definitely see the importance of working with the unified school district because of the depth and breathe of reach you all have in reaching the students and parents so the entire families with those r this great information that can change lives our ask is specific we have brochures in chinese and english and tagalog we're hoping that the school district will post the posters in every classroom so every student has access to the information about where to get the direct services so the students can see the information without revealing their status and additional we would like to get that information to the teachers i have a fact sheet in english and chinese and spanish and hope to have forms that share those are

the students thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please good evening. >> members of the board thank you for the opportunity your allowing us to be here i work with people organizing to the environmental and economic rights but it is a member an organization of what annette was describing the to the education board i'm here to talk about what it medians to be documented to go to this district graduated here from high school and went on to college and now doing a master's degree a masters program given i had the opportunity to (clapping.) have a fabulous teachers in my high school i was able to be connected to resources to information that helped me and

allowed me to continue on with my education not all schools are as luke not every student has the opportunity to have great teachers that guided me through and people i was able to trust in my sidewalks and asked them where can i get legal hope and undocumented not everyone has that opportunity that's why we're here to ask you to help us help our students so we can pass along that information as well as provide them with safe bases they can come forward and talk about their needs and just this year in march we have a big community forum you at chavez hundreds of people came and it was to inform them with the real information there's a lot of

enough to have alleyway those resources available so i think the importance now is to connect the students with those resources because of dock a i've have an opportunity to work with a nonprofit organization and work directly with potential dock a qualified youth i'm here today to talk about talk about that and we've seen i am not you know we have received high school students who quality for dock a but see there is a large group that may not know about this program may not be informed we want to work with you to get this group to apply it is very important and a lot of those students an aging into qualify for dock a one of the most important things for those

legally ♪ country and help the families with the income it is our responsibility at a public district i'm wondering the handbooks i think this as misconception it is a lot of them are students that could be eligible for dock from mexico and a lot of api students could qualify and every year usual right every year students are amp in so perhaps and if the board is interested get an update on the resolution is it something we need to canned awe on how effective is it and it is now 2015 i can't imagine we amazing passed that resolution so we can respectfully request an update that would be great. thank you very much >> mr. superintendent. >> yes. thank you president muirase thank you, everyone for

director in student family support thomas and team so you're on folks.

>> good evening superintendent carranza and commissioners to the board of education as the superintendent said i'm kevin truit the chief of the

community support a new title i'm getting used to it innocent under those a pretty big crowd behind me we want to thuchs this started at a syrup resolution is all enchiu's and requires participation from virtually everyone in the department it is to have a resolution and important for people to see all the different areas of work that comes together to support the safe and supportive schools i'll joined. >> by my formally executive director school health programs thomas executive director of people services and others directors for the family engagement and newest mary richard and executive director for the secondary success

so we would like to start with the behavior action trillion dreams how do we implement safe and supportive schools coming out of people services perhaps the most and again, we're cit into some the slides to move as quickly as possible as many of you may know last year, we developed the action team the behavior action teams are complied of our cb a i have a script thank you bat teams for the strategy to have more personalized students and model the staff with different roles and responsibility to share their areas of expertise are expertise to maximize their efforts last

year 3 bat teams this year 4 two elementary all to introduce those people i'll put a lot of faces to the names and the bats teams nicole and our newest member is supporting cohorts 1 and 3 all the middle schools and pre k h jenny's fabulous team supported by enrique o'neill and the high schools our high school bill sanderson's team is supported by one person i borrowed from mission high yeah. the teems as i said they've consisted of many teams what does a bat team the slide the

bat team keatings keeps track of that information and they call it the back tractor i don't think of those names thomas don't (laughter) so as you can see last year that what did the bat team provided 6 hundred and 767 outreaches to schools to restore the practices one school 10 different times they went out and the next most counseling conferences a lot of times people come to the people's services? an idea of what a bat team side this attach points with the schools behavior action trillion with schools i wanted i to see we monitor what is it we actually do with the schools one of the things that happened when we had our bat teams we

have behavorial certified analysts we have created a program we grow our own and this year we had supervising board certified also i didn't and lucky is where are they yeah (clapping.) and others are here because kathy and shamming neck >> they've passed the b cb a thanks to lucky and others help we're proud of them and having 3 more that are go going to be studying for the test perhaps one the biggest things you all

got our student handbook and in the handbook on page 59 accident behavior matrix i have a have a shout out to enrique package 49 the color code behavior matrix a huge thank you to the monique and others for her tireless efforts for the multiply departments and community parents and many partners in the development felt the first behavior matrix not perfect but as we shared with the principals at the festers development perhaps the greatest use of the matrix to spark conversations at the ask the communities how we respond to the behavior and what alternatives instead of spending the students and what interventions 2, 3, 4 basing

place and speaking of interventions it is important if we're to go to say what you are doing to support the students behavior what you are doing rather than how are you kicking the kid out of learning what are you as the supports for that student doing to requarterage that student in leon so we needed a system that will actually record what interventions you have in the old days in the s ap everyone brings their notes and bring the notes and hopefully, the teachers jotted it down on paper now a system and so with our counseling online referral form the same company that designed that system for us designed the behavior social and emotional intervention based data system

and is jennifer here. >> jennifer designed this program and trained everyone in the city of san francisco several administrative meeting and at the constitute the admin development we had at as far as i am concerned st. mary's and jennifer called on several individuals how they record the interventions seeing this happen at the school that is key that will tell us the intervention are effective and what works to identify the best practices another important part to connect the interventions does it have an impact on asism and

they're not going to stating stay out of school the chronic an sdichl a big thank you for 83 an she child welfare she helped to create that and in basis i wanted to show you one the things you can't see this so it is elementary school k through 8 through the clusters of middle and the last one sunlights high school the important thing if so the interventions at the middle school one thousand 3 hundred and 41 interferences of those 3 hundred and 81 interventions we are employed for african-american students and 5 hundred and 38 force latinos students we call it african-american and latino students we wanted to see are we

intervening with a place for the most classroom referrals and suspensions we see i think the assassinating and latino thirty percent of middle school roughly and we estimated i don't know my numbers in front of me 50 percent of the interventions at the middle school so just to give you an idea how we're monitoring the interventions we have professional development with our partners another area of safe and supportive schools a outreaching to our partners and i do - one of the things we did relevance at the beginning the august had a collaboration with the united indicators and i'd

like to call up u sf vice president syrian solomon to say and others are here from people services that cooperated this training and i know that a s f there were advised on this. >> seeing hi susan go ahead and nicole. >> hello, i know you didn't expect to see me sitting at this table the indian indicators got a grant for 45 r $75,000 for to help with training and the pro social behavior for the students it took place from august 3rd to 750 members participated one the behalf things and many beautiful

things are paraprofessionals and teachers and support staff all trained together and all at the same rate of that is a by way of it was great a lot of these positive feedback on the slide a trainer of trainers policed to the people that have been trained formed teams and they'll spend over the course of the year to train their colleagues and nicole and i are working on the calendar to get it in place each team will do several two hours training several sites around the city especially want to a couple of things one the a f t required two factors for this grant one we had to have a partnership with the school district and the on that be a trainer of trainer models it was spinal thanks to

nicole because she's been wonderful to work with as a partner in this district thank you. >> (clapping). >> i want to say thank you to susan that was a great collaboration and within of the things you pointed out on the training it was pretty much the same curriculum in the district our office rather and you know the district has been training all our professionals it is all connected with the behavior theory we have two places to train the indicators on social and positive behavior support. >> (clapping.) thank you so - >> that was a photo op

