background when the committee was originally formed through the board of education resolution in 2003 that asks for wells policy and commissioner wynns was destructible that led the work and it required the formation of a superintendant committee we have been meeting ever since and we have a presence on the sf website we are focused on supporting the district and the design implement enforcement of wells policy our current work a really stayed focused on there are many reasons why i'll go into that on the next slide we do to the revive this policy we developed recommendations extensive work it was a lot of collaboration and a lot of research by city

staff by district staff, community-based organizations and members of the public we developed the recommendation and submitted them to the district leadership team the superintendant and the sfusd leadership team and we also copied you all on those at the end of the december 2013 since that time we've been continuing to meet with the leadership team to review the recommendations that it's been a interim process and wonderful partnership with the district we've reviewed the draft recommendations that the district staff has come forth to provide input that woefd held public meetings to engage more stakeholders the reason that we this is done there is a lot of changes in the federal and state guidelines with a hunger active

program there are many changes he wanted to make sure the local district policy was taking into consideration all the changes as well as current best practices by the school district it's important to codify the practices we began with the wellness policy from previous years and built on it we tried to focus on centralizing the associate justices through food and physical education we i'd like the framework of the districts strategy plan focusing on access and equality and 50k9d ability so symany recognized was collared in how it advanced each of those we clifford included the scientific literature on the physical education achievement and health and tried to end the best practices with other

scapegoats we utilized district specific data an student health and the achievement gap and used this opportunity to really strengthen physical education and physical activity component of the wellness policy so our next steps with going to be to continue to provide input to the district wellness leadership team object the policy that is being trod we'll do that through the committees where this policy will be advanced and we'll also work with the superintendent staff to support the prelims we wanted to call out we know the implementation of the policy will require the resources so for the first reading in the implementation section and the evaluates and monitoring we had really support this i wanted to with that is just acknowledge the current food and fitness sires members

some are here and some not i wanted to acknowledge the incredible work of all those who have contributed to the current policy that is being introduced tonight and this is been a labor of love many involved in the partnership with the district over a decade and but we're really thrilled that our recommendations we are taken by this incredibly dedicated team of sfusd staff team that led and includes the departments listed on top of the slide we look forward to seeing this policy adopted by the board in the weeks and months to come all right. thank you.

>> thank you very much for that presentation i have one speaker card on the wellness issue josh david son. >> to minutes please. hi, i'm josh david son i cook for the students in the department i'm existed about the i got of this policy most people are not existed by wellness this is exactly when i want to read after a long and difficult day thank you very much there is the quote i carried around in my head i think guides what i do we're fat and sick and dying because we have handed a basically fundamental and function of our life over the corporations we choose to value our nourishment we put 2 to

strainers feed you're loved ones and there's a little piece i want to suggest astonish considerations down the road which i feel like we should be teaching our kids that food is not something that always come out of a package you may society with snap crackle and pop and no offense to my colleges friends but if you're eating a meal and you're hearing those sound as you're getting ready to eat a burger or chirps you should give thought to we're careful about what we put-down many the packages for students

i'm glad we're careful maybe the lesson of the package is not one and a we necessarily want to give to the kids beyond our doors what ends up is in the packages is very unhewitt so maybe in taken care of e teaching kids the company of a table with the dishes is not super practical but something we may be want to strive for it would be useful so, anyway thank you for your time (clapping.) thank you, mr. david son questions or comments from the commission commissioner wynns. >> thank you all for being here and your years and years of service that is skoeshl to us i want to reiterate even though it shouldn't be necessary but the thing i'm most proud we that of

healthy food of a structural strategy in san francisco this is about student achievement and that is about success in life so i want to thank all the staff for other work they've done on the issued and look forward to carefully looking at the new policy proposals even though it was mention the development was awareness policy but record we had awareness policy in san francisco before the federal government required that every school district have awareness policy so in this case what is important about the first it is about the policy led to healthier informed and higher achievement all the things we know this is about so you know, i want to say thank you from all of us to all of you, we can't do

this without community partnership and participation i want to thank everyone that served on the committee that had different needs when we start out from the beginning thank you. >> and commissioner fewer thank you for coming together with the nutritional guidelines i think the board should review this carefully and we could be in violation of many of the recommendations of the guidelines we need to actually look at ourselves as board members to follow some of those guidelines on school district property and thank you for bringing this to our students and families and staff as well thank you very much. >> commissioner vice president haney. >> yeah. so you for this i am happy to see that i ago what a ms. fewer to make sure that all

contemplated in the common core state standards it is an option that brings the 9th grade algebra one categorize into the 7 and 8 grade by having the 7th grade half of the eight grade at&t half of the remaining math and the amount bra one the reason that parents all over san francisco and more than 5 hundred and 80 san francisco parent signed the petition in support of this option the reason that parents all over san francisco wish this option is that our high achieving math students risked constitutionally risk being left behind under the current provocation the one one-size-fits-all approach didn't recognize the real differences and math capacity in students all over the city and

progression in middle school why have we alone among the district where we sit in the center of technical innovation and have the greatest opportunity especially to advance high achieving girls in stem careers where we sit and evaporate for our high achieving girls to see women in technical crazy and decide to pursue that why are we alone holding them back respectfully i ask you to consider this option to put that on your agenda to take apartment comments it's adorable part of the common core standards there are textbooks that are out there supporting the 2 in 3 options and the middle school teachers have been teaching many of the new algebra standards in eight

grade and in many ways this is less disruptive than the existing common core progression and not risk affiliating our students we should support in the san francisco unified school district i grew up in southern ohio in a small town on the wrong side of the river i remember to public schools for 20 years including my college education i worked hard and worked every day to get here i can provide more for my kids i believe in public schools and we can't feel we're sdaunl
