you know i don't think there is any question our board of supervisors here the school board your mayor's office, our entire administration in government knows those days how important education is to our city and certainly the companies who are trying to look for talent around the world know if if he focused on the low and behold talent there will be greater companies it is for our teachers and principles we're lucky because we do have a stronger relationship and one that i personally work with good reason i'm a product of public schools that's what got me into one of the most expensive colleges hardly anyone can afford i came back with the law school berkley i've said my

public teachers are the ones that taught me the evaluations that i hold and i'm pretty lucky, in fact, it was my history teacher way back when in public school that had a big influence that said there was a lot of things you have to be yours and be studyus is one thing but having a kind of vision of the real world is what i think teachers those days play more and more of a role and you open up people's principles and hopefully, they have enough faith and that's what teachers do san francisco i know our relationship is strong i know we don't think you not only in the classroom but the entire campus has to be safe and inviting and

positive and initiative you've been awarded and awarded for that with respect to the teachers we've had our moment on the fold of the giants and we had a lot of fun but for the prince promises i was wondering why you all leave. >> three-quarters it wasn't set up that way (laughter) your all knuckle or chosen i want to say to you that not only do the gifts and the recognition that you all deserve are being had today in front of peers and families and friends and students even but i want you to know the city truly appreciates you and our public schools system as well and we will be there for you those are good

minds we know we're there but i want to say if anything happens in bad times we should be there these days we're talking about how to build future housing so the talent is in the city that will be a good reward (clapping) so if i can congratulating all of you teachers and principles m v t and mvps to say that our city certainly myself we really value this relationship and the work you do and the relationships we hope to create even more with our business community now you see the entire chamber of commerce as well as tech companies want to embrace our education they want our families to succeed they want
