into a school and city resign i didn't day reserve 25 percent will go to schools and 75 to the city reserves under measure c the school district will withdraw up to half of the money in years it expects 20 collect less money for students he and will have to layoff employees the school board overrides those and withdraws any school reserves if you vote yes. you want the city to amend the certifies for families by extending the children's fund by 25 years and step forward the public education fund for a 26 years and creating our children and our families council and dividing the existing rainy refer so is a city and school

rainy refer if you vote no, you do not want to the city to make the changes to the charter i'm here with santa drive fewer with the division and board of education and are a proponent we're joined by marcie the lib terrain a proponent thank you folks for joining us starting with opening president fewer and so measure c is a ballot measure under the battle to authorizing a person of the general fund to be set diode aside to provide services to the city government san francisco youth the children's fund. >> you public enrichment fund to join together to better lion the services those fund have been providing education for thousands of children in

sophistication for example, this fund as 73 drenlz to liernsz and people's 3 p e teachers and engineering and math so this is has a great impact on san francisco children for the past decade and so we hope to reauthorize it thank you. >> you're opening remarks ms. berry. >> the lib terrain has recommended a no vote on this proposal because we have challenged with all 3 components of the proposal first of all, the children's fund does not just fund science and magnet and those kinds of things there are 3 things of what it funds a lot of services every time services go up obviously new innovative education goes down so that's one challenge we see the other

challenge is that the rainy day fund is also part of this proposal they're old rainy day fund in existence it was the board of supervisors and the mayor that decided how it would be assessed now we have two fund one is going to, accessed by the briefcase. >> given of the stemmed one hundred and 9 stemmed thousand children only a house will this impact the cost to families. >> it will make it easier for the families to live here there's no increase in the taxed also it's easy for families to live here not assessing the services by art and pe and

science those kinds of things that parents have to pay for out-of-pocket often we this liv also funds that the release for families coming to san francisco as a forgotten i have to pay out of pocketed having counseling at schools and much the medical services anothers school sites. >> how do you respond. >> i'm assuming we're talking about the idea if i have all those services then the population will increase the public utilities population will increase this is incorrect the reason that families move into the city only to see whether the

education system is teaching their children how to write and read how to fill out a job application in euphoric on services that's not what a family it looking for how is the children learn that's why we're concerned about the increase of services as opposed to complete emphasis on the type of education mode of education innovative i'm sorry innovative way of teaching which were we haven't talked about other modes will besides the public utilities there recent teachers in front of the class let's put you fund on that. >> what happened to this measure lead to hire enrollment rates and in san francisco is there accurate funding for

teacher to student ratio. >> this funds a lot of academies science and technology and engineering and math all the technology first of all, there's never enough money in our public education we have so you're asking is this accurate 23u7bd absolutely not providing children with the well education they deserve and he have to say that san francisco we're proud of the san franciscans that voted for this seeing the need for the social responsibility and so the answer to your question we are predicting much hyper enrollment rates and hope to serve all our families are a quality high rated we're one of

the top in the state of california with a our skufbtd we hope to choose to use our public school. >> with what are your thoughts. >> i think that services are the key could enrollment and good education we're looking at to read the proposal you'll see two pages of things that have absolutely nothing to do with fires or magnet true the enrichment funding they're providing amenities, however, i think that so much services when our funding those for example, one that is clearly in the proposition is drug and help with drug use or help with the lgbt issues people help with things we call local services

but again, a family does not move in or live in public utilities to access the services that has to do with the things i've mentioned but how the children are learning i'll agree there never will be enough the more there is the more spent there is no ability to keep any cap on the spending so if we have more funding we're going to have more services so do we have enough funding for a population probably not and never will. >> thank you so we'll start with final thoughts we'll begin with you ms. berry. >> yes. i think that the idea services are they increasing is a good thing perhaps something

that should be rethought if we're increasing services that means that somewhere in the family their education system somewhere there's a huge breakdown there is mammoth failure if we go by the services; right? the thing to do not view the rise of services not so good and a therefrom emphasis as i say the education education is easily measured can our child get out of school and go to college or got a profession or fill out a application florida no we've failed. >> your final thoughts. >> surely education is the first mission we have a college

culture in our schools and a graduation rate in california we're at top our students do well but it's difficulty difficult for the families to live here you see the majority of children below the poverty level what their incomes are like the reason we have the educational experience and we're saying that 73 teachers and librarians is a service but i disagree with you i think this the proposition that zero all the libraries and i don't think that the art teachers i think they're a necessity to provide a well-rounded education so i

would urge everybody to vote yes on measure b it's for our children and the future of san francisco. >> thank you both firing time and your comments we hope this dissuasion has been forgive for more information invest sf election.org remember earlier voting is at city hall from 8 to 4 and vote earlier at city hall from and if you don't vote early >> hi today we have a special edition of building san francisco, stay safe, what we are going to be talking about san francisco's earth quakes, what you can do before an earthquake in your home, to be
