specific posting just for willie brown as well so people can go on and apply just to teach at willie brown. >> okay, so it would be great to know how many of those there are and what their profile is. >> exactly. >> and how many of them also --. >> applied to the larger pool. absolutely we can follow-up. >> thank you. >> thank you. so i don't see any other comments or questions so at this time we are going to open up for public comment on this item. is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. so in terms of helping with further outreach, i assume it's for the second deadline of enrollment for the second round of enrollment, is that what we're doing with the school district is recruiting for currently? >> we were asking for support to tap into your professional networks and market our school to staff, teachers, potential

employees. >> i see. okay. you are looking for teachers and is there a second deadline for enrollment for school? >> there is a second deadline, however at this point given the fact that the data is not entered yet and we have already surpassed our goal we are probably going to fill all our seats in the first round. >> i assume you have to wait for the students to accept as well, but you feel there's a sufficient wait list that that's not going to be an issue? well, we're happy to do outreach to individuals that would be interested in teaching. i do want to thank you all for the time in presenting to this committee which has been following the development of the school for quite a while now and it was really exciting last year to get a real full and robust presentation on the actual construction of the school and what the physical elements of the school would look like to create a different learning environment around math and

science and it was really really cool to see because we certainly don't have a school like that currently. we're going to continue this topic throughout the year. last year in the fall we did have a discussion on the growing population here in san francisco and what that means for the school district in terms of potentially opening new schools and new classrooms which is a really nice and positive conversation to have because i know many of us were involved back in the early 2000's and closing schools whether we were on the school board or not, had attended many meetings. so it's exciting to talk about hitting capacity at the kindergarten and grade school level but we look forward to continuing that item. as well, i know our office and also members of this board have been really interested in the construction of a next school, mission bay is one we've talked about as well as a school of the arts. so i think we want

to continue having those discussions here at the city select committee. and finally this is just really exciting to kind of envision what a new school looks like in the bayview and i really hope that a lot of our families are excited about it and hopefully we can create a continuum with mission bay as well at the elementary level and i look forward to a discussion of where our students are going to go at the high school level, too, so that would be a continued discussion. supervisor avalos. >> i just want to say thank you for the presentation and clearly there's been a lot of work that's been put into creating the new school and it's very very exciting to see the work, the experience you have coming, mr. hobson, bringing the school together from scratch. i know you have a lot of support from the school district and the school board and wish you luck and if i can help with whatever networks i connect with to help

with your recruitment process. >> commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell. >> thank you. i just want to thank you all both so much for your support on this. this has been a lot of work from the heart. i did want to note that we brought on staff a year before we are even opening the school, which i think makes a huge difference, and both of you have been out in the community in many places doing many things. so we're really excited to see what will happen in the fall which i think will be really positive. also i just wanted to ask with regards to what you just asked of the supervisors, which is, you know, to tap into your network for teachers, are we going to be doing, it sounds like we're going to be doing recruitment from within sfusd from our own pool, but are we doing national search as well? is this 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.
