couldn't be more proud with that i'm going to turn it over to my colleague for any comments the auditor is here for questions i'll quietly go home. >> well, it's a pleasure to serve on the board and watch affidavit at work i've not seen so much money in all my life and that well, i'm very pleading for me pleasing may not be the right word but have complete trust in the allocation of money and looking forward to the roomgs and rebuilding of wonderful schools in san francisco i thank david in being able to lead us so well

and that's it for our report i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> action for this report out of committee. >> commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell and commissioner norton. >> i actually don't have questions i want to comment particularly as the chair of buildings and grounds and having worked with you david this is such a treat and really grateful for your leadership and your springs around the bond program have an opportunity to be and willie brown's last week reminded me we have the voters to do the wonderful improvements and growth in the school district and every time we get a chance to drive by one the schools that's backseats been modernized or the improvements i'm grateful for your leadership

thank you for that and thank you for supporting the efforts and keeping a close ice eye on the work and david you have a great staff to oversee the bond thank you and congratulations. >> i just wanted to echo commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell and i'm sure the rest of the board thanks for this again, it is so amazing to find this on our desk no finding and you know, i want to thank you, david for spoiling me all the years that's not been an ax last week, we have there's been 10 years api i've been on the board 10 years that's amazing unheard of i hope that i never have to be in a situation we can't trust our bond program we don't have to be honest but

very, very appreciative and what that says about your leadership in the district really a pleasure to be squeaky clean. >> commissioner wynns i want to thank you and reiterate what everyone has said thank you staff and david and committee and nancy for your leadership i want to ask you about i mean, the management of the program is what is reflected here and the fiscal management which is stellar beautify been here when it what that is refreshing the most important thing is how important it is to the students and future of the city and franklin i know one of the reasons people are enthusiastically will support our bonds we've added to the value the property in san

francisco by having wonderful looking schools that are used by the community such a 134 east we can possibly make that happen i want you to - i don't know that i know enough maybe i haven't paid attention it didn't have to happen now we had a sort of a bonus during the recession because things were costing less than we anticipated and by the time more work out of our money than the estimate so i'm feeling like it is time for us to have an update how we're doing as you want to say a sentence how we're doing on the remaining bond programs and what we're you know how the money is stretching or not a and the kinds of increases

and costs that are effectively the productivity not the money not the management of the program. >> four or five sentences answered what commissioner wynns is referring to during the 2006 bopped program that was a blessing for the school district in the global class and the global economy that was for one dollars of construction we bought one dollar thirty worth of stuff and got incredible value out of our bond dollars our bids were low and taking all the alternates and had plenty of money to do all the projects and the other things we missed on the scald pr in the current 2011 bond program that economy that picture has changed the other way everybody in san francisco

is phenomenally busy the construction industry is screaming for work on the transbay terminal to our school projects our bids are coming in call roll higher than sunflower years ago but it is a different day and in some ways it is a terrific time to you be in san francisco good across the board has an enormous faxing impact on the fees it is difficult to get construction workers on our projects by the way, the city is blessed with cranes everywhere times are, in fact, different. >> is it possible to gives us gives us one sentence should we can anticipating getting less

work than what we planned to get. >> the answer to our question is yes our construction prices right now escalation and inflation and construction is back to 5 percent per year for 5 years that was up. >> did we take into account. >> our bids are 10 or 15 are 20 percent higher and we're being important strategy about being less work on the table and doing every job right and not have to circle back a second time a combination of things that may mean there are some schools in the 2011 bond that might move to the next bond we might choose to attack mrarm schools that are traditionally underserved but

tackle to bring the entire equality issue up. >> thank you very much mr. golden i want to let you know and thanks to the oversight committee when i talk to the community one thing we clean audits and it does matter to this voter i want to superintendent lee and his team that represents a lot a lot of dedicated work on the part of our staff and volunteer oversight committee so thank you very much superintendent. >> yes. i think everything said it already i want to add my thanks to the david golden even and everyone for the work on the bond this is the bonded we have in our community so the voters of san francisco voted to invest

in our schools that is an incredible achievement 10 years a decade of no finding is incredibly important we can look across the country and see schools that don't have the track record i want to insure the voters of san francisco your child will go to seismically save schools and schools that wish aesthetically pleasing and schools that are being wider and uplifted so they can engage in the 21st century curriculum in line with our vision 2025 and the line of the night how many schools have their chief facilities officers talk about scheduling the work in an equality line this is important that is san francisco so thank you very much mr. golden. >> there reason not public

over you can look at it it basically covers the activities we've done for the last two years we are going to start with our introductions and the cycle of inquire the second page 4 and so i'm going to move over so we have our cycle of inquirey and thank you so basically, the delack is a group of sires people from all schools that have 21 or more english language leerngz basically the cycle begins with the site based english monthly meetings of also elected parent

committee to discuss partiality based school based on agenda and some of the information they've received from the delack seeblts of on a x level the e lack representative attend the english learn committees they gather information and collect data and offer get more information about english learn services that the district has to offer as well as talk with other personalities that are involved in the english learn citizens advisory committee and e lack going back to the site and discussed the information and prepares the romance for the english learn funds and submits that recommendation to the school site council meeting will incorporate and think about and discuss the recommendations they

