attracting a wider array of students providing a more principles base class essentially the vufth of c s 50 rather than c s hundred released in 2017 that lions aligns with our participation goals with the dual enrollment i do that this is something to be explored this district as well as the conditional recently received the california clear paths that is a $6 million grant and last weeks ago week he attended the summit that talks about the disparities between city college i don't think that those are still under developed the truth is in the last year only thirty students took

computer science courses through city college while they're in high school only more to be downey done there one the updates we've planning to hire a dedicated tsa that will determine what barriers exist at the high schools for expanding computer survives and working principles to add opportunities that's part of the research. >> did you sir isn't is it true teachers as a it is true we if build a foundation k through 9 this is the first, it might be boring to them now but we don't know once we built this foundation k through 8 it might be off the carts to them in high school; right? i don't know we think an introductory place

class in promise but further down the line we're looking at you know our second grader in 4 grade may be wanting a class that has to broaden their knowledge around dmurt science so i think what i've hearing there is another course you're going to be offering not an ap course still; is that correct and that's correct and it's bound but all the financial things around the ap classes you know i'm going to be honest that is a lot of money to have ap classes and costs the students to take the ap test it's an investment in the district and for our families which the majority of them you know qualified for free

and reduced lunch so i don't know i'm suggesting again, i'm not one the authors of this resolution i'm suggesting you may want to add in exploring our the opportunity for current reinforcement enrollment with the colleagues not just city college but ap two we're looking at help that he hydra shipyard. >> we're doing this whole stem thing; right? so instead of us doing the ap classes we might they might be taking college courses on those different campuses or the colleague teachers maybe attentively teaching in the classroom or the teaches macro maybe having the dual ability to teach in the

classed and give the continental consider this is where it is going natalie want to prepare i look at those bullet points don't list that possibility or leads us in that direction i don't want to box us in i don't know ap classes will be important on a student transcript they maybe looking at it didn't maybe that much i'm not saying no, but maybe an expansion so it didn't narrow us but we continue to look at maybe those responsibilities i know that in san francisco we have such an opportunity because we have so many university colleges here were all right. partners with and want to help us so i've seen so many students i'll be honest that take ap classes the way that ap classes

t is in a regular class students that take those and don't pass it and feel like they've failed in some way and no college credit at all so i think instead of it being a maybe and hinge on one test they could give the counts and take the class and pass it that will give them a leg up if we could add something a word or phrase or bullet pointed we've explore the opportunity for high schoolers to get the pain and suffering with the university and colleagues if that wouldn't be too much of a stretch. >> commissioner fewer can you state that once again and the

authors. >> i hope i can i was going to say add a bullet point when it says we'll explore our students have an opportunity to participate in concurrent enrollment opportunity with colleges and universities that san francisco unified school district has partnerships with. >> does that seem an okay thing and i don't know what let's word insight that i'll defer you to you guys are the experts i basically know nothing about computer science i can barely turn on my laptop i feel we're coffer all the base. >> explore the collaboration to offer dual enrollment options does that capture. >> sure. >> explore the collaborations.

>> excuse me. minding improper the opportunity for ask the to participate in those classes you mention what i mean and dr. murase. >> i actually like the more general phrasing we had at the beginning commissioner fewer as proposed if that's okay with the authors the reds i think that is important for the commissioners to know we're graej in a yearlong process if in the high school computer sciences class and the scope of second is exploring the question that commissioner fewer has already asked which is including all of the options for dual enrollment so the more general we can keep the resolution we'll come back to the board with the analysis

of that scope and consequence and audit and tell you how we'll perform. >> this shouldn't be you take the class and then an ap class if you choose to take that or if you choose to take. it creates a variability and about our students entrance and being able to offer a larger variety but options that have different opportunities for the students. >> there's a proposal for an amendment to explore the collaborations with congests e.r. colleges is that and i awe that memorable. >> those are perfectly fine. >> we have so much respect for our colleagues

