of faltsdz in our city and traffic collisions we need to do more about it. so we're unveiling that and reminding everyone that traffic

enforcement will be there throughout the city and we have evidence to back it up. the pedestrian strategic group that's he represented behind me buts by everyone and advocacy groups have taken a look at at the data that's improved more and more and built upon straevenlz of other cities and we've come up with a provided list of areas in of the city that represents the 6 percent of the street grids they end up being the sites where the fatalities happen and we need to focus on those right now and right away. even though we have $50 milli
