commissioner fewer, anybody else? but i'm realizing as i startd rolling out this -- asking this program to be rolled out again for the public schools that so many of us leadership as you went through this program when i took office, my number one priority was pedestrian safety and i believe this program has shown to be an important in making our crosswalks safer for students in the community. the student crossing guard program was a part of the public schools many years ago, many, many years ago. but due to budget constraints, the program was defunded and never came back for many many years. for the last two year, i have fought hard to secure funding to kick start this program at three schools in district 7. today i would like to discuss the expansion of the program to all san francisco unified school district schools throughout the city in the elementary schools, that is.

there's -- there -- the reason i want to do this is because of many -- there's many benefits to the student crossing guard program. basically what you get out of it is that the main thing is about pedestrian safety awareness. with the students that participate in the program, they get basically very high levels of awareness because they go through training from the police department, they talk about it they are -- when they go on duty, they have been to be aware of what's safe and what's not safe because of the responsibilities they're taking to assist other students that are crossing. and what they also learn is leadership in this. many of us -- i guess there's a correlation as i mentioned earlier why many of us in

leadership roles went through this type of program and i think a lot of it has to do with the fact that we were student crossing guards and the other thing that isn't discussed as much, the other two things are about team work, they learn to work as a team because one crossing guard can't say go another one say stop and vice-versa, the other piece that i see other students gain is that especially younger ones, these are usually the fifth graders or the first graders that are participating, meaning k through 3 or 4, the students that actually see these students protecting them, start asking their parents questions what are they doing, and so their awareness becomes high e so it really does benefit the 20 or so

from each school of students that are participating but probably all the students really become sharper in their awareness of what to do when they cross the street so let me go to that -- i started this program as say well, let's just try -- let's pilot test this in a few schools to make sure [inaudible] and so forth and to make sure that we -- there are no other issues that we might come up with and i think we've done that. we have our curriculum down, our police department has really stepped up. the school district staff kevin truid or sallow -- lopez is has stepped up and made it work. i would like to thank

[inaudible] in getting this program up and running and in particular, staff superintendent kevin truet and sallow pez who together with my staff olivia scaven worked diligently to make this program work and grow i would like to thank chief sir and his officers officer murray and officer bara for providing the students with their available training and insight. finally i would like to thank the students parents and community for its support -- by the way, one of the other things that happened was when the program started, one principal two principals said that the parent engagement in this was at a very high level and hadn't seen certain parents be that engaged, so that's another benefit of this program that is put out

parents to participate, so i believe the program makes our crosswalk surround our schools a safer environment for both pedestrians and motorists and ensures safety of families and students getting to and from the schools. now i would like to welcome associate superintendent of student, family and community supportblessing kevin truet to start us off. >> do i have to turn this on in any way, you took care of it. see how they do that? good afternoon, thank you, supervisor yee, and good afternoon supervisors and commissioner, i'm excited to speak to you today about this program and also because this is probably the most relaxed i've ever been in front of you because you guys are all school district people, so it's flax i can blink my eyes and think i'm at 555, presenting over there, this is a good audience. i'm excited to bring to you

today and talk about the pedestrian safety program that we've been embarking on with the help of supervisor yee. in the fall, the safety patrol crossing guard program -- in the fall of 2013, supervisor yee former school board president contacted my office to figure out how we could with some financial support, how we could reinvigorate and reengage our students in a crossing guard program. this was particularly timely because in the spring of the year before, i know we all remembered we did have two back to back student tragedies in which we had a junior from lincoln high school and a second grader fra it seems to mer man elementary tragically killed both by automobile ins the spring of 2013 so the call from supervisor yee to bring pedestrian safety to our schools could not have come at a more important time for us.

fast track that to two months later in the spring of the same school year we were able to get the program up and running at come door sloat, we have the president here but upon meeting with supervisor yee and olivia scanlan, we talked all the procedures we needed to put in place and i have a pretty big department and a lot of responsibilities so i selected the person most likely to succeed at this because if we're going to be talk about the elementary student and is teaching tlem the leadership of pedestrian safety, we have the best student advisory council in san francisco and over the years, these kids have stepped up so much, their maturity, leadership and the younger kids look up to them like you wouldn't believe, you know that, the seniors in high school are their gods, so i thought this was a great opportunity for sal to kind of lead this program, get it going in the schools and to engage our student leaders of

the sac in this program, so to talk you through the specifics of the program, i would like to introduce sallow pez fereraz, to talk about the specifics of the program so sal. >> thank you, mr. truet it's a pleasure to be here, my name is salvador lopez ba r-r, and for those of you who don't know me, it's a pleasure to meet you. i'm here to talk about the school crossing guard program that we have at our student district. thanks to supervisor norman yee we're able to fiscally apply for -- fiscally pay for staff to work an hour a day to two hours a day and also order the equipment and whatever's necessary to kick this program

off so on your powerpoint, i believe it's page 4, we have the safety patrol crossing guard program, and one of the key components that we wanted to do in the safety patrol program was to revive the public elementary school crossing guard program that used to exist therefore enbacker engage students in pedestrian safety activity and is the goal was to involve sf unified elementary students to make our streets safer for pedestrians and also have student crossing guards raise consciousness of all students, the importance of developing good habits while walking to school crossing the crosswalks and any roadside safety. the whole concept of this program is for each school to be involved with selected students to act as crossing guards at their school sites during the morning hours and the afternoon hour, not all schools do both hour, some of them do the morning hours.

