>> seen some success in that area and figuring out some ways to beef that up so our students can come in with a leg forward a lot of our students already have early warning indicators so thank you for this presentation and we'll continue to have this discussion about continuation school and course schools and county schools. thank you. >> any other questions or comments? >> i also want to thank the team i think we're getting better and better at system atizing and i want to thank you all. the budget that we'll be working on specifically african-american numbers will be working with a number of departments to have a stronger

focus on those numbers as well and i hate to be the wet blanket but i want to keep it real with our community that we're in the midst of an implementation dip with the common core so when the results become available there's much more rigorous standards but should not see a dip for students on track for graduation we'll be monitoring that as well and i want to remind the public we're upping the bar for everybody and keep you apprised but again thank you very much for the for the teach appreciate your efforts. >> thank you for that comprehensive report. we're at item n and there are none tonight and item o was moved and seconded under section f. the role call please.

>> thank you commissioner. >> thank you. mr. hain and miss mcdonald. >> yes, except on items 1, 2, 3 and 5. >> okay 1, 2, 3 and 5 thank you. miss norton ? >> yes. >> mr. walton. >> yes but i abstain on item on page 34. >> thank you commissioner. >> dr. morosy. >> aye. >> we're on item p consent calendar resolution immediate action there are none. item q first reading none tonight. our board member proposals none tonight. the board member's report standing committees we have already heard from the

report of the committee as a whole so i would like to ask commissioner joe to provide a report of the meeting of march 13th. >> thank you so the rules committee met and we had two major items we actually had an informational and one was on the vaccination policy and so we've asked the staff we've looked at the vaccination policies that we have and the csba model policies and asked the staff to bring us a recommendation for what changes we would want to make if any to our own policies and that will be forthcoming at the next meeting and we began to look at the legislative issues so

you all should have gotten that packet that had the agenda of the rules committee on the front and it was followed by a big fat list which has all the bills that are legislative advocates are tracking so far a lot of these are spot bills just put in place and don't have content although there's a sense that this bill is probably going to be about that so we did not -- because the bills are not flushed out, we didn't take a position on many of the issues, but i recommend to you that you read this and tell us whether there are things in it that you want us to pay particular attention to remember again sorry mostly for the public if anybody is listening that the committee actually takes positions and not just make recommendations for the board, so so if you

want to have input on that you have to come to the committee meeting or tell me or members of the committee what things you are interested in and i know the bill list was provided to all of you but the committee did take a position and i'm going to read it just to tell you what they are because they were things that we would obviously want to take the position on or have some timely reason to have a position taken early on so baker and sb 774 fuller which are the two bills in both houses that propose to repeal the cap and that's the exact reflection of the ordinance that was proposed here in san francisco a couple of weeks ago which is proposals with safety warnings on sugar

sweet ened beverages and based on the board's support for the tax proposal last year we took a support position on that and similarly and we told you that we were probably likely to do this this month, the repeal of the personal belief exemption for vaccinations and ab 1391 gomez it doesn't propose to take away the instructional minutes but put a process in place to allow for an administrative process to correct if if you weren't doing what you needed to do to meet the minutes requirement the only recould recourse now is to be sued at great costs to the districts and based on our local positions on this and

also the curtsy to our own representatives we took a positive position on sb 3 the proposed increase in the state minimum wage and ab 10-51 this is a bill related to penalties for human sex trafficking in proximity to schools. and actually, i'm being reminded because our staff gave me this list that we actually recommended that the first reading of amended board policies on vaccinations come to the board to the board at the next meeting on on april 13th so that will be coming to you that will only be a first reading and theoretically won't have to come back to the rules

committee. thank you. >> president? >> just the position that the committee took on the ending of the personal belief exemption there's a resolution tomorrow night which i'm going to go and speak in favor and communicate the board's position on that and i just wanted you to be aware of that and invite anybody else to give public comment if you happen to be around the state building tomorrow night around 7. >> can i say something that the committee will follow up on i've received a request from the senator's office that we take a support position and send a letter on the community school's act that she has proposed and the hearing in the education committee is on

april 8th, so we will not have another rules committee before that meeting so i have asked i sent it to -- i forwarded it to mr. davis and asked for them to take a position -- i don't think -- based on our history possibly write a letter saying the district is very happy whatever we can say because we don't have a meeting between now and then. >> okay. thank you commissioner . would anyone like to announce any upcoming meetings for their committees? >> april 13th student assignment very important. it's the panel discussion we will be having so i hope that everybody will be able to attend that should be pretty interesting. >> the budget meeting?

