>> i have a feeling that julia is going to invite me to a fund-raiser. >> behind you, thank you. >> and thank you for sharing your experience. >> thank you. and jj i want to tell you the impact, that this had on 7 students and i know that they were on dr. marshall's show on street soldiers, are they going to return this when they return back to school, i noticed where you went to school and i saw the track uniform that you are wearing, are you going to share that with the fellow students? >> yeah, i did. i primarily shared it with my history class and just kind of my teacher was really interested because that is what we were learning about at the time and to hear it first hand because we are learning about the atlantic slave trade and i was able to give the brutal truth and for me that was orewarding because i know that a lot of kids are sheltered and don't understand and i can't say that i have understood because i have been reading the same textbooks my entire life and not fully understanding how strong and how proud i should be to be of african decent.

and so to actually go to my class and share with all of my, you know, peers exactly what has happened in the unspoken truth, was just more rewarding than anything. >> i have to say that i am working on, i got a pretty good relationship with the school district, and at this point, pretty good. and really good, so i am working on it with the officers now, on getting into schools, and to talk to the young people. and as early as september. and when they get back in. and so, are you, where are you currently and what school are you currently in? >> at saint ignatious. >> oh, you are at si? >> yes. >> go cats. >> so, we will work on getting, you know, maybe a little bit of release time, so that you can come and talk, because we have got to get this, back and get

you in front of the young people right away when the school starts, so we will work on that too. >> thank you. >> we are working on that, a video too as well. to show the family and friends. what took place and how they were impacted and the video is almost complete, and in early august, we are looking at a showing and so i will be sure to get all of you guys the location so that you can come out. >> and will do. >> we will be there. >> thank you, jj, i am very proud of you. >> iesha great job. >> call line item 2 b. >> occ director's report. discussion, and review of recent activities. >> director hicks? >> good evening, president mazzucco. and commissioner, and chief suhr and members of the

so full of great energy, and joy, and the police officers i noticed that there was a lot of photographs of them and all of the joy that they were exhibiting and i want to thank the pride alliance for including us and i think that julia also has a sash, and so i am glad to see that special treatment for the vice president and it was a beautiful day to be in san francisco and i was able to have two of my kids with me and some friends and it was a wonderful celebration and i think that the department as usual did a great job of maybing sure that every community recognizes that this department sees them in the city and represents them and represented by the community, it is a beautiful day. anything that i missed vice president >> i should add for those who watched on tv it was great to see the commentator was inspector from the police department and it was proud to see that the police department was at the forefront of this. >> she did a great job by the way. >> i have to tell you if you are giving shouts out, nobody

passed up chuck lynberg of the southern station, had the crowds and tens and tens of thousands of people whipped into such of a lather that it was unbelievable and it was getting one side of the street to go against the other side of the street. and he had this truck with a sound system and it was, i mean that we were absolutely a item in the parade, we are not just participants, it was fun. >> great. >> thank you, everybody. >> line two d. >> commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration at future commission meetings. next week, we are dark, that is july 9th. and also, the week after is the third wednesday, and we are dark also and then the next meeting will be the 23rd, and in the mission district at james link middle school which

is 1220 noah street and that is 6:00 p.m. on the 23rd. >> the reason that we are going dark is that we will be complete without the commission staff and the chief will be getting some training, and the well needed training and the f.b.i. academy and train them and any commissioners that are on vacation at that time of year and so i apologize to everybody, but it is july and things are going to slow down a bit. >> commissioner loftus? >> i just have one request, we do have a quarterly statistics from the about the bicycle pedestrian safety resolution that we did. so, i want to give us enough time to have some time to look at that data with the folks and then present it. so i don't know if there is a date that works in august. and inspector monroe that works with the calendar? >> the 6th or the 13th? and when the district on the 27th?

