worked with the last year with knhunty based [inaudible] that receive subsidize from the california department of education. these executive directors of the programs asked me to join them and advocate for the state for higher rates. frankly out of a growing fear that some of the members may not be in operation in the coming eryours. these programs called title 5 childcare are often the only center base provider that offer the services they do in the low income neighborhood. there are places fmlies can go to find quality service for the children and are a critical link for supporting low income children in san francisco ichb urm y years and through the effort to help reduce the achievement gap for k 12. working with them i learned a the market cost for operating in san francisco is close to 50

percent higher than the reimbursement they receive from the state. the city of san francisco through the office of early care and education has throun the program a life line in operational grant. you'll hear from [inaudible] and sthaf that the cost is rising in san francisco and what this means for them. mean while the rate they receive continues to be a single rate for all programs in cl regardless of the cost of operating in high cost urban count asies. urge you to restore 2 million for the operational grants and we'll keep doing our part working at it state level to raise the rates. thank you very much >> thank you next speaker please >> good morning. my name is [inaudible] preschool teacher for faces of sf. we need to continue to quality to keep our teachers in the classroom. if we have no teachers we won't be there to help the children. we

are asking for help and support to help the children learn and grow and have a positive roll model to give back. if we don't have our teachers in the classroom we can't teach the children. they want to take field trips and like to continue the art project squz continue what they like to do, but without help we can't continue it it and we are trying to do the best we can so we ask for your help. thank you >> thank you next speaker please >> good morning my name is caryn wing. good morning supervisors. i'm the copresident of faces family and child empowerment services. i'm here to ask for you to invest in our children. the children are our fawnidation of the city. without a good education and good care, we don't have a good foundation. like the past speakers, we need to have more funding. why?

because we haven't had a increase for the past 7 years until last year and with the minimum wage law go into effect in may, we need to be able to attract and retain good teachers but without the good compensation woo are not able to do that. public school teachers get more than the ece teachers. who can afford to live on 35 thousand dollars salary in this city with rent going for one studio for 4 thousand a month, no way? we are asking that we help to invest in our teachers in the students and children. for example let's be creative. in new york they invested 16 million dollars in early care

and education with 1.5 million going to the salaries of the teachers which was equal to the public school teachers. in san francisco we can't let new york get ahead of us, we have to be creative and find the money to support our children. let's build a strong foundation because after all, our children are our future. thank you. >> thank you next speaker please >> good morning supervisors i'm robin roth cochair of san francisco help titeing c task force and here with shurly [inaudible] representing and advocating for the thousands of people in san francisco effected by the help titeing c virus. we want to give thanks that the proposed budget for san francisco has for the first