eave extend a professional development opportunities to exclude the officers and this is also in support of our sf mou so i'd like to now call corey clark to talk about briefly to say a few words been the restorative training school officers and ben koffman too. >> so folks we have this wonderful opportunity to partner with the resource officers to bring in professional development and what was great about this opportunity we're meeting at the end of last year, we asked them to identify what training they wanted to receive and the number one piece they identified the number one focus was how to interrupt bullying so

in our efforts to support them we've been able to illicit the refresher active practices to interrupt the bullying so i have the great future to work with folks and they've had the opportunity to work for the garden project 0 corey will speak to his experiences when engaging with the high school officers. >> thank you televised for participation was engaging we had a wonderful opportunity to work with the garden project several young people that were employed through the garden resource officers we met at the san bruno

county jail we initially thought we would be training the youth but we at the end up training the resource officers they sat down with the youth and expressed how they engaged with the youth and what they prfkd we did a surmountable discipline window that was the greatest opportunity we saw to allow the people to engage the social discipline window talked about what it felt like when people did things to you and when they didn't do things at all more o most of the young people said they do things against us police officers saw an opportunity to place their opportunities in front of one another and speak about it was really revealing they both saw the way they. >> each other was in opposition

and being in opposition a way to resolve that we helped them to find ways to resolve it to work together more effectively. >> thank you. (clapping.) >> safe and supportive schools doesn't end when the school day ends school a positive engaging environment beyond the school day and here to say about that is community partnerships mr. smith. >> thank you kevin. >> good evening superintendent and commissioners i'm going to be brief so it is really excited to say just big deal part of the school district as we move towards implementing the safe and supportive school resolution are e i wanted to

talk about briefly the frame where we're moved and the after-school programs and adopting many of the simple frameworks about two years we adopted the framework for the after-school programs we've worked towards the intentional work and design looking at the support from schools and as a result i think we've aligned with the district initiative to can i - >> thank you we've taken a look at the theory and created 5 filet mignonal components of our theory of action we with this we have what we call the quality action plan and kevin says. >> because we give a clap about after school. >> (laughter).

>> as you can see we have 5 foundational supports and intentional programs design and the big arrow to the compliment which is critical piece of after-school program and really critical what happens in the school happens in the after-school programs so apart f that is our and we're missing i don't know what happened to the clrpd you thought we have free muni i was there this morning but - i'm not over it. >> (laughter). wishful open so we have our assistance and instructors the wheels on the bus and the systems and structures designed those with the drivers that drives the engines of the

after-school programs and we have our vision windows for safe and supportive and healthy yoint youth and really strong aligns academic supports i'll talk about the green windows what ear down with the safe and supportive climate 2012, 2013 we've implemented that all of after school staff is trained in the programs 101 the following year after we've trained everyone we want the circles as part of the action plan so the community circle and after-school programs last year collaborating with people services the great trainers many of whom were mentioned this morning >> earlier in this presentation received the initial entertaining after the safe and

support schools resolution and the behavorial matrixes and this year we're excited we've actually had to dedicated staff across the street here working together to offer an r a urban identified approach to the restorative practices last year the culture and climate surveys the blue is elementary school and blue is high school and the orange is high school we have high numbers in elementary we've got 90 percent of elementary students saying their participated in the community considerable if they participate almost 80 percent assessing everyone in the courage is engaging it f in it ♪ high school is a little bit lower we're not sure if the language is rights on the survey

i'm sure we call them circles but even at the high school level those students participant in the skblgz o circles everyone is engaging no, i'm sorry this slide a different slide > >> yeah. so i'm going to alleged you safe and supportive schools that was after school we want you to know it extends to all students excluding with the leaning plans recycle 504 prepare process i'd like to to ask kim executive director for school health programs to say a few words. >> thank you kevin well, you know (clapping.) i have a few folks in the audience i want to recognize

other members of the team that are involved in making sure that schools and our students are safe and supported so i'm going to bother them to stand for just a moment we get to be here on the same night so (calling names). >> and corey and mia are two of the newest members of the leadership we're glad to have them. >> (clapping.) a quick reminders of section 5040 the rehabilitation act the civil rights that prohibits discriminations against pobd for school districts that get federal funding the accommodations specified in the 504 plan are in the general

education program so this enables the students with varying disabilities that may substantially limit one or more activities to get services to insure equal access that is the key point as it relates to this resolution sf c s d has championed the process it was working before but very focuses on the physicals health niece and broadened to the warns of a wider array of issues of students if get into the way of their access to education a couple of areas where we've made improvements to increasing the capacity of staff and leaders that support the students for the professional and development example in this last year, we had a hundred and 10504

corresponded that is typely filled by the nurse and administrators this last october they looked at protocols there's been training for the high school staff for other personnel and a lot of work around informing the new veteran administrators through the a.d. hocks last year and this past august really making the connection of the quality lens and those accommodations to make sure our students have access to the general education program additional we're looking at training for the paraprofessionals so in addition to the one-on-one training provided through insist terrific booster i was we're looking to

train patterns with the deelevation strategies for the training happening in september some other pieces of support so for the 5040 process both the folks in sf this task force is convened monthly to look at reviewing and strengthening protocols for the identification so process is only as good as people that know about it and how to assess it. >> one other piece that's been important before we talk written about the data what supports are available to the school sites to in addition to the 504 correspondents are correspondents a central team that appraise the supports for

consultation a quick snapshot looking at the changes over the last two school years the total number of students with the 504 plan increased 50 percent and 34 percent in 2014-2015 the site might look slightly different than the one in the handout we've seen an 81 percent increase in the african-american students receiving the accumulation and services through section 504 on the final slides we also want to give you a breakdown of the type of or the two major categories of the 504 physical and mental health and note the 76 percent in the increase of number of the students ref support that is addressing the

mental health in the past year i want to mention and acknowledge someone else's who's a member the school health sf and here leadership is constitutional and addition not task force that's kathy i want to take a - >> (clapping.) health had asked me to mention to a couple of schools i want to call out principal and hillcrest and sf community both have bang embraced from process in terms of using a team approach and putting interventions into place with the members of the staff including the teachers and nurses and partners in the community so again, thank you kathy and thank you task force

members. >> and before we go on to some of the other data i want to call out a few people that support how success team i know that last year with the superintendent and the board courageously gave the tlipz to the deferring students the secondary post team lead by our team members thank you to them we've been doing early warning the bridge to success and that's a very, very key intervention we've been using for a while so i do want to thank them on to some more data we'll jump into last year schools suspensions and thomas. >> so obviously this a tactic that can take a lot more time

commissioner the suspensions have fatten drastically now slauj out and increasing we're findings we're helping a lot of the elementary schools that were previously not recording suspensions but helping them to record the data correctly this is part of being rigorous about the suspensions but the good news is the suspensions for the students we were the most concerned the african-american students when he started this work all going down significantly. >> we sdp did a great transition i said to show you all the supports and everything we're doing before we have to resort for the professional development that is happening before i see some of the more sobering data.

