posted all over the country for people to come, a way for people to come to san francisco? that's question no. 1. secondly besides teachers what are some of the other positions that you are considering? >> yes, we are sending out the post to national platforms like career builder, indeed, ed join is another one. my linked in profile and you can post it through your linked in profile as well, it's posted on the sfusd hr portal and i believe hr has that general protocol of making positions open through all those other portals nationwide. so we do have some interest from the midwest, the east coast and the south. so here is a list of positions, to answer your second question. you have 8 classroom teachers and then the assistant principal we are hiring office

staff we also need a special education teacher, the health care center we have to staff out, there's also security, custodians and paraprofessionals. >> excellent. thank you. and then i know one of the other things we are wants to do is to get more engagement with public private partnerships, especially as an art and tech school and really bringing in some of the industry. and so what are some of your thoughts around that as we walk away from there so that when we're out and about we're thinking about who would be most appropriate to invest in the schools, support the school, be champions. >> currently for the social emotional support and learning, especially around the peer

practices, we've partnered with peer practices. we have the partnership with stanford. in fact we will attend a thinking training in february for the design thinking training. the puc, public utilities commission, is another agency that has been supporting us and looking at the resources we need and what resources they can provide to support us and so has dcyf >> thank you. >> thank you. commissioner fewer. >> yes, i just wanted to mention that i am hoping that we have an emphasis on hiring from within first and within san francisco. i think that this school is in an area where the personnel that we're looking for has to be very culturally sensitive to what's happening in the area and also to the students that they are teaching. also we have started a lot of initiatives in san francisco that we've embraced

whole-heartedly and restore tif practice is one of them and rti and also you know, our stat tee strategic plan is equity focused and we are rare in school districts about that and about a ratio in he can equity we're trying to balance out. hiring within, most people are aware of that, they know exactly what we're about and also in particular about these students who liver -- live in this area. i think a great partner for this area could be ai, we -- aim high. and would you please be reminded to send an invitation to every supervisor when we cut the blue ribbon or red ribbon or gold ribbon or whatever ribbon color it is on willie brown because any time we build a new school for the children of san francisco it is

celebration regardless of whatever district you live in. thank you. >> commissioner wynns. >> i just wanted to say that we still need to be doing outreach to students because we know that we don't -- i mean the fact we have so many first choices is fantastic. that is something that i'm going to guess no school in the southeast part of school can say forever since we've had these choices and that is testament to everybody's work, notably yours. but, you know, just like any college or anybody else, you -- i always hated this term, but there's a yield and you know, we're pretty close to the number, so we're going to need people. we're going to need people and be so happy to have people clamoring to get in but there are some kids who get in

who are not going to come so we still have to do outreach and we particularly have to do it because one of our issues is that this is a neighborhood where there's a high percentage of people who don't participate in the first round. so we still need to do outreach for them and i'm volunteering. i will help. thank you. >> well, seeing no other -- commissioner mendoza -- seeing no other comments or questions, congratulations, we look forward to working with you in preparation of the new school year in august and please lean on us for support because we really do want this to be a successful venture for the school district. so seeing no other items, can we take a motion to file this item so we will take that motion and we will do that without opposition. madam clerk, are there any other announcements? >> there are none other, madam chair, today. that's it. >> thank you, madam clerk.

commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell. >> i'm sorry, i just wanted to thank supervisor avalos and supervisor farrell for your support on the committee. these are always really good conversations for us to share and to have so i just wanted to thank you from the school board for your -- for showing up and participating and really sharing some of your ideas over the course of these last few months, so thank you. >> agreed. and they will continue to be involved in the dialogue around schools and families regardless of whether they sit on this committee. i know supervisor avalos is super instrumental in the children's fund and public enrichment conversation and that will continue to happen and we look forward to hearing on the shared schoolyards project that supervisor farrell continues to lead on the city end. so without further ado, our next meeting item will likely be on the pre-k hearing that our office called in the fall and we look forward to that

conversation, particularly in light with the reauthorized childrens fund and public enrichment fund and that will likely be in february. commissioner wynns. >> we still had not had the hearing on the expansion of afterschool programs so if we can do that one time. >> we are happy to do that. >> i'm not going to say when we should have it, we should ask associate superintendent truett when they think would be best. >> we do have that item on afterschool for all and we will work with the school district to calendar that. thank you, meeting adjourned. (meeting adjourned). . welcome to north beach.