>> it's a panel discussion with a bunch of -- and i'm blanking on who it is -- but the people that have worked with us on monitoring our student assignment system over the years so it's engaging in a dialogue with us an opportunity to engage in a dialogue about, you know, the goals of our system and where it's going and are there changes that we need to make and that kind of thing. >> commissioner? >> thank you. buildings and grounds is meeting on monday april april the 20th. >> april 8th? >> april 15th. also i'd like to add select ivity will be discussing muni and

transportation and also summer programming. >> thank you very much. all other announcements -- i would like to congratulate my colleague, commissioner, you will receive the advocate award at the coleman advocate's 40th anniversary together with supervisor john avalos and that is scheduled for thursday, may 7th. any other announcements? commissioner? >> thank you i'd just like to on behalf of roseti and malone to invite to the education revolution event saturday april 25th from 9 to 4 at, at and t park and it's designed for families with students with learning differences so it's

joining the education revolution for a day of resources celebration and community and feature workshops and exhibits and student activities again that's saturday april 25th from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at at and t park. >> when is the summer job fair? >> thank you so the summer job fair is on april 21st st and it's going to be at moscone -- no, it's a saturday. then i lied. april 11th. so it will be be april 11th at moscone center south, 747 howard street and it's going to be from ten until 4 and we encourage all of our young people between 17 and 24 to come down for job

climate goals. we all understand that action happens at the city level and our city is one to take the bull by the horns and make sure that we are leading the way. one of our goals is 100 percent renewable electricity. in order to meet that goal and especially in the context of increasing demand for electricity with the electrification of vehicles, as we move towards electricity it's going to become more and more important that we maximize our ability to use electricity wisely, which means energy efficiency. and when we look at our energy efficiency efforts from the past 15 years we've been the beneficiaries of a number of different funding sources through the public goods charge, which has come through the cpuc and pg&e, through the federal government and the r funds, through private foundation funding, as well as

now direct funding from the cpuc through the association of bay area governments. so no matter the funding source, our mission has always stayed the same, which is to reach as many san franciscoans as possible and to bring the benefits of energy efficiency to those most in need. it turns out that's not an easy task and there are some substantial regulatory barriers in our way. and to give you sort of a brief snapshot of where we've been and where we think we'll be able to go under a cca, i'm going to ask my colleague, kathleen bryant, to come and give you a short presentation which i hope will be very inspiring to you as well. thank you, kathleen. >> sfgov tv, please present

the pdf thank you. hello, everyone, my name is kathleen bryant, i am here to represent the department and talk about our current role in energy every si and how we think it might change in the future. we all know that energy efficiency matters. we also know that our future will be in renewable energy. we firmly believe the first step will be to move forward in optimizing our existing building systems so that we can achieve our energy efficiency goals. the department of the environment has xhuepbtd relationships that work. we've been running energy efficiency programs now for 15 years and we expect to continue to run these programs in the foreseable future, even with a cca in place. our staff can be a familiar face to building owners, business owners, building engineers, property managers and even residents .d we can also continue to cultivate our relationship with pg&e as we run our programs as

a local government partnership since 2006 and will continue to have success. we currently contribute 40 percent to the energy efficiency portfolio of san francisco. that's 40 percent against other programs that target large customers and low-hanging fruit. our programs have targeted small business, multi family building owners since their inception in 2001. we do this with our staff of certified professionals. this alphabet soup represents our staff's credentials. we are professional passionate honest and effective as third party energy advisors to customers who know that we are unmotivated by profit. we also have bilingual staff engaging all of our diverse communities. we currently run two programs out of the department of the environment, the sf energy watch program and the bay run multi family program. the rate payers fund both programs through pg&e and the association of bay area

governments, respectively. sf energy watch is mostly a lighting program. it's run since 2006 and we've served hard to reach customers up to large commercial buildings. we serve customers at every phase from the energy audit to equipment fit. started in just 2013 and serves exclusively multi family sites. this program uses total estimated energy savings to incentivize customers to a higher degree. our programs have had wide coverage in san francisco. you can see our coverage through the commercial districts and the dense population centers of the city to every corner of our territory. our programs help san franciscoans save energy. we've done 15,000 projects over the past 15 years, paid out $40 million in incentives through our department to san francisco residents and business owners,

reduced 92,000 tons of carbon emissions which is the equivalent of removing 15,000 vehicles from the road. finally, our programs help san francisco residents live better. i'm going to highlight one of our favorite examples, 81 9th street is a single room occupancy hotel in selma the bay run allowed us to significantly increase the incentives to the customers to finally get rid of their aging boiler. there were significant energy cost savings that were achieved that were ultimately used to improve quality of life of the residents by allowing the owner to install new security doors in the building. the owner was so thrilled with the project that he moved on to do this in his other two buildings. >> question: so you replace an aging boiler with another very efficient combustion boiler?

>> yes, all natural gas boiler. >> and i'll have questions later about ways we can move forward toward non-combustion sources in buildings as well. >> so this is one of our favorite examples because it's very comprehensive but unfortunately it's unique in its comprehensiveness. most of our programs have been single measures for example just lighting or just refrigeration. i have worked on these programs for 8 years and it's challenging to address truly comprehensive programs. because all these programs are funded to the rate payers and it is the duty of the kafrl public utilities commission to make sure the spending is appropriate, san francisco energy watch is the local gofrt partnership with pg&e so we are subjected to both its authority and that of the cpuc's energy division. in contrast, they are subject to the direct

authority of the energy gition so that one layer of complexity is removed. the result is more los angelesity in program design and we have really enjoyed that the past few years. we want to pause and explain the claimable savings we often bring up here, this is a standard retrofit, we have a 60 watt incandescent light bulb going to a 10 watt led lamp. the claimable savings here you would expect would be 50 watts, but in fact what the program can claim is only 8 watts. so the math makes sense, you would say 50 watts but unfortunately the program is only able to claim and incentive ieds that smaller amount because that is the amount that's above the state's title 24 code base line. this is something that we've been able to break through with the barren program and something we hope to do with other programs. the bay run has given us this interesting
