10:31 pm
colleagues to work with, but my personal commitment that the school dist rth will not be isolated from the city and we'll enjoy these years. as long as i'm there i'll talk to everyone about talent talent talent. that is what we get to talk about from small age kids to when they are ready to work full time, we are creating the talent louckally so no company here successful will have to go off shore to find that tal nlt and they can home grow it here with exciting programs we have for our kids. my first summer job when i was a young kid was pounding bricks and getting the mortar off bricks and i wished that we had a program in our city-i had to study hard and over come the mortars on the bricks or washing dishes in the back of a restaurant. i think
10:32 pm
our kids are lucky today to be in san francisco and if we can model more of these programs and have it reflected as parbt of a successful city, we will do well when the 450 mayors from across the country come and ask how doo you do it. how do you create a kindergarten to college account with a bank with nothing there and then create this account where families and kids start talking about college when they enroll their kids in n to kindergarten and public school in san francisco. this is amazing. when we look at back at the years we will smile and say we contribute thood the dream city of there country because no where else are these programs being done with the level of support and enthusiasm so i'm excited for our kids. i'll be joining some of the programs. i got to get intheseiastic about this

10:35 pm

10:36 pm
because you can hear in his voice the passion he has for the families and the children in san francisco. we really appreciate that because we also know that it is not just the school district in any city that can have a impact on the families of a city, it does take a entire city and departments and reck and park department and it takes our liberies and everyone pulling together to make sure we create a fabric and create a framework so no student does not have a opportunity to experience this wonderful city. when you have a mayor like mayor lee that unscripted and without prodding at every occasion talks about that weaving of children and families in the city to make a strong city, it is very powerful for us in the school district. we committed in the school district 3 departments, the office of extend said learning and early education and learning and office of
10:37 pm
after school time to really ramp up what we are doing in terms of offerer opportunities to enrichment activities. we know and resourch brought out that student with enrichment activities, not just remedial, what is important is what are they reading and writing about and how are they applying those standards and the new common core math standards and how do they go and see and interact with the most buft classroom in the world, san francisco. that is what this opportunity does for our children. what i'm particularly and i would speak more fr my board, particularly happy about is this investment for this summer learning provides the opportunity in the school district to provide busing from 4 hope sf community centers so student don't see transportation as a barrier to
10:38 pm
engage in the broad rb classroom. that is equity in action so i want to thank the city for allowing us to dothality. with that we committed our self and the san francisco unified school district to steam and that is science, tech knowledge, engineering art and mathematic. if you think about steam and apply it to the stity we live in, this beautiful oasis of steam in san francisco it makes sense why student show up on a std and interview for summer jobs because they will apply that wurn learning. it makes sense why stuntd want to be part of a after school program to get language skills. it makes sones why student go to enrichment field trip jz interact with nature and go to the prusidio or go to the beautiful parks and team media centers and do research about what interests them. as we
10:39 pm
think about moving from a agrarian society where the school calendar made sense to 21 century global economy and division 2525 our district talked about imagining what we do in education it makes learning should be year jound enriching and contextualize in the most beautiful classroom in the world san francisco. i want to thank the voters of san francisco for entrusting in us for a quarter century the abilities to create this type of classroom so thank you to the voters of san francisco and policy makers, thank you for giving the early start of enriching the lives of the student in san francisco. i also would be remisthat other commissioner is here, mendoza is here.
10:40 pm
thank you mr. mayor. >> wow, what a wonder-it is a beautiful day, sunny, bright and it is perfect day to be announcing this expension. i hope that the sun osgeths the press release of the summer expansion so the sun will make guess appearances during the summer month when the kids are out having fun and learning different things. continuing the theme of steam, let's make sure we are going full steam ahead. come on! i want to thank the mayor for his dedication and commitment and insistence that every step we take in the city and every department whatever we produce has to be of quality and not only of quality, but it has to.
10:41 pm
it has to be for all. it snut just for sum and he made it clear in the state of the city address around shared prosperity. he made it clear in all the meetings we had that whatever projects and initiatives we produce has to be for everyone so thank you mr. mayor for your leadership on that. i also want to recognize and thank superintendened [inaudible] leadership and partnership. his willingness to open his schools for our cbo to come in and provide high squault after school and summer program is amazing. he has broken down barriers that have been historical for many years. he made the commitment of equity and of quality and that is amazing so thank you for that. also, thank you to all our elected official because they
10:42 pm
also share our vision and they share the mont ruof quality programs for all. everywhere they are going they are talking about enroll in summer school, enroll in after school program, participate because you are participate at every levlt within the city, within the big classroom of ours. thank you to all the elected officials. most-importantly we cant make this work without key community based part nrbship. partners that have been with us thick and in the through the good and bad times and they hung with us to make sure we get to this day where we can say if you have a kid on your wait list we are committed to allow that kid a slot that. that is 6 years in the making because we have never been able to say that in the past. we have never been able tosay a too a parent or