>> and so the 6, 13, or 27. >> okay, if this or my colleagues are okay, if we could hold the 13th, so that we can make sure that there is enough time, to bring that quarterly report focus. >> and i will be meeting with the attorney office regarding the first amendment of the police officers and put that together and that should be happening next week. >> okay. >> it is now time for public comment on-line items 2 a, b, c, or d. >> any public comment regarding that incredible report by officer jefferson? hearing none, public comment is closed. call line item number three. >> adjournment.

this presentation. >> good evening commissioners and thank you for seeing us early, we really appreciate it. with me tonight on my team i have [inaudible] nicole [inaudible], [inaudible] coach jordan paxia and people services administrator, ben coughman. it's our privilege to report to you tonight on the progress on

the support of schools resolution and last year and the year to come around the school quality improvement index . it's a school's resolution [inaudible], et cetera, etc. we encompass a large number of different strains of work in the district, but the great rock and roll singer from my generation, neil young was heckled one night from a member of the audience that said, hey man, all your songs sounds the

same. and he stepped up to the microphone and said, that's because it's all one song, man. [laughter] -- that's where he is right there. that's because the one song we sing is the song of second strategy and strategic plan. our role is very clear to us and that is to provide academic support to all students using intervention model. all of this work fits together and the safe and supportive schools resolution is designed to be very supportive of that in all of its elements so we'll be talking about that tonight. tonight i want to share with you really quickly we've got

some good news, some challenges and the progress on the resolution so far. first the good news, we are seeing a dramatic drop in overall suspensions. we're 50 percent of where we were three years ago so that's just a really phenomenal drop. i know you're going to ask me why that is. and i'll tell you there are any number of theorys going around where we know the total is this year, but we're cleaning up [inaudible] the network is going to take a few more days at the end of the year and hopefully we'll be more clear when we look at which divisions have dropped more than other divisions and so on. i wanted to share this with you because this is a phenomenal

drop. unfortunately the disproportionalty still manifests itself. even though we are suspending half the number of latino and african american students who with your suspending three years ago, fully dropped by half as well, you can see the columns there on the left and right, the left is african american suspensions remaining steady at 50% and latino remaining steady at 30%. just to reemphasize, the number of students of color that have been suspended has dropped by half, but the disproportionalty is still a huge issue. we have -- my predecessor had the thought to put in out of school office referrals, when you send a kid to a counseling office. and we set up a robust simple

system to use. we have enhanced that system and this year for the first time we are seeing it very widely used. nevertheless, some schools are using it and some aren't, and through the resolution we're going to be asking schools next year for everyone, whenever a kid is sent out of the classroom that it's reported to the system. when you look at the thousands of referrals that we received, all the referrals for the kids being put out of class for discipline, you see a mass for disproportionalty again. you know, so we can see that there's a lot of support needed here. i wanted to give you that picture before moving on.

so some other good news. the biggest umbrella work that goes around for disproportionalty and discipline is the behavioral response to intervention work and it is well ahead of schedule. we have -- over the last couple months we've had extensive discussions at the bay view and they have stepped in unmasked to behavioral arts next year and we are recalibrating our resources so they can come in as well as the folks we had already promised to come in. we now next year would have 85 schools in behavioral rti, which leaves only 18 to go the year after. so we're actually a year ahead of schedule in terms of entering folks into the training. so that's positive news and you'll here a little bit more about some of the aspects of the training for the safe and supportive resolution.

the other thing that's really interesting is that civic center and high schools have stepped forward and said we can't wait for next year to step into behavioral our child. we need the support now. we're creating within next year's cohort, a high school cohort to bring them in a year early because we feel like they need they support right now. in fact, the work with civic center has already gun under the leadership. that work is already underway because there's a real urgent need there. we're very excited and also really working hard to be ready for the high school because it's a little bit different. and then the rest of the high schools will go the following year so that's good news. i think we're moving a little faster than originally anticipated. going into the resolution, for that i want to turn it over to

pbs coach jordan. >> thank you. at the moment we have 47 schools in premier and cohorts and we have begun developing and have developing various matrixes that have set forth [inaudible] being safe, being responsible and being respectful. a plus is that developing consistency across the schools, while at the same time giving schools an opportunity to have their own voice in these matrixes. maybe it's developed based on a mascot, a geographic location or even a motto. part of what we're doing in developing these matrixes is we're also providing coaching and professional development on ways to teach and reenforce these expectations at school sites. and something that we are looking to do in the future and that we've already started to