>> as you can see the last cause of suspension was the serious physical injury with the yellow error and as you can see in general we're stepping down in the same pattern you can also see some members of the community we've unfortunately have some suspensions actually this the system we sort of will found this out at the end of the year for the folks that are not committed so for those 50 suspensions we've been working individually with the city hall's to make sure those schools have the skills and resources they need to not do that in the future now on to the slide that shows some of the remarkable process we've seen and as you can see that for african-american students there are a definitely pattern of significant decrease

it is still you know we've quota got a ways to go we need to call out the middle schools that show the most significant growth and is that i have up you'll see ♪ the numbers in the intervenes they're going a lot of interventions for the is the those two things appears to be going together >> yeah. middle school and (clapping.) >> also, we said to contagious advantage of this time to give you our in alignment with the stewardship mou we've present the data as you can see those are the last 5 year trends i did present in january, the fall only semester this is 2014-2015 and

as you can see well, a slight decrease but pretty much the same as 2013-2014 our data, data speaks for itself our middle school and high school disproportionate arrests across the school district as you can see the gender defensive for the arrests 69 males and compared to 21 females i do want to mention this slide needs to be corrected because it is wrong someone pointed out to me the information so here are my notes those are the actual arrests this is overwhelming to get you the correct slide i apologize that this one seems to have some numbers correct and some not correct i have the data leading

up to the arrests 0 so on sorry it didn't come out in the fall i didn't add in the rest of the toelsz for the year okay so in closing we want to people to know that what are we doing about that we start with the people and the program what is working behind safe and supportive schools to have an impact to make our positive environment for all learners i'd like to leave you with there is really impressive of work that is the work of people behind media here professional development offered during the summer of 2015 before the start of 2015-2016 school year 5 hundred and 17 teachers and staff attend retiree active practices and this is only this summer this is after school ended this south america

2 hundred and 2 staff and teachers get packs for the good behavioral training and others received training in positive behavorial in intervention strategies and 70 people got training and 95 individuals received training in response to behavioral intervention and 58 individuals got train in pro social behavioral and 40 staff received training in joint tenant in the tier index for one thousand plus teachers were trained bra the 2015-2016 school year starts so a lot of work this is happening and a lot of people that are taking advantage of the training and i'm very proud to say that this is the

department that is working very, very hard as i sit in front of you i couldn't be prouder of the work and make sure they know that i precious appreciate all they do for all of us that concludes my presentation. >> before i invite questions or comments we have two public speakers (calling names) if you'll please come to the podium two minutes. >> i'm kevin the president for the advocacy for cul-de-sack man

and student members have been involved that this resolution he since the beginning we've worked closely with the prelims and roll out we're excited about the process that has been made i think for us the big difference between progress and success i think we're a long way of successive prelims of the entire revises if the areas of concerns we have all around the 3 year implementation plan we feel we have not seen a complete calculated implementation plan that outlines when all the changes will be occurring and the support are in place to execute we are haven't seen conversations about the students parents and teachers about how this will change attire experiences and give them a change to add their voices and concerned about the african-american students we've seen success in the overall

numbers increasing but the african-american will more likely to be arrested or suspend they're a fraction of the entire school district we woe we want to make sure that the community as access to this san francisco police commission 0 so we can be engaged someone that something that was missing what the data in numbers we used a lot of numbers in convincing the board we feel this is important the information is shared so we can document the process and see what it looks like for the students in the classroom only african-american students been suspended you how many white and asian students suspended we need that and wanted to see the board get actively involved in supporting the execution of this and being our allies and making sure our students are getting a

high quality education thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening laura with the public council thank you to all the team he of course, how hard you're working and appreciate the vision and the thought behind that and all the efforts we're very much looking forward to a couple of things i want to echo what kevin said we're concerned about the fact there were over a hundred suspensions for last year for the local defines and hopefully more attention paid to that for brown the end of the school year those suspensions should not be occurring and more than 50 percent went to the african-american and the matrix there should be a phone call to the lead superintendent before a student is suspended that kind of dialogue really for those school sites are getting the

information and the interventions what happen right away so see the kind of declines we're also happy to see the balanced scorecards with the indicators and look forward to seeing robust training for administrators around the matrix how to implement and what resources to put in place to assure all the alternatives with available to all schools when we feinstein see that happen with all the internals that's when we will see a huge shift not only if 9 suspensions but the types of surveys the after-school programs hopefully for staff and all students the climate is getting better and the students are living safer and so the graduation rates will go up i'm looking forward to seeing a strong year and hoping to

provide support to the team. >> thank you very much. >> convicting questions or comments from sideboard. >> commissioner walton and commissioner wynns and commissioner fewer. >> mr. truit thank you and our team for the work i know the roll out has, of course, told a lot about the team i appreciate all the work you've been doing i have a few questions one is in terms of perform development so for teachers in the trainer model do we think the resources was sufficient in not what would that look like to make sure that the training is for o more encompassing for the teachers are we rolling this out at each of citing site to address the school culture and how does that work

and we talk about the after-school program are reproviding professional development for the partners that work at the school everything in terms of out of school and off-street parking a lot of cb those are and what does that look like for their professional development and in terms of practicing resort active practices and in terms of track and referrals definitely want to receive information on that and see when that looks like and we did a great job of providing opportunities for the professional development over the simmer what are we doing for brand new teachers and giving them the support they need as we continue to do the work under the resolution. >> so i know that was 5

questions but - >> are you willing to side one contaminate. >> thank you commissioner walton. >> when you talked about the trainer model were you referring to the 58 trainers the trainer of trainers. >> i know there was a grants for $75,000 was that sufficient and if not. >> - >> so i do also want you to know that the superintendent contributed $50,000 to that to the extended hours for the teachers we want to saying see how that 48 is going to be trained i think that is a great first step but it certainly a foot in the door i think that

another effective way when the bat team go out to the school we can grow our obituary within the school site some people get the expertise and go back and lead the way if you want a specific area you mentioned like i talked about the restore active practices the schools asked us to do to provide the training on who thought questions about the after school you know, we did a couch years ago trained all the leads agencies in the restorative practices we're implementing the behavioral and tiers of intervention of support for after school and let's see your other question.

>> so this year we collaborated with h.r. two to spend 90 minutes if with the brand new teachers and hooking them 80 up to resources whatever we are and at the sites we're paying attention to the brand new teachers we have increasing the experience set of culture that are getting good at this you asked us about the biggest problem around training is access to the staff it's not you know because of the time is to limited on the school date but it gives us more activities will will how us more assess to the staff for training were in a couple of weeks doing the substitute teachers thanks to the collaboration with human

resources in mrmentd and in terms of classroom referrals we'll get more specifics about what questions we'll get the data for you. >> commissioner wynns and commissioner fewer. >> thank you and thanks to everybody that was really exist i'm glad to hear most of those things one question about the i remember last spring when matt and i did a presentation at sb a and were shocked to see when you gave us the data i don't remember but anyway, it had the local categories we saw that happened so, of course, we want to know that i'm more concerned

this is this is a bookkeeping issue we didn't get it out of the dictated system when we thought we did uniform concerned about the followup with the schools where that data is coming from so follow-up on the data we didly have collected but serious because we were concerned we've always been concerned we can pass all kinds of policies but having the mechanisms to really be able to understand their followed with filled outlet is another question here's an opportunity we should be following up on and not letting that get away from us. >> it has a little bit to do with the fact we get this data we pull it out specific cause and we see this so we have had

to do is pull it regularly so we can get to the schools that are still doing this we'll follow-up with the schools individual as a matter of high urgency to meet with the administration that i understand - >> so i'm mostly concerned about that we pass this the question was what can you do i understand we can do all those things but what are we doing to sfout schools with call is it something else bus we know they were doing it last year and now that they can't call it that what other things are they calling it i'm wondering what kind of follow-up to the prelims of all the training we're doing