(laughter). >> and that's mature. >> i'm fine with the language all right. it's been amended with an additional bullet point with dual options the next speakers a commissioner wynns and commissioner norton. >> thank you so i still have questions that i had when we looked at this before and as a committee review so one of my questions is so - here we are we - i'd like someone to tell me have we made progress or paying attention to the idea to map out the thing we're tell people to do in high schools and figure out how to do them all before we pass after all those so for i've gotten no indication there is progress on that front except for in the general when i've asked that oh yes we're going

to work on that is anybody working on that. >> yes. commissioner we're working on that and there's a school redesign project that is launching to look at the portfolios so ucsf we have a very, very diverse portfolio in our high schools small schools and large schools and specialized schools and specialized strand in addition the board had passed a number of resolutions that clearly define what the high school subsequence is for students and some restricted it we're looking at the matrix to determine how that plays out with all all the resolutions proposed and adapted with that said the subsequence we have laid out and were laid

out in the committee to the board clearly played out a pre k subsequence we're starting conservatively bringing before the implemented assessment the third thing is vision 2024 clearly latest out a space time and curriculum for us to computer science as integrated into mathematics that's how we look at this curriculum stwrand we're on point and that work is being done. >> i hope while in developmental stage i'd like somebody when we can look at it i'd like some body at sometime

to give us a - i hope when we see something here's all the policies we're trying to comply with and here's where there are barriers so one ever my questions has been and will be here we've passed commissioner vice president haney just left we passed a policy we were going to make ap classes available in every school every high school and then we actually made amendments to say we understood we couldn't provide the same ap classes in schools that are small but working on a way to provide access to ap cola's students going to other schools this is a perfect example where

other classes are under enrolled so all the classes we'd like them to have access to and also other options online options going to you know dual enrollment, etc. we haven't seen anything any report on how we're doing on that but i'm - and then again, because we're this is budget season i'd like to know what the budget impact is how we think we can do that i think i brought this up the last time one the issues will offering a number of classes that require specific credentials or train to teach in a small school or in a

large school there are often isn't enough you know a teacher who has this - who has the training to teach a class ply like ap science doesn't necessarily have the you know other credentials especially given the requirements about being highly qualified to have a full teaching log if they don't have other credentials or the have none of those practical issues burglary the implementation really means have been analyzed or more have we gotten information even though this is not the first time we've decided even this year adding something else to the high school curriculum i actually had an opportunity to talk to teachers about an entirely different subject not know i was talking about that a number said we can't possible teach all the

things your requiring us so big deal i said that's exactly my point not that it effected them in any way by it maybe we know by intuition is teachers and probable causes that are working and running the high schools are concerned this is not easy for us to say do this i'm hoping that the next time you report here's where we are and how we're addressing some of the issues and here's some of the solutions we've come up with and at least idea and further that will be in the context of all the things we're telling people they need to do and the last

part, of course, i understand we're not proposing to require kids we haven't proposed this as graduation requirement but the sort of how does the student actually able to access all the or even accomplish all the things we require them never mind we're dealing and recently seen some kind of disturb data never mind the ad g requirement and increasing them with the c requirement but just all the things we're telling you you have to take recently its occurred to me one the things we haven't discussed when we talked about the our well-intentioned kind of primitive high school program we're laying out

piecemeal i'd like to know i'm hoping that someone is looking at how students are able to take the classes they want to or need to so have certain competitive edges in applying to competitive schools if you want to get into a into a journalism program and not able to take journalism because we've restricted our requirements that the journalism program has disappeared in most of the high schools it would be good this should do the option access to computer science throughout the continuum ought to help our students most of them lots of kids to be more competitive but we don't know that we haven't looked at whether or not they'll be able to take that. >> i'm glad we're doing this

i'll be supporting it i also know it is a big goal and not necessarily a good implementation plain said that some plan but no specifics we definitely i'm concerned about the - i'm truftd we actually are but i don't think along the way we've addressed the issue of the difference kinds of resources available to high schools and different sizes thank you. >> superintendent. >> yes. dr. murase and consistence again thank you for as far as i am concerned the questions we're noting but again, i'm reiterate we're well on the path to do the analysis on the questions you've asked a couple of things to keep in mind that the question around additional tasks, if you will for our teachers is something

that has been front and centered in terms of how we approach this i want to remind everyone we have a partnership we're proud of with the united educators with - that have funded the innovation money to develop it train it will look like for our teachers it is really, really pro tem moderating i remember that president kelly came to the microphone and spoke favorable that's a big deal to have the teachers union on board and have this kind of that the second thing i'll mention kids are doing coding for the most part in san francisco their currently doing it for us what we want to do in the issue of equality it

get used a lot this is an equality issue because cited that are exposed to those kinds of skill sets either at home or in after-school programs or enrichment programs or enrichment experiences get that kind of support he know there are a lot of students in the classrooms that don't get that kind of experience that gives of gives that equality so they'll have that experience as we going forward if you that about what this means for the students i'm going to say it we're in san francisco this is a epic center of innovation and technology of computer science is behooves us there's an incredible energy in the community around rallying around helping us to not only fund that but help us to think