in addition to the concept, it's to have all student crossing guards to be monitored and supervised by an sfusd professional staff which is key because sometimes you don't want to have a fourth grader or a fifth grader out there by themselves, so they constantly have a supervising adult, and of course depending on each school, they all have different traffic environments, so it will depend on the type of safety program that is best suited for each individual school, it's not a cookie cuter program, it's something that's molded to every school culture. according to the center of disease control, on average, there's about approximately 12 thousand 175 children between the age of 0 and 19 years of age that die every year in the united states as a result of an unintentional injury and this injury as a result of a motor vehicle injury. over 9 million children visit

the emergency rooms for non-fatal injuries annually as well, and between the years of 2002 will have 2005, there was a recording of 7144 unintentional deaths among the children of aged 5-9 involving a motor vehicle death and that's about 53% of accidents and in california, traffic related injuries count for 61.2% of unintentional deaths between the ages of 5 and 9, which is followed by drowning which is 11.9% and fire and burn at 6.5%, so moving on to our city, in 2014, our city recorded a leading 6 year high of traffic collisions resulting in 25 fatalities, 21 were pedestrian and 4 were cyclists so this is something that the student advisory

council takes into account, it is our city and we want to protect our students. so, what we brainstormed is the idea of preventing unnecessary injuries and the majority of pedestrian injuries can be prevented by demonstrating safe travel behavior, looking both way, knowing the roadside safeties and the challenge is ensuring that effectively we communicate with all these preventative measures to all students so they're aware of roadside and traffic risks the more they know, the better off so we can equip them with this kind of communication, so having vision zero in mind in the backdrop, we posed the hypothetical question how do we focus on moving forward and develop a strategy that will reduce injuries and fatalities among children in our city and that's the hypothesis we embedded this program and how we wanted to kick it off.

i'll continue -- i don't want to hog the mic., guys. so, when we decided to kick off the program, we conducted some research, some development and we considered many options factors to put in place and we wanted a school based program that would have the advantage of reaching children of all socio-economic groups and provide the venue of introduction of topics as well as advancing these topics as children in our school district progress from years on, so theoretically we'd like to have fourth graders and fifth graders involved in the project, as the fifth graders graduate, the fourth graders would take the roles and the third graders graduate to fourth grade would take the roll as well. we wanted a program to address the unique challenge that is are addressed with pedestrian safety it's obvious that some students are going to be safe

with different types of traffic and roadside issue than they do in the sunset or the bayview area, those are things we've consciously taken into consideration when we were researching and developing this safety patrol program, so one of the things that we did come across is the challenge of designing and engaging a method of providing education to children at the highest risk levels, so that is what we had in mind. and now i want to introduce jessica eng, one of our superstar students from sloal. >> hi i'm jessica eng, the safety patrol crossing guard program is to be an injury preventive program to educate our staounts on roadside safety so the program focuses on educating children in the

pedestrian safety area and helping them become more familiar with the details when they're crossing the vaoet and personally i have been [inaudible] through this program so i find it very helpful that i am able to talk more on this issue and i'll be speaking later. this program focusing on partnering with the san francisco police department, sfusd school sites student advisory council representatives and supervisor norman yee, norman yee's office. three parts are made in making the program successful, one is proper enforcement so you need some people who are familiar with the program to help make sure that the program is running smoothly at each of sites. second is improving traffic control and third is public safety awareness campaign, the s -- sac makes sure these

three points are going smoothly. when schools are first joining this program, there are several steps the school must take. the first step is meeting with the school principal and the team to discuss further steps with this program. the second step is surveying the school site area for the program. ordering the necessary equipment and supplies selecting the student leaders who will be in charge of this program, and for the safety patrol and orientation training for students and staff to become more familiar with this program and finally announcing the school's kickoff date. >> now i'd like to introduce miguel tantiado, thank you, from academy of arts and sciences and school board

member, if you haven't met him you will be this summer because he's going to be sitting on your board. >> thank you, mr. truet what i want to talk about first is student leadership. these are chosen or appointed students wisely by the principals to lead this program. student leadership is very beneficial in a student's growing years what they look for in their selection is leadership in maturity reliability and punctuality about ability to follow rules and desire to help other interest in traffic safety, strong judgment courtesy respect for classmates and others. student benefits, this is what student gets out of this program, roadside and traffic awareness leadership, like i said, very beneficial as well, team work, pride citizenship and respect for law enforcement