to see that the behavior is changing the staff behavior and in particular in that area because you know we're also there's been a lot of very good serious discussion about we need to understand what everyone meant by local defines or you're not linking to me or get out of here or all the things people didn't want to be doing and this is a an power issue about the actual implementation and actually following the policies we've put in place i'm hoping now or particularly we can now we have a lot of baseline data we've done since we passed the policy and since this implementation and build the systems what do we actually see that is different. >> i want to mention a couple of things one i think the

counseling on that forum and the probation intervention that gives us realtime data we can look up a particular school or look up how many out of classrooms referrals or deintelligence are happening we want to mention we last cohort you to the train was with the high schools we've had all the high schools in some in any way, shape, or form but even the schools that are through training they have new staff this is a restart bottom but bum but one of the things if you look at the behavorial a ti and the components if, if you look at the three years ago compared to now the feedback from the

city hall's has been the absolute most critical i know for myself when i provide the welcome thank you for being here and seeing the agenda bans what the schools says this is working this is not working we need more of that it transforms the understanding more presenters so thomas team a listening to that at the same time having discussions that are what the bat team is having corey with the conversation with pablo and bills team to talk about what was happening and bans the day i know there is not onlylys in the data no suspensions or too many among category they individually do outreach to them and thomas will be there talking about the data and the data is spawning

conversation with the professional development which is constantly changing to meet their needs and hopefully that has some impact. >> prospecting has a response. >> i have another. >> just briefly so the excellent work the family student family division is doing is outstanding we're seeking commissioner a itch more coherent approach across the district so while mr. truit and his team are excellent at the capacity and the hostile spots, if you will, he's working closely with the superintendent and our new chief of schools as those schools are identified as into the weeds additional port that is written into the schools b f c and written into they're site plan we're monitoring for

the accountability so even when i walk into the schools i'm pretty sure their b c and looking for certain evidence of practices in school sites so we're - being much more coherent not just the student father and mother support that is really in charge of that an exciting times i think that part of which you're hearing is the capacitate and building and you don't think i don't want to over emphasis the other but the training we're implementing with a degree of fidelity. >> i'm seeing things differently but only the data is what we want for the data to show what we see

and that it is systemic and applicable across the board and working so i think this is as i said sort of baseline data you know and by way of - and yes. i did i want to go to the training you've talked about i want to go to the one the teachers and the practitioners are saying what about this this is what is happening and tests hard and actually, the train i was able to go for for half the day maybe two or three hours that was a two or three day training so i want to go to one of the two hour training so i can not because - i mean, i could stay there for two days the way that the board members participate is an issue i want to go to the

follow-up training not just the length so i can have an opportunity to hear from people that work evidence how this is working this is hard to hear in a presentation like this this is one of my main points one other thing i this you'll be happy if you sent us the list of the hundred trairnz but i want to if you're listening if i can talk with someone put me in touch with someone where it is effective so that's it and the other thing about the climate surveys so those numbers look incredibly impressive although the actual the dumbers were not experiencing billing

all those numbers real when up hear that. >> so one of the things that comes to mind is people who fill this out their self-selective and people that are engaged in the first place but i'd like to really like to - somebody that is analyzing that point me to someone that help methinks what we think we should learn from this not oh, my god look at those high numbers that self-help me. >> interrupting you should bring that up melanie says there's 3 bars we took out the bullying ones the 90 percent we don't know about that we didn't wanted to take that away and not show you we had the same question we're looking at.

>> i feel so much better i got the right question. >> we'll read that bar so we were - that slide changed but we're looking at that we think that is an important thing to look at i want to say with the programs i say that every time i can't say enough about the quality of the leads agencies and the c b o we're very, very fortunate our children are not just childcare and the organizations are professional and looking at quality and i think they and coming to being the restorative practices they're made tremendous gains it is 90 percent of not building in

the after-school programs and if you only ask them is this true in our after-school program rather than true in the school experience that is a different thing pause after-school programs are small now we want to make them a lot bigger we should be concerned florida if there's a huge disconnect between what necessary experience in school it can't be true to all of us i don't know. >> commissioner fewer and student delegates. >> okay. thank you, chief and i appreciate the whole presentation i think that was informative and i want to delve a little bit deeper you don't have to answer those now but you can follow-up so the packages

are not numbered but under total sphinxes i'm wondering do we have any day on the key suspensions how many of them by the same offender that triggers another intervention smi something you've looked and this is- this did the total suspensions k through 12; is that correct and all the schools for the continuation schools thank you very much that data will be interesting and also when you have the basis intervention would we get the percentages by race that tells us the certain populations how many; right? i think every time we're doing it by race it good considering we're losing some african-american population so i'm trying and go to measure the

impacts when we are looking at the impacts the same question i think for african-american interventions for the top 3 violations and we do it by race tell me sort of what percentage of the ethic group has the suspension and then i think another thing i'm looking and thank you very much to mary a friend of mine to explain to me been the 504 i saw the first number was in a panic is that a good thing i asked mary it in a good or bad thing i'm asking that base think that is a difference level of services or type of serves as often as the board explains to me and thank you the 504 is not something before a district has really eyed the numbers have

shown that in fact the only time i heard of that when you use the elevator this is a physical and mental 504 i'm believeing this increased in the 504 is potentially a very good thing that the students so show for academic successes a separated classroom with 3 levels of education and going to a different classroom i think true to our belief in the district that every student is first a general ed student i want to know the education achievement of the ask the with the 50 had plans now we have this increase

our measure for success should be the impacts an individual students and i'll assume under educational academic xhuchlts achievement and if we're not meeting our goals or we're not seeing an increase in the back we need to look at why the only reason i ask there the department on site i'm saying that the spell education not because of cotter indicator but the impacts on history and everyone can agree with our past history i'm looking at the 504 it is a big increase i want to over and see what is if we could have this i mean sort updated data after you've done what are

you finding is this more success and they said naigs is this actually getting more academic second and that, of course, is our hope and i wanted to say that when you look at the percentage increases if the 504 from 2014-2015 and i see two charts here what i want to look at african-american students and our latino students which category did they did we find an increase in when i say there is h ad and mental health and physical math can i give him a breakdown of those students a

those categories are we seeing the increases mainly in physical health and for latino students and then yeah. i guess would love updated information when we emigrate did on the referrals all of that really is about out of classroom time the referrals were off the charts i'm hoping with all the interventions and additional entertaining we're seeing a decrease more in the monitoring i know that data is tricky we need data to be honest and data not to be punitive but data to correct what we are doing what is not right so i think we walk a fine line; right? we want you to report

everybody and honestly even though sometimes, it is not good news and the trigger for height i'm sensitive to the fact we're not listing by schools we don't want to punish schools but help schools; right? and in the implementation of the even more restorative process to mriven that kind of data is important i'd like to see that and of the specific supported schools resolution he think that i was really, really interested in were the referrals because it was so undocumented and it was so broad of a categories what you, be referred to out of classroom when we look at the

suspension rate that was decreasing but really the loophole railroad the classroom referrals in those numbers it is almost shocking the amount of time lost so we can have that that would be great and then i want to is my other concern about restorative practices i was one of the authors i want to make sure we are he continuing our commitment so i'll meet with you i think that you restructured a little bit of your team i'd like to discuss about the restoring and maybe look at that budget together but chief we want to say to our team thank you very much and for the work i do everyday. >> like to invite comments or

questions from the student delegates and commissioner norton. >> thank you president muirase. >> thank you, again to the entire team for taking the effort and time to share this resolution and planning for this resolution and what strikes me is the idea of implementing this reentry conference for the students to have a chance to prove to the staff and members their cable of changing their habits i have two questions maybe i didn't catch it but the actual surveys are they taken from the staff members themselves as in staff members that have received reports or are they from the voices of students? >> what surveys are you referring to. >> just the - >> after-school program ones.