10:45 pm
quality that would really stem the learning loss that we know the research is showing. we won't accept that research. we believe that our kids and families deserve better and because of that, we invest not only in making sure there are slots for the families but also want into invest and make sure the slots are quality and things the families deserve and want. once again t is for everyone. for the all the the families not signed frup the summer program yet, please list toon what the mayor said, go to the website, www.dcys dautd oreg or sf kids.gov oreg or call 311. there are no excuses out there. make sure you call, make sure you enroll and have a wonderful summer this year. thank you. with that we

10:50 pm
the sanctuary 2 of your officers came to our fellowship called hall after they had told one of my deacons -- and here's her tonight forgot begin fred thomas he can stand up there in the back -- and said, we got a complaint. that you are drummers are making too much noise. it has come to the point in this town that certain people can have their chinese new year and there's no pejorative statement against the chinese they drums,
10:51 pm
firecrackers, and noise everywhere. when the -- have their event the inconvenience us in our sacred worship. when you have the gay pride parades, the same is done. when we have fleet week airplanes are flying all over the place keeping out noise but at 215 p.m. when people are in a state of sadness and bereavement, 2 of your insensitive officers have the unmitigated gall to come and tell us a cup hush. shut up. your keep it up too much noise because the neighbors are complaining. your officers have the judgment of a cat to ignore whatever
10:52 pm
any neighbor said and came and salted this black faith community. we need -- that's why chief -- not tomorrow -- we need like yesterday that the police sensitive sensitivity training that you are dragging their feet on right now and we are sick and tired of being sick and tired of your acting like we don't have a serious problem in this town. thank you. >> presidentthank you. your time is up. >> clerk: this is a serious matter. not that shut me down or these others down. you're going to hear us tonight if we have to turn it out like we turn it out over the board of supervisors and i'm tired of coming here and every time you come telling us you have don't

10:56 pm
horrified. i am angry. they make no sense to me that people walking on the street buck up driving in a car stuck up are likely to be victimized by out-of-control pursuit and out-of-control pursuers. the people being pursued. it became personal last friday when my daughter was in one of the cars that was involved in an accident. so, i determined to come here tonight to ask, to plead, that you seriously consider changing the chase policy. after the 1st woman was struck and then later died, that should have been enough. for the officers to exercise some common sense and say we can't catch these people without endangering everybody else melt we encounter on the roads. i really am not familiar
10:57 pm
with what the policy is, but if that does it they were following policy to policy needs to be change in my opinion. if they were not following policy, then i really believe that they need to be disciplined. and i'm not in favor of discipline. i prefer to exercise other ways of teaching people things sentence them to community service it needs a, but please stop the idiocy of car chases like that. thank you. >> president: thank you ms. davis. next speaker. >> testifier: hello. but tom sullivan i been here many times before. a huge crowd is not a good sign for. that's a sign that the public is not happy satisfied with your performance in your job. it may even be a sign of worse things that it
10:58 pm
could be a sign of social unrest. you're not doing your job did you not holding police accountable. not exercising transparency in your positions that's where the people are so outraged as your behavior. okay. i came here for a half years ago with 4 things on my agenda. i added one thing sense. where the heck are the bad scans? even -- was a criminal as bad scans on his people. i hear the airport has them. what is still taken so long? what do you have to hide as what would your officers had to hide speaking of hiding little is all the officers then sent to the pokey recently. the 3 down to -- the other 18, a them were on a mission 2nd i came one was mission station corruption to, patrol special conducted 3 was all 3 have pretty much been resolved the 4th was corruption. i can did you
10:59 pm
articles last week and i handed you articles a month ago. 2 articles about -- attorney general who's been held -- let's put it this way -- the federal courts it in no uncertain terms or corrupt prosecution of people using false evidence and contrived by criminal prosecutors is not going to be acceptable and input so there are 4 ways to control police corruption. one way is through the eda. he's not doing his job. one way through the atty. gen. she's not doing objective another way is to the occ. they're not doing their job. report ways for you all. and apparently judging by the crowd they keep showing up every week but you're not doing your job properly either. please do it. thank you. >> president: thank you mr. fella. next speaker, please. welcome. >> testifier: david elliott lewis. good evening. i think i actually think you have a difficult job and i think you're doing the best in a
11:00 pm
difficult situation. i think as a pd has a difficult job. they're doing the best they can get that doesn't mean every officer is assuming that a lot of other cities i think we have a lot of great officers in the city. but i'm here to talk about my remaining minute and a half his crisis intervention. namely the upcoming award ceremony. on may 12 and i want to thank -- keeps her for making a donation to our think some of the commissioners for supporting it. i think it's a really important event. for some ever we've ever done anything like this. recognizing police officers done outstanding work in handling a mental health crisis issue with de-escalation not