sunny day. thank you everybody for coming out. especially if i if i may special thanks to all of our board of supervisor who are here today. elected officials, our commissioners, police and fire department. people. the city are recreational about our libraries, all of this is is better up here. many of whom i've engaged in many dialogues around the last month. i want to say thank you everyone for getting your input to me. you

know, i want to say that this is an exciting day. while my little tired because of all the activities of the last 30 years, i had to do a marathon i know that this isn't, district 3, is a very, dated, very diverse, and one of the most exciting districts in all of san francisco. >>, >> >> i recognize that because i spent a good part of my adult professional career indecision degree in chinatown and i know that chinatown, north beach told rafael, russian hill, nabil, both lower and upper and middle, middle upper, lower you know, fisherman's wharf, the financial adjuster, the

waterfront, it's incredible diversity that makes up this district. that's why when i had a many many chats with david chiu before he successfully left his position to kind of understand what he had gone through as a supervisor for this district, it's no less important that every other district in san francisco. i say to you with great gratitude to the members of the board because i know that for the last 30 days i spent some great time here and i kind of put myself a little bit in what a supervisor would do on a daily basis. i was down there at lombard street on the backside making sure that cliff wasn't going to be following when we got those heavy rains. i reordered myself for what i did many years ago i'm just walking the streets as i had copied with different people of different interests. to talk about what this district needed.

and quickly came to the conclusion, after so much great input by people, that they wanted someone who recognized the strength of this diverse community in this gesture. was willing to spend hours understanding the issues, glistening before acting, but then acting to make sure things got done. and when whether it was potholes, transportation, housing, safety, all these things, cultural, art, playgrounds, families, seniors, renters, property owners as well, all of that came in to play and was all the diverse topics that had to be covered. i also came to the conclusion that i needed to find someone who had the experience as well as the commitment to do this job and you know, i even had a chance to talk with several

members of the current board of supervisors to kind of see what they go through on a daily basis and i've been with them as i've gone through different core doors of the city. i have shared with them the things that come my way along with things that come their way and will more we've gotten together closer with the board of supervisors. and i hope that's been reflected in the kind of conversations we had have had on a citywide basis. but getting back to the station, it gave me a really good sense of what it needed and the characteristics of a person, they are compassion as well as their advocacy for this district become very important. well you know, i want to say that i found somebody that reflected that. someone who spent a good 20+ years living in this district. a business owner. a small business owner, but also somebody that has been also out here putting together

campaign after campaign to improve parks, preserve open space, improve that open space . i've known julie since my city administrator days when she and so many others told me here to make sure we got those library done. isn't this a fantastic library, jeff [applause] >> i wouldn't say it's no longer your grandfather's grandmothers library. this is an interactive library with so many generations of people. same things that happened with this joe dimaggio part with julie's leadership and leadership of this board and relationships that are being built. >> [applause] >> i also want to say this.

that i know you should know, this is been a very, dated decision-making. i've had to talk -- the way i make a decision was to write was the right way. it somebody that i did before and that is talk to the people. make sure that you make a connection to the people live here who work here every day. get their input because that's going to ground this decision. i did that and i got grounded very quickly and i'm confident that worked on have a lot of shared stories, a lot of shared history, but a lot of shared accomplishments of julie christiansen. you know, i've seen in her the spark, the innovative spirit mike the dynamism that this district needs. i know that she will be as much a advocate for this area of the city as she will be for chinatown, for polk street, for venice, cover all parts of the entire district. i know she will do that because she's got that spirit and that commitment. i know that she will also reach across to all the members of the board of supervisors and be a good compatriot i'm at a good

supervisor that works with the others. as she clearly has a support. and so, i'm excited to introduce to you someone who has been a very good figure here, but also an active person, capers district but also someone who is now going to be in the public round representing all of this district neighborhood and supervisor. please, let me present to you the next supervisor for district 3, julie christiansen. >> [applause] >> okay let's take this moment and just take a breath. i'm usually hounding the past to talk to them. it's kind of interesting to go the other way around. people asked how far i'd be willing to go to look after district 3 and i hope this answers the question. i want to thank mayor lee. when a

person puts this kind of trust in you it's kind of awe-inspiring and i am truly humbled by the confidence that he has in my ability to take on this important district especially because i know how important this district is to him traditionally. i'm very grateful for that. it's interesting to me that mayor lee started out as a community activist and as a civil servant and only entered politics when he felt that was the way to do more. i know were all grateful for that and i take it to heart because although it was not my original intention to come into politics, i decided that the way that i can get done some of the things we need to get done in district 3. and so i am honored to put myself in the service of the city. district 3 , interesting place. i know just ask arlette showed everybody thinks there's a special. ours is special. we