do is develop discipline flowcharts at the schools so we want to make sure there's a common understanding of behaviors that are managed in the classroom and those that are not. >> okay, thank you. so one of the big changes [inaudible] there are certain things that need to happen next year and are in the resolution. one thing -- we ran to draft a administrative directive, we're working on that that prohibits [inaudible] further resolution. it's going to very importantly mandate documentation of all suspensions and referrals. we do need to get that data. it's also going to document all disciplinary sends homes or suspensions as being a couple of concerns in the community that maybe kids were being sent home with permission to leave

for disciplinary reasons and so we want to clear that up and make sure that's clear that cannot happen. and ensure that students cannot return to schools without a parent or guardian present. if we say we -- we shouldn't be saying you can't come back without a parent, we want to make that very clear. for the implementation roll out part i want to introduce nicole. >> since the resolution was passed in february, we had a free community stakeholder meeting beginning early may to both present what people services has been doing in regard to this and also to solicit feedback. we are a little bit of a stopping point right now because it's summertime.

our next step is going to be working with parents, administrators, all people at school sites. it sounds like a very big endeavor, and it is, but the good news is that because we've been engaged in this work we have 47 schools already and we're doing it anyway for [inaudible] schools that i think will go a little faster because i believe the experience that the administrators and teachers and other people on school sites will really quicken this work. as you can see by the end of 2015, we want to have a matrix and a code of conduct in the handbook. >> this year we had -- we did a pilot with [inaudible] alternative to suspension,

which turned out to be very successful. what we said to middle and high school students, if you're going to suspend a child, could you possibly offer two saturdays instead so it keeps the child in school and then they come to pupil services on saturdays for saturday mornings and we do an intake, we do a triage of what their needs are, social emotional learning and some curriculum and literacy work. we were just really overwhelmed by the positive response. we had over 70 kids come who avoided suspension and on the last saturday we had a bbq in which more than a dozen folks who weren't even there for the suspension came for the barbecue. that was a really interesting

and positive experience and we feel that this might be part of future alternatives to suspension. in order to meet the needs of, basically, the section, the strategy and strategic plan for response intervention, we are redefining the roles of all the people at pupil services. to tell you a little bit about that is pupil services administrative ben coughman. >> good evening. this -- what we're doing in pupil services is extremely exciting. what we're developing are multidisciplinary teams to be able to effectively both support our schools and also build their capacity. and in terms of building their capacity, what we're doing is our teams are made up of the people on the powerpoint.

we have the administrators, peer resources, the [inaudible] counselors and school help staff, school workers and health nurses. we're doing this at grade level. our goal is to be able to reduce the silos to be able to integrate how we intervene in the moment and provide the on site professional development to our school wide development and restorative practices and our goal is to have a unified front around that work and that's part of why we're developing the [inaudible]. >> what were -- what's the bcba again and the pps administrator? what are those? >> behavioral analyst, and what they are is sometimes we have young people at our sites that require a higher level of care and a greater focus on really identifying what behaviors are

acting as barriers to them being able to access their education. so we have adults within our department that will work with them to develop behave support plans for our young people. our goal is to be able to support so we have administrator for elementary level, we have administrator for middle schools and for high schools. a: thank you. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> so i know there's been some concern from the community. this resolution is great, but how are you going to support it with funding and so on. i just want to say we have already in place, due to the wonderful work of the safety

team and the peef committee, we have over 23 full-time employees in place to work on these peef initiatives and you can see them. we have [inaudible] that's where the board certified [inaudible] come from and [inaudible] ready to go and in fact trained and ready to go. and so we do also have another set of aspects that's going through the budgeting process, one of them being saturday school that i mentioned to you, but i just want to assure the board that this work will be very robust next year going forward, even as we [inaudible]. thank you very much commissioners. if you have any questions, i'm here at your service. oh, and i meant to say the pa