>> the after school surveys and we only reports on the surveys that the students answers and the parents and the staff administrators. >> my second question is so i know that this may not be logical or but - let's say for if a student were to let's see do something wrong and then they were allowed to be receive the re-entry conference but that student after a year or a couple of months that student jorge hearing were to do another wrong action how does that work do you have any data to answer that

like as in like any repetitive action from students or just in general. >> so i'll thank you what because your high school i'll bring up our high school expert come here i can you knew that would be so ms. kern trains iuoe all the high school administrators so the example you gave she'll be able to provide you feedback on that okay. >> hi can you tell me our name. >> i'm teresa chang. >> teresa. >> teresa if i said your question you're asking about repeat offenses to the students offends in the is that you we looking like to think after we make a mistake we get another

chance so some people take longer to learn things we always want to be willing to give them the chance to learn again my advice to the teacher and class is that this time this person will learn and i think the best way for the person to learn positive behavior is to accept that person back in and expecting the best behavior and giving them the support they need you think is the best way to make sure it happens. >> thank you. >> thank you, again. and the rest of the staff for all this beautiful data one thing i want to add has there by mount academic increase in the process as well as the changes in the

students altitudes towards their school. >> very good question we're monitoring the cameras needs our good you're good doing great on the boards by way of. >> teresa smiles a lot if she looks like she's not going to smile make here laugh make her laugh that is good day we've been looking at increases in two things monitoring the increases in attendance as attendance goes up as we're politely interventions and also in gpa because in as the suspensions go down kids are in school more we're seeing more gains in grade point averages and increases in the academic thanksgiving things

and the middle schools we've summarize that data for hard numbers for you okay. >> commissioner norton. >> i wanted to note i appreciate commissioner fewer's question about the 504 i've asked the superintendent is this a reaction to decreasing our disproportion african-american students for education it sounds it is a good thing we're serving the students for what they need and not doing academic interventions for what they don't need we need to see additional information commissioner fewer asked for but the decrease in the totaled number of suspension and the slight uptick and if i

understood you correctly you transcribed to uptick to our staff working closely with site staff that the recording of the data did i understand that correctly. >> yes. we've had a little bit of difficulty with some elementary school that do f suspensions. >> but again, we actually think we don't like to see the suspensions we think that a good thing we terrorist the uptick in the data. >> we're able to say you need to record we need to record a new system so that recording is the same with the online

referrals for classmates you'll classrooms more and more schools are adapting that system and thank goodness you'll see an increase in the interventions and support we're getting an amazing respond to that system we're so thrilled that the schools are looking at that robustly arrest so thank you very much for chief master chief for you and your staff. >> commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell. >> thank you. i want to add my thanks this was complex work that you're doing and it takes a lot to address did multi tier systems as well as the challenges that the students face in our district and i'm really grateful we have the leadership we do in this division and that we've been able to add

staff for you and the systems are coming together so they're starting to make sense and the information we have we're sharing amongst yourselves and the staff is consistent and it is coming from you know one place and we're really trying to build partnerships and the shared training to me has been tremendous that enables us to be more consistent in our work across the board so really wanted to thank you for your continued work i know that is hard we certainly want to provide you with the support to provide. >> students and a lot of the questions asked by the commissioners i'm equally interested in i think this moment to stop and thank you. is critical it is daily work

that we feel last week we're trying to solve for and just making sure that the support you guys need are in place feels better for us under the situations we're not knowing that is enough but you do what i do and the results over the years despite the cuss we've had is tremendous so thank you akee up the great work. >> thank you student delegate katie tang for asking the nuts and bolts question is that the individual teachers or principal how does it get activated. >> commissioner gordon. >> so each is the bat team has

assigned cultures to each school has a culture that is so i understand to them that's the first line of support cultures are working with the schools to implement something called the tiered development inventory a monitoring tool we'll ask 10 kids and staff what are the rules are you been taught them and do you know them and reinforced for being on the right path we calculated help the schools to monitor that they don't need to tall call but we're there we often get calls in emergencies and sometimes, we'll go to kevin that puts us on it sometimes directly to the

bats team leaders yeah, we have this - we've our motto is sort of all in agreement we tend to go after the schools when we get a call and try to problem solve we're getting a high-level of availability. >> thank you very much the same question there's been a lot of under the influence on the interventions and responses to behavorial my question what degree to childhood experience and trauma informed care as part of picture. >> it's a huge part of it so you know actually kim are you going to take this one or kevin a bunch of people we work closely with dpw and also the

staff at the health program and is the nurses have been trained by the doctor i think that kim go ahead i'm just talking. >> (laughter). thanks for that question a huge piece of capacity building and the trauma good lens that all of the nurses and social workers and wellness teams have in thinking about the different supports section 504 was mentioned we're increasing that lens so something that initially might have a kid's bound out of class we're looking forward to changing the tiers to spreading that lens and the expertise to the classroom teachers we have folks that hold expertise but have to translate

that so more teachers are the work in progress >> thank you very much. >> my last question from the data request what are we partnering with the city berry billing. >> all right. i'll take that one we partner with the partner they're a great partner we can do more lab ms. hester we do the internet but this year we expand that for your middle schools our middle schools are we actually have a partnership got special funding i don't know if i can disclosure that but special/14 by a partner each middle schools has a social media person that

gets a stipend all the middle students the goal to receive had hours of instruction thankful plotted out the lessons two staff members and myself haven't rolled it out a meeting in the next couple of days a plan to increase sixth focus on the middle schools. >> thank you very much. >> and just finally my data request obtain dressing it is new having all the piece in place i would like to see the correlations between the students with the dropout rates as well as graduation raised a true at the time of the success of this how many can i see had those interventions are able to

graduate and be successful so just in the future would love to see that data point. >> absolutely. >> before the superintendent makes remarks i know the commissioner vice president haney wanted to be here and thank everyone he was a strong force between behind the resolution and if not out of the country he definitely would have been here i want to communicate his thanks to our team. >> mr. superintendent. >> thank you president muirase i'm glad you mentioned commissioner vice president haney he's in all honesty, commissioner gordon's every now and then. >> i want to a thank achieve truit you can see assembled a wealth of knowing but talent in the district thank you for the work you're doing is the board

knows san francisco it would be the 6 district in 70 california it caught a waiver of no child left behind and a more brisbane way and it is 40 percent of our accountability system in the paftsz folks say why pay attention to this this is part of the work we do and you know having been a teacher for a decade i always know if a student it was not safe and secure in the classroom it didn't matter what to my skills were the student wouldn't learn this is a critically important role for the indicators with that, i want to make sure that an listening not as deeply involved in the work as described because of the questions we're asking and the presentation getting the wrong

impression we're looking for data to hold people accountable necessity not true weer saying we absolutely building that everyone in the classroom wants the best for your children every single day but folks need professional development and capacity building to be able to meet the challenging work of educating students in an urban environment that is san francisco we really approaching that work very much from a prospective to build capacity the fact we're partnering with ucsf and a f t around the maturing agreeable types of professional development speaks to the authenticity so i want to make sure we understand that is where we're going in terms of the coming attractions i want to paint the picture it is

important to understand the broader picture beyond the family support division so we absolutely are using data in a much more statistic way than before as we rolled out the student synergy our chief of the structural technology are working across the division to ramp of synergy to have a subpoena try to keep track of the data in the coming months and years we'll see us middle-income family as long as we have a laptop initiative last year the secondary indicators received a district issued devices this year we're getting our elementary schools teachers