are the cradle of san francisco. it's where the city started in our neighborhoods were the first neighborhoods of the city. consequently, we are exceptionally dense compact area. we supply a lot of housing to the city of san francisco and so while the city's attention is a lot on the shiny baubles to the south and to the west of us, we are doing our bit to provide housing for thousands and thousands of people. and that -- we traded we've traded our parking, our spacious apartments, even our backyards. we've traded that for a coziness and a compactness. we've traded it for a community and for affordability. i think for all of us who love the charm of north beach imac we also recognize the fact that it's affordability is what keeps it covers and keeps it interesting and what makes it district 3 and so surely, one of the main

goals for anyone in my office needs to be to keep our neighborhoods are affordable to keep the families and the seniors that i work a lot with, to make sure that they can stay here to keep the wide variety of people that we have, the aetna ethnicities the economic levels, the professional pursuits, we are proudly diverse neighborhood. we want to stay that way. affordability also means accessibility and some of you know, i've been involved in transportation efforts to try to make our residences at our jobs more accessible. we supply a lot of jobs in this neighborhood, especially lower and medium skill levels and we want to make sure people can get to work. we want make sure that workers that within our neighborhoods can get to their jobs elsewhere. it's not a good thing to the 30 on not being the emblem of stalled transit across the city. so, we need to

work on the infrastructure in our neighborhood. we love our streets. we love their walk ability and their charm and we want to find a way to keep our street safe and fun to be on. a joy for visitors as well as residents. so we need to work on the infrastructure that will allow us to remain mobile in the district. because we are so dense, we don't have a lot of open space so our parks have been a passion of mine. we are grateful to bill ginsburg and his department for working with us on the joe dimaggio playground. is he is luis here? in the library who helped us this beautiful new library and did many of the people that stand behind me. and so, we need to take extra care to provide services to the people

that live in this neighborhood. that is a passion of mine that's surely not going to change. we are the golden goose for the city. we have the shopping, we have the business centers, we have the tors and centers. i think surely every visitor to san francisco comes to district 3. we welcome them. we do our bed best to provide for that but making sure we can do that and was that's pleasurable for both visitors and for residents is another important task. so, all of these things by before us. i think those of you who know me, i hope no me as an honest and fair and passionate person. always willing to have a chat. that surely is not going to change. it's kind of fun being waged here. i feel like my neighborhood family in front of me and my city family behind me. the supervisors and the department personnel mayor's office, they have worked with us so well in the past on important neighborhood projects and i surely hope that will only improve. and i am grateful to all of you. a special shout

out to my husband, greg smith. there is quite? there in the back and my sister, eileen a christiansen who got very early to fly in from portland to fly in today to be here today. who represents a loving family elsewhere. but, this is a pretty major decision and having greg's support in all this is key. i certainly could not have even consider this without him. so, it's that the medic 28 suffragette and these have lots of years of practice i'm afraid. but, but also to all of you. really guys, this is our date this is your day. a lot of us have worked together for a couple -- >> [applause] georgia signed sealed delivered. >> signed sealed delivered. so we work together. some whispers long as 20 years. i think that's -- nothings going to change about the way we do things. we have search for opportunities. we have solved problems. we have, in a civil and respectful and progressive

manner dived into the really tough questions for our district and whether it's making clay tower accessible or providing adequate levees services with or whether it's creating the kind of open space we want to keeping our streets safe, keeping lombard from being crushed by falling ficus trees we know how to work together and we done it well and the victories of our efforts are all around us. my hope is we have many many more to come. because of a powerful lever in city hall now and you know all worked very hard for you. so, thank you all very much for your support in the past. i'm going to need it in the future and thank you to the mayor into the city family for their support. thank you all. >> [applause] >> thank you so i think julie is to get some well-deserved congratulations and kisses from her friends family. and if

there's other questions i can take them to decide. thank you very much for being your ticket by day in san francisco. thank you. >> >> 7 and a half million renovation is part of the clean and safe neighbor's park fund

which was on the ballot four years ago and look at how that public investment has transformed our neighborhood. >> the playground is unique in that it serves a number of age groups, unlike many of the other properties, it serves small children with the children's play grounds and clubhouses that has basketball courts, it has an outdoor soccer field and so there were a lot of people that came to the table that had their wish list and we did our best to make sure that we kind of divided up spaces and made sure that we kept the old features of the playground but we were able to enhance all of those features.

>> the playground and the soccer field and the tennis fields and it is such a key part of this neighborhood. >> we want kids to be here. we want families to be here and we want people to have athletic opportunities. >> we are given a real responsibility to insure that the public's money is used appropriately and that something really special comes of these projects. we generally have about an opportunity every 50 years to redo these spaces. and it is really really rewarding to see children and families benefit, you know, from the change of culture, at each one of these properties >> and as a result of, what you see behind us, more kids are playing on our soccer fields than ever before. we have more girls playing sports than we have ever had before.
