virtually every area of success and education is at the center of everything to be a world-class city is such an inviting conversation that last night sitting around the table with 15 ceo's of companies and talk about what what we are doing with our school district is an incredible picture that we're painting for our senate file i can't see of the future because i look at her and i know she's going to be successful whether my job or melissa's job or a ceo of a company it school will make a difference in fact our school system is making a difference this why i'm so combrifrd to have a relationship with statue of liberty we have
1:20 am
the unique opportunity to talk about the future when i meet with the ceo's and companies as i do on a weekly basis we talk i talk about the mature investment the companies are looking for talent the school district is creating that talent for them this is the unique connection we have with our education system this is why the campus is important it is forward-looking and as principle hobnobbing so that has said we're not only going to be a great learning center but establish the creators of the future when you have that as the goal for a middle school you're talking about the most critical thinking to have to happy with the youngest challenged age of our school district the middle grades that's why i met with mr. benny hoff a couch years ago and
1:21 am
asked him to make the biggest education investment investment they could possibly do he's done with with our promises and teachers be principle hobnobbing so that you're in the line of middle school principles that embraces our schools i know you treasure and stanley have us visit every grades on a periodic basis to make sure our creatorors are creating the kinds of things this the future that critical thinking is possible the stem thinking is future the 2025 is a future for our world-class city that's why the investment a happening and that's why we've gone beyond the benny hoff foundation and asked all the 2 thousand technology companies to circle our schools in doing so they said okay. if
1:22 am
you invite us to p do that mayor ed lee what are you going to do well today's announcement is more than the opening of the school the anticipation this willie brown jr. middle school will be the 9th beacon center for the city and county of san francisco (clapping.) what did he mean i don't think we've opened the beacon center what do you do what well 20 years ago then former mayor willie brown invited new york state and he saw schools this were embraced by the school with supportive after-school programs with entities that existed beyond the hours of the school that brought talent to the
1:23 am
school site at all hours whether for health support or more creation those days you'll find cody's to help with the center that's created here with all the after-school programs that make that a beacon this is what we mean by beacon center lead by the investing of the city and county of san francisco we're pouring in over $4 million in each and all of beacon centers that's y where superintendent wants me to go each - but it's our city investment that demonstrates to the private sector we're putting in our investment here our kids are our investment join us in making them your investment do more than watch invest and you'll see
1:24 am
the parent and community come alive more than in the past so this is where we are going to make a difference for bayview this is a beacon center a central place marie a sue lined the agencies to be part of the beacon center along with the city agencies we're going to have a heavy dose of philanthropic support when willie and i talk with ceo's we'll be in unison but snavn in unison about what we're doing where the board of education because the more we talk about us obey the world-class education center the more inviting it is for the investments to want to be here and this is why we're the center of attention the mayors will
1:25 am
want to know what's happening in this school but how this dream comes about as such an inviting investment to all the ceo's in the city we will make a difference in a very short future for all our kids that's why i wanted police officers families to live in san francisco fire department families to live in san francisco the teachers to be able to afford more as we aggressively build more for the nickel and dimed folks we want to grow all the tenant and have it supported last night i was asked the question and continuing be asked i get an opportunity it answer what do you want what do you really want out of our school system in san francisco i want a school system that's embraced our community and our city to embrace that that means that
1:26 am
you'll never have teachers reaching into their own pockets to buy things the companies will do that the talent that sophia wants matched by those who are here physically engaging with the students and parents that more than hope that they believe and they'll be here because that parental engagement in this school will be at the highest level because of what we're investing is this is more than the promise the physical manifestations of one of the best schools that will produce and reset the standards of the schools so the entire is system joins us in our world-class standards for the future if so what i believe and i'm so happy that that is got the name willie brown jr. when i was working for
1:27 am
him he demanded the best out of all all of us through that effort we knew we could challenge all the coworkers in the city with that i'd like to welcome former mayor willie brown his main school for the future we only have to fill in the glass and maybe we'll get gold in the future (laughter) (clapping) >> mr. mayor supervisor cohen elected members of the school board and, of course, the instructor demetrious and families particularly sophia and her mom and the families and even though

1:29 am
schools anywhere in the describing country and a pioneering effort by the school board and that superintendent their eliminates were imposed there was actually zero money mr. mayor there were almost no companies or ceo's that had any interest in public education to the dennis degree that you've be able to drive that 1y5ur7bd among them in san francisco be that as it may but a wonderful school board and superintendent arching man did her best i was in a facility to train cops to be cops it proved to be not productive for cops cops moved on to something better and left the facility and school board and the
1:30 am
superintendent tried to make it into a school it proved not to be a good match and fortunately for all of us the city and the school board and the people had the courage to shut it down and attempt to conceive of something far greater i can remember mr. superintendant i don't think you were superintendent snafbs you were not rode by you brought me out for this first occasion in a room when the architects had what they had in mind and believe me what they had in mind was like yesterday compared to what we're looking at today, the effort was made starting with the concepts that had been done by those combiftdz and talented and well trained people they invited senate file i can't se