conformations so i'm going to give you a lot of numbers and the plan to hope that you're interested in the numbers and leave the construction plan to provide cross the el but tonight evening maybe hope it is not really boring okay. so the first line is i want to look at the population of english age learners in the areas of ethnicity in the last 5 years you see we breakdown them into 14 ethnicity and they've declined to stay for ethnicity groups but at the pie chart the two bring out group of english learners are the i'm sorry the latino group and the chinese group both combine about 89 percent of inspire english

population and the entire pie represents about 28 percent of our student population but if you counted for those people that want to be in clarified as english proficient that's over 50 percent of the student population they're talking about but we are going to focus on this group okay so imelda the chinese and the latino group so the next slide will try to show you the breakdown of the two main chinese and latino group all-state populations to the loose 5 years from year 2010 to 2014 so let's look at the chinese group first, the entire body present entire student

population for the chinese yaefrn and if you look at the top actually it is kind of like doctors so that means actually, the numbers are english chinese students are dr requesters over the years if you look at the utilizing groups they're actually increasing in that clarification so increasing on the utilizing students every year and let's beaked into each bar you see the gold bar of the english proficient students and the blue bar did english learners so right away you see the difference between the chinese and the latino group we talking about in the chinese group maybe only thirty percent of english learners but latino roughly 60 o 50 percent one interesting piece of information that is a district as an average

all grades combined adding up but the kindergartener grades at the beginning 50 percent of the latino and chinese were english learners so 70 percent i i mean so that's representing the progressing through the years and now the average is like about you know 50 percent or actually 28 percent official wise okay so next slide please so next slide we trying to present the account by zip code let's focus on the pie chart incur the colors on the post areas so the percentage the english learned at the zip code the red

represents high density and imply or close to blue as a low density of english learners as you can see the southeast side has a high contemplation of english leisure's and the chinatown so look at the pie chart itself it actually represents the number of students as a whole within that coastal area the green representatives the percentage of anniversary english learners and the blue percentage of english learners is a f as you can see you can see the slice of pie that is the total so back to the four areas they have the hoist students as well if you look at the blue portion of the pie actually, it is bigger so that's the area has not only the

highest count but all the highest english learners i did a map that on it does not did code all the students combine 49 percent of the student population if we are planning about providing more think about that area okay. so move into the next slide okay. so we wanted to look at the english learners clarification matt haney their proficient in english now so in the years 2013-2014 based the program we're able to look at them with the what is their percentage compared you know to the entire english population and at outline levels we're talking about 18.6 percent of english learners are clarified this is a

pretty good you number providing our annual goal is 70 percent let's move on to the next slide okay. so sorry about that that so many numbers here the idea we are trying to look at the years take for english learners to clarify as proficient in english and we take the district data up to e lack and look at the data they first become mrimd limited in english language they also have clarified as proficient in english and we had an average so it is determined it takes 5 years for an english learn to be fully reach english proficiency and this is actually a really

good number if you look at 5 years ago it takes 200.5 years but 2013-2014 they only have 3.8 years the district is doing a job in kraifr the english learners, however, if you look at the beaked by the division level so some of the basic the at the secondary level it takes along these for to be proficient in english especially, if you look at the latino group it takes a substantial amount of time so let's move on to the next slide okay. so this slide we trying to look at their language tests basically the state test the star test and it is really hours that the english

learners will not be english proficient but that is what we want the idea we want to train here actually, if you look at the percentage of the above let me go to the rating of what this star is about it is based on the rating you basically 3 level reading 14 one for far below beacon hill and 5 moaning the high we look at the number look at all the things for this task for the past 5 years if they are having a score of 3 and above we want to count them and give a percentage of the inspire population we hope with the tests if you look at the non-english column we're talking about nearly 90 percent of our

population who are english speakers macro at least 3 and above if you look at the which they understand i'm sorry the english population at the secondary level they're doing symsubstantially in the testing poor so i guess we need more details to look at what the the reasons we're thinking maybe the star test which we no longer use it, too 0 different for the english learners and because the english learners as a secondary level mainly newcomers or long term english learners so we just need more to look at the details or need more details from the district as well so this concludes the number

pieces of that hallow point we'll go to the commotionaccumulation. >> i'm away wake now so the delack has come up with some recommendations there are somewhat general and we would have been much for specific and as we go over this material i think we come up with better recommendations so this set is as of this printing and so we're asking that, please to evaluate the structural programs especially, as it is with the density of english speaking students all are xoefd their grade level standards the section recommendation we have so, please provide low student to teacher ratios we're

thinking 25 to one for fourth grade and better off and rigorous engaging curriculum everyday in the classrooms we're recommending please to provide how quality engaging summer programs for all english learners or at least for a els that are not in basis grade level evaluations wovr one of the parents idea a parent suggested we have a summary immersion camp for eled that focus on reading and writing with other proficient students. >> we recommend to better support the new comer students to please provide one-on-one instructional support for other