with a device that gives the folks the technology to enter the technology it is important if you think back about the work that chief bryant and her team about the earliest years we're identify the early warning indicators that tliflz where we need to intervention at an early age to make sure the students have the support ms. only powerful if you have the data and accurate data to make the interventions as students move up we have indicators at every transition grade and think about the day the city of san francisco the voters of san francisco have voted to reauthorize our children's fund and our public education enrichment fund part of that infrastructure is our children and families we're working so closely with our city and county

partners based on oracles for the district our contribution is very clean and robust day we can identify students that not only are on our list of students we're providing additional information now partner with the eye arrangements with the city participates if in their involved with the city in any way, shape, or form we have a fuller picture of the students and not duplicating or being redundant so this in a long-winded way we're getting better at identifying our student and what the interventions and their research based and their professionally administered through our questions commissioners around specify kits of data the team is asking we're looking forward to

sharing that with the board of education and the communities i'll says that once again it is not booster full it is the reality i squall it like i see that san francisco is leading the country in that kind of approach for the entire child and because of people that are presenting here this evening because of the bold statement and policy position this board of education has taken you've given us the cover to go out and do the capacity but interrupting the pipeline trained that so many other cities are dealing with i want to thank the team and the boards for this important work. >> thank you mrvnt appreciate all our efforts. >> okay. that concludes item m and new m consent calendar resolution nun and item o votes on the consent calendar

it was moved and seconded. >> ms. casco and ms. chin. >> mr. tomato tar. >> commissioner fewer ms. mendoza-mcdonnell arrest moreno arrest plummeting your minnesota. >> dr. murase. >> you thank you very much we're on consent calendar resolution sound proof for board immediate action 3 items that were sound proof package 16, hundred 20 and h 24. >> so i sound proof k-11 and k 13 on packages hundred 16 and 130. >> i'm just announcing i'm not going to support those the partner we've chosen to work with i'm not happy with the acts of this partner and the school

district as built the exercise to assist our function internally and if we have to go outside there are other partners better suited so i don't intend to support either of those contracts. >> president muirase. >> thank you. i would have sound proof those two if to the sound proof by commissioner norton i've talked about this with the deputy stunt and a year ago we've raised those concerns i appreciate the memo but have concerns all to bring up so the one is that we so at this time i'd prefer to find a more

appropriate vendors maybe the community talk about the our concerns about this vendor particular but i also and particularly interested in that the whole board needs to talk about that at the time political acts we are taken here and objections to that some of us raised those questions there are seems to be a strong coincidence we have the same concerns about the actions taken at the time, however, while i - do not want staff to instruct people in the district to do something because think or a couple of members raised political concerns i think that my response to the memo that came to us was that at

the very least nothing has been said no school understand there is a concern that the government level i think that is not adequate i think that is something that the staff has a responsibility to wring up those concerns further i have to honestly say, i think that the explanation about the k 13 what which is in you read the memo that appears to say a bunch of school principals kind of just simultaneously decided to do this together so in terms of even though i don't think that was intentional to go against some of the concerns raised by board members this kind of thing a group put together from a number of schools requires the

central office facilitation it not only the individual schools but the administration in some form 0 done the line that mass ignored the concerns by the board and so i'm not going to be supporting this and hope you'll do a betters job in the future i'm okay to lose a vote but not okay for the concerns to be not aired and not followed up on as we asked them to be. >> superintendent. >> every year so thank you commissioner wynns i want to make sure we're clear that the boards did not circle address concerns of a pilot nature non-structural with our principal i take full

responsibilities with that said, the particularly vendors ensz in the k resolution has an about vendors we've had a prosperous relationship with well over 7 to 8 years with the central feature in our school improvements grants has helped to develop the capacity and services quite frankly without question very valuable to us i take full responsibility for that with that said, interests a number of capacity building activities that are take place in the middle schools and which middle schools in particular have identified a need to build air leadership teams and the organized is relying well sued for the development of the leadership team capability to move the structural programs for the schools those are site based

decision to the leadership teams are using the principal salesforce grant and using a small open on of that money mines that is more this year and a phasing out of next year i want to make sure with the principals are not involved i take full responsibility to the board i apologize if there was a congregation of a conversation that is not a conversation i was directed to have i want to clarify that for everyone. >> just for one second i do want to say i appreciate that and i do wanted to respectfully say that this an area i think cross the lines between instruction and governance we basically have a had a long term relationship

with an organization that we recommend to use startling and recommended to our schools as a school implements farther and that a member of the organizations thought a way to improve that to prioritize that and that's not purely on structural issue we need to talk about that. >> i have commissioner fewer and commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell and commissioner norton. >> thank you president muirase so when i'm landmarking this my questions is this vendor were they written into this grant we received so is it i mean they're not written into the grant you know so actually this grant

comic to any vendors. >> got it. >> so you know i think the commissioners turned out an interesting dialogue and conversation i'm sort of wondering if we don't have our own capacity in house to do this kind of work i feel like we've been working on this type of work and hired some of the best and brightest folks and folks have been doing this type of works in previous positions we've not been doing this for awhile do we have a in house capacity it is better to do it in house there is sustainability and people with the grant is up you can refer back to or they know the historic context of the school although i'm not going to oppose this but i would really

like it to be deputy superintendant to really talk about maybe looking at about developing ore own expertise we done fabulous work i think the restraint says wear leading the nation in much of the work we've been actively working this kind of work in schools and getting good results bayshore around this type of work i'm encouraged us to look at more in house and this type of vendor actively my person opinion this vendor may side very, very good work but needs to understand that also, if you voice something piloting that is not aligned or offends members of the board we're the

ones that sign off on the budgeted i budget we're the ones that do the hire and still in favor in favor of i have no problem with the work but hope we can actually have our own in house folks i think we learn it is sort of building also a capacity in leadership with in our district we can always use and draw from i'll encourage us to do that so thank you. >> superintendent carranza. >> thank you president muirase we're happy with the capacity we're building across the district i mentioned a release moderately for that reason we're building our capacity, however, i'll be remiss if i didn't

mention this particular year we have ambitious plans for the teachers to build capacity we choose to make sure that teachers stayed in classrooms position because of the teacher shortage and our goals of having the classrooms staffed maybe an opportunity we're able to identify some new hires that some people will be able to be released into those positions to support this continued development it definitely on our radar to build the support to our teachers we're absolutely on the same page with you. >> commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell and . >> i want to respect or my colleagues positions that was not my experience with partners

in school innovation i wanted to talk about a capacity of the partners that was the whole idea of bringing up them into our schools i've been you know deeply combaemdz that the middle schools work because of the large grant we've received and principal after principal have really embraced with partners has done in their schools and in some of the most challenging schools through their support they've felt confidence they've seldom gotten the opportunity to make decisions around how to as a very generous hundred thousand dollars towards what is important for their schools i think the demonstration there are multiple schools that wanted to do the training that t s i

provides is important to acknowledge i wanted to caution us on making judgements an organization that have interacted our schools because something was said by a staff member or ed who should comfortable be able to support things we don't necessarily agree or disagree with that's part of our process i think i worry about shutting organizations that can't support different things that are happening in the district we don't always agree on things happening in the district that sets an odd precedence o