about how a integrate i'm excited as i speak to employers in the community they've made a great point if you're having students come through a process they'll have this experience in their pre k through 12 and get additional college experience we'll give them jobs they'll stay and live in san francisco and make a living here there's a lot of people talking about you been how folks are getting kicked out of san francisco for the purpose can live and thrive in san francisco this is an exciting time for us. >> commissioner norton and commissioner walton. >> thank you you know it's interesting consistence brought of the generalized complaz i was remembering i took introduction to computer programming when a jorge junior in college as was

good i got an a and fixed my desk computer i was surprised and support tucker's benefit i decided to go into a career in journalism than computer programming and i ran for the school board it's down on the financial scale ever since i want to ask about the budget implications i apologize what is actually included in the budget before us tonight to start ramping this up and the fiscal impact going forward. >> thank you dr. murase and commissioner renne i'm going to ask mr. to work to speak to that. >> for inform next year we're hoping to do work as a middle

school and other school level we have the fund from the salesforce.org function grant for the middle and high school grant but not the elementary work so financial implementation from the funding is nothing funding for future years we have a budget creative we've got determined not determined where it comes from and the innovation grant that's that. >> the - gym is learning more than that he didn't have a lot of information ahead of time but the regard is funding a staff position that will work to create an innovative opportunities for the current teachers to learn the skills and the knowledge i started - i believe on the e bs side to

create the opportunity for the teachers. >> i want to thank you for bringing it forward it's a great opportunity for the does the students and the fact that the kids are doing this out of school we need to provide those are equal opportunity for kids i wish my own kids were interested in coding but hopefully other kids will have the opportunity i'll support this. >> commissioner walton and commissioner vice president haney. >> i want to briefly state as i did in curriculum instruction committee that is cutting-edge and know we have statement and questions about equality and providing opportunity for blas black students and more students the fact that offers the same amount of elementary and more high school at least that addresses the equality ability and last thing in terms of

resources i know we have sole if i did over one thousand tech companies in this city with over hundred schools and hopefully gratefully seek the resources to fund things like computer science in our schools that aligns with what we want to see in the market as well thank you. >> thank you commissioner vice president haney. >> yeah. i mean, i'll be quick as well i want to thank everyone bryan andinterim chief and the superintendent and my coors could authorizes it is how to understate it is a big deal what this means for the future i think not just in our schools but in our city when we're literally going to have k

through 12 what this means for folks their ability to live and thrive in the city they call home, i think that is more 43 me the most situated how do we equip them with that not some of them but all of them and invest in the students who rely on the and the families that rely on public schools to provide those opportunities many folks are doing this outside of school not neighborly to everyone a world in which san francisco those skills and experience this exposure what that means for the city is exciting and inspiring i know hopeful if we imagine san

francisco to be a plays of innovation there is literally companies here and people here and ideas that are transforming the entire world our young people that graduate should be the ones doing that should be at the table and leading those conversations when it happens the world looks at different? in many ways recurs and wooelt will close the equality gap in the city definitely not the with only one but has to be done by putting equality at the forefront so one the things to answer is how we're thinking this was brought up in the public comment how we're thinking about which schools are chosen for the pilots i agree with the gentleman who made the

comment in the context like the commitment to african-american students achievement and opportunity i'd like to see if we're going to start somewhere with an equality mind to start with our african-american students so i'd like to hear about that and then the subsequenceing aspect is important but stuffing brought this up but making it relevant and engaging and assessable we have a couple of you know not just ap computer science but two game design academies that's extraordinarily and so this is adapt active and as the comments were put forth grow and learner over time not going to happen tomorrow but is it starts with planning department a flag in the ground? something as the superintendent said we have to do this is who we are if you

visit the students in schools they'll say we want better lunch number one but high-up there would be more technology more time open computers and what we they know we're catching up to not only because it is fun and enjoy is it that's what at the need to be successful and that's what they're doing outside of school and not doing it in school their missing what they feel like the world is where the world is going in terms of the communication and learning and expertise and technology so thank you for putting this together the last thing getting a since of where the pilot schools are and again, thank you for all your work. >> thank you commissioner vice president haney so absolutely everybody we're doing in our

initiative through the lens of equality and the board adapted as priorities and focusing on our historically disengaged community is a lens we're applying the lens of where are the opportunity to do some good pilot work and preexisting conditions to that endeavor i so want to ask brighten to elaborate. >> as commissioner haney mentioned equality is at for the most part of this initiative to posing to the principles completely let us know you're interested we commit barriers like did devices and funding for a specialistocytes those are were to the barriers to the schools that want to participate we originally intent to allow space for 6 schools to participate and due to overwhelming participation we have 13