precedence because of political reasons because of the work they do for the children in our schools alongside our teachers and so this is a little bit disturbing to me that that is how we're coming at this so i want eventually have their work make in their imprint and saying as the superintendent planted but continue to keep their capacity building in the trust they've betsy carmichael with our schools intact as long as our schools ask for it. >> if this is no further comment i'd like to take the roll call vote on the two sound proof items. >> ms. chin

mr. at that time, other ms. fewer. >> ms. norton. >> no. >> mr. walton. >> ms. wynns. >> no. >> president muirase. >> 5 i's 4 i's excuse me. >> there is other item that was sound proof ms. wynns. >> i didn't see mr. walton's appointment we received an e-mail about this i don't read until you were here but i do want to say this i appreciate the e-mail and the explanation about the reduce amount i wanted to say my concerns about the total amount of money on translations remain bus i don't i haven't received the kind of data i've asked for about about

the specification the cost benefit analysis data, the data within of the not this contract but the last time we voted on one of those we were told that one of the barriers to using our own staff and adequately hiring for the multiply i e p i've asked for data could i see if that is happening in the languages because the numbers we were suggested seem very, very high about the same language going on at the same time and i understand the specific expertise how much do we need trarptsdz that needs to be done

by sitting down and talking to people thank you for staying since our presentation all the information i think so a great deal of work i appreciate is coming through chief truit i think i need the opportunity to explore this beyond it and have concerns just a lot of money thank you. >> commissioner fewer with the increase in the 504s does it require a translation thing on the form is there an increase in cost that that. >> if parents of a child with a 504 plan requested translation absolutely that requires transcriptions as angie p

requires translation and commissioner i'll look at the data that we've sent you before and i know that was kind of unfinished we started data analysis and went into the fiscal year analysis we came up with that reduction it is our best estimate but you and i can look at the numbers with melanie and lae man he's been crutching numbers constantly that's how we arrived i apologize that e-mail went to you so late melody remind me, you sent the translation message i said no so i apologize for that not coming to - >> understand how much work you were doing i'm going to vote for this i think we need to explore

that further and more kind of grand last year issues not only the number but what is happening in the meetings or the requirements we had the issue about certain things were translated and needs to be translated over and over again. >> we're still having this conversation with legal. >> thank you. >> ms. casco roll call vote on the separate arre last year ms. chin. >> commissioner fewer matt haney berkley and mr. walton and dr. murase. >> 6. >> thank you we're now on item q superintendents proposals first reading one 58 revision to the boards

that politics happen this is a bill we've earned up which we thought was more possible and seemed to be and did go introduce committee and -- excuse-me. was pass by the senate but by the full senate it changed the reserve cap to which we've obtained to 17 percent hard cap is okay for us and also redefined or more clearly defined what is funds could be in that reserve to take away some of the confusion about funds we have allocated for other purposes like facilities funding etc. so also exempts and small districts is basically the gay

district so we are now i have to report what the committee this when they meet the bill was not in written form it actually was written or caught the next day so what the committee and if you recall the district as on record of being some for the that was the repeal the committee said they wanted the staff to analyze the language and if synagogue if that to which the staff felt was a problem and met the principles we'll take the supports position i spoke to mr. davis one-half put that supports here's the problem while in the passed out of the senate and went to the assembly where assemblyman congressmen part of bio authors it is referred to the rules committee a potential just for

generosity we have an ice machine that's it for new. >> thank you very much ms. casco. >> and superintendmt carranza. >> thank you president muirase so i appreciate you letting me make this announcement several commissioners made mention in their. >> announcements about the encourages stance the board of education supporting the students with the diplomas and join any voice in commending the legislation it is your and good afternoon for seeing none, the bill it is an equality for our students, however, there's been on sloth of questions come about me, too boards action last friday was very clear that was for the class of 2015 so while there are many students that we understand have been effected in previous

classes this only pertains to the class of 2015 the additional question everything there are a number of students when the board act on the friday evening hundred and 7 students completed all their requirements minus one or more sections the cahsee the data shows a number of students finished in december of 2013-2014 finished in december and not enrolled because they were finished only waiting to take the cahsee we've identified those students approximately thirty to 40 more students we're up to a grand total off hundred and 50 students that will get their diploma the high schools have the list of the students that have been certified and implemented minus the cahsee i want to give a shout out to the

counsels and administrators they're contacting the students from their schools and contacting them and letting them know congratulations you've graduated and come and get our diploma for everyone that is calling us am i part of that group rests assured we'd like to contact you or contact the school you last attended but we'll contact those students and thank you to bill sanderson we're decision with the com rate ceremony and being sure that the public is aware again another reason we should be so proud of the work in san francisco i was jokingly when the governor was going to do sign this legislation i know somebody has

to go first, as we said san francisco often goes first when it comes to lgbtq students and same-sex marriages and equality in your math education and many issues san francisco goes first and here's another one of the firs we should be very, very proud of and to all the graduates graduations commissioner wynns i'm in the me three i've gotten notes from school board members can you send up e us what you did from oakland from a board members that asked whether this we knew how this might effect students in the military and other things and so i'm interested i epic we've railway had students from

middle school to hopefully i don't encourage that i understood that the united states militaries had actually mentioned high school in their requirements not just the diplomas i don't know that is true and we've decided private universities and we believe that private universities don't care but if anyone has information about the research since we get inquires about others post secondary tints besides the public of the united states in california i'd like to have that when 33 people ask me. >> commissioner fewer. >> yes. so while he congratulate the board and superintendents and our graduates i can't help but think this is a shame that we cannot

three or four years and give them all diplomas i don't believe that is the task that you should get a high school diploma the parts this summer is a legal basis for us to do what we did on a moral and ethical basis we meet august as a boards the high school did not - it is not an indicator of whether or not a student should get a diploma when and a half finished all the course work they can't say pass one part of the test so if we're going to be the ferries on many things i don't know how to be the first in this but - if you are a board wanting i know your name is on the certifies of

diplomas tests a hearts breaker a big stack of those students that please let us all requirements with passing graze they couldn't pass one portion of that exam so i don't know if so this the next step for this brought but if we could dos do something i whole harvard ports that it is wrong that all the hundred and hundred and hundreds of students not able to get a diploma even though they've gotten all the course work done. >> commissioner walton. >> ditto. >> i have another question i'll be interested to know about that, too but further action by

the but i appreciate you said about the students that completed everything else he asked the question whether we're going to look at the students that left school because they didn't think they were going to make it because of not pca the cahsee especially, if they left school last year, i decided this and, in fact, the principal i appreciate the principals and assistant principals say really you did that how do we know who they are are and in case they read the paper but most of them don't live here; right? >> but i have we done anything about the students in that category. >> thank you commissioner wynns

our staff continues to scrub the listed those are sometime of the more difficult cases because again, it depends upon looking at who was enrolled and not enrolled and do a analysis of the transcripts i suspect that anyone that falls within the class of 2013-2014 within that year academic year we'll look at every single student and determine that. >> 2014-2015 i'm sorry yes 2014-2015 so, yeah believe me we are really, really interested in look at every single student. >> all right. we're at item t report of closed session action nun other annexes post in the agendas a staff reports on the informational clarified transactions a finally this

citizen i'm a riechlt lifetime giants fan i inherited through any fathered that as a san francisco giants fan for the first time in the history of the program the state of california has edged out there under to be the number one state in the country for internet essential sign united parcel service (clapping.) so more than 70 thousand families or more than 2 hazmat and 80 low income californians are connected to the internet as a result of internet essentials in the green bay area we have more 23 thousand families or $90,000 low income residents who have been connected introduce this program so congratulations to all of you who help to make that happen and if i can i'll not introduce everybody that was introduced but a special thanks

to hanging who drives this program from the prospective of comcast and hanging perceptive to our leadership not only of that bringing but it is a pleasure to come out and see you today so thank you hanging and the team (clapping.) nationally in just four years we've connected more than 5 hundred thousand families within 2 hundred low income americans many for the first time in their lives that put prospective around that 2 million people is larger than the population of 96 of the hundred largest cities in america and in fact, the double the size of the entire population of city government and larger in an the population of 14 difference states in america we're clearly beginning to make an impact in closing the

digital defied i've talked about 3 announcements i want to reference them first of all, we have begun doubted the internet serves so we started this program at 1 and a half meg to 3 to 5 and now to 10 and we're doing that at no additional charge to existing and new customers of internet essentials second we also have announced that effective males we're providing a free wifi routerer to all internet essential customers you'll have the ability to assess your internet service at home (clapping.) there wifi. >> for existing customers all have to you do all the toll-free number we're send you a routerer and new customersblast will get

the modem no charge for the routerer no mobile charging no contract a service charge if you need help there are a few things in life that are really free, free wifi as part of your service (clapping.) and so third and this is a little bit complicated let me take a minute one of the goals to make it easy for people to sign up for the service most families that have children eligible for the lunch program is that we choose that we have to verify that eligibility and that's a bit of a cumbersome so a while going ago we constituted a rule if your child gos to a

school where 80 percent of the kids are eligible to participate in a low income we'll say they're eligible for our program last year, we reduced it to 70 percent so if you're at a city hall 80 percent of the kids are eligible for the free lunch program your eligible for the essentially of not eligible for the lunch program we've lowered it to 50 percent 20 thousand schools in the comcast footprint in this country where ever we can student in that school a eligible to participated in the program regardless of them themselves are eligible for that the national school almost program instead of a clumsy third party verification all you have to do is proof give us a

copy of a report card a class schedule a letter from the principle inviting you back to school we'll take anything that says you go to that school we'll count that as a qualification for eligibility under the program so that's this is all part of commitment to maintain the momentum and a continue to sign people up i'm proud personally and everyone in the company this would not have happened without the support of literally thousands of nonprofits governmental, library, faith based on community partners who have joined arm and arm with us to make that program such a success one the commitments to our partners has been we want their input both this program what is working not working, how do we make it better and easier

once 24 program got traction the number one thing a everywhere heard from the nonprofit partners would you be willing to expand the eligibility of the program beyond the families with school age children for those you have by way of thank you to all the consumers of this center for joining us today but those who wonder why we're standing in a senior center to talk about a program connecting children and low income families with school aged children to the internet our patience is about to the awarded the number one population is whether we consider expanding the guilty to low income seniors that is a complicate population what we've decided to do and what we've decided to side launch a handful

of programs to standing extends those to a low income population and the city of san francisco is one of the pilots that's what we're announcing today (clapping.) over the last decade senior citizens or low income have adapted broadband at a particular low rate carbon dioxide to research only thirty thousand seniors have broadband assess at home 82 percent of seniors with incomes above 70 thousand there's is where in the wooektd but have access to the internet at home 60 percentage point digital

divides we're step up to the plate that to low income senior citizens i'll remind everyone all around the cry that is still to the a complete understanding the number one barrier to broadband option is not the cost of the internet service it is not even the cost of the equipment or the lack of the equipment those are factors but the number one barrier to broadband adaptation is a bufshlth of digital literary and relevancy people without the internet don't understand the importance or or relevant they are afraid of it don't know how to use a computer those issues are acute among senior citizens other pew research concluded 18 percent of seniors surveyed will feel comfortable using the

internet on their own while 77 perris said they'll need anyone's hope to assess the internet so what we know from your 4 years of experience is that having a press conference and issuing a press release and making high-speed available is not going to close the digital divide among the seniors we need to create a digital training program which we're going to side in in conjunction with a new web of nonprofit partners and governmental partners so your model quite frankly is in san francisco question partnered about self-help for the elderly to ether training close for seniors that work together in our comcast workers program in florida the other pilot program

we've announced for a lot of seniors in palm beach there are a lot of low income seniors in the county we had a meeting with the faucets i recently met with the president of that local urban league and with a number of seniors that participated in a digital literacy training program we put together with that urban league the president's said teaching the seniors to use the internet is like teaching a new language in twauk the seniors i learned something in a powerful way through providing digital literacy training and computer assess and computers to those seniors we've opened a new window in your world and enabled them to connect to their friends and service provides and families in. >> way they never imagined would be possible

and it is it's different than children who quite frankly know the internet better than their parents do and understand the power of the intersected in low income senior population is a population that we are literally opening a new visit to the number one issue to elderly is isolation of seniors our ability to use the internet to reduce that isolation and maintain connectivity it going to do more in my view to impact the quality of life for low income seniors citizens then imagine we can provide as a solution to the problems of seminar isolation so because i do work for a video company we have produced a short video staring some of our local partners in palm beach county

i'd like to show you to get a first hand sense from the seniors about the power of the internet for a low income senior population. >> keyword. >> come on. >> for seniors to have access to the internet is essential without that their left behind and this community in west florida many people are haitian and jamaicans it costs them nothing you are to have internet. >> i use my digital connect for friends and families and i have a friend in jamaica i think it is great you, you hear about the

internet because most computation is done by internet now i remember when i used to write letters or send cards we don't do that anywhere. >> when it comes to seniors and the internet there their r all afraid like a giant monster it is really not. >> i'm leon to go on the internet i was totally grntd i'm learning to lose the fair market price i'll get all around to use it if i had the internet i could side lots of things to keep me win my home and even pay my bills and lots of things if i had the internet that is more than i ever thought it means so much to me. >> it changes everyone not just

seniors and kids it can change all lives comcast brings that is where he can't two their home at a minimal cost it is about chief financial officer their lives. >> so (clapping.) i have to tell you talking to this group of seniors po who literally 6 months before i met them never touched a computer and have hearing what we were doing with the computer and with internet service in their homes as impactful a personal

experience as any thoughts incredible experiences i've had talking to parents and their children about access to the internet one of the greatest enemies i was talking to the structure how are those women doing he said mr. cohen they're doing great in fact i've asking them to be trainers for any neck class of seniors and the look the smile on those women's faces the happiness and the realization they actually had progressed far enough they'll be able to teach their friends and colleagues how to use is internet was priceless this is part you talk about an unintended consequence of digital literacy training the sense ever work those women could help to bring the same

opening of the world to their friends and anothers in the community that had been brought to them was amazing we're incredibly excited to work with our friends and partners in san francisco on this pilot i want to thank all the elected officials your nonprofit partners especially want to thank the mayor katie and please appreciated our being here your acting in ac an acting mayor capacity the mayor and i have known each other for a long time we choose san francisco because of the marries dedication to closing the digital divide one of the few marries in the country focusing on the low income seniors working with the mayor and supervisors, with the department of angling and the robust nonprofits that focus on

the senior community i have no dough san francisco will be the ultimate pilot project for us it will show how we can make that work and better and how we can role it out to the rest of the country over time so thank you all thanks for joining us i looked forward as i threaten i'll look forward to reporting on the success of this program the bay area is a spectacular place to roll out the program and many more years of success thank you. >> (clapping) >> thank you. >> thank you, mr. coning i think we've heard that before what happens in san francisco so goes the rest of the country so today, we're joined by that and leader of the beautiful city and county of san francisco david mention her worked on a number of
