chase i feel strongly that my daughters will attend the same program that will help her emotional development and with the negative impact we know that studies have shown that in the same program allows for unfrathd and studies have shown that the development associated with academic performance i mean, i'll seen this as a child therapist and the soda realty that responsibility between two or three programs can force parents at times to choose between children at those schools and the dynamic is comparable to managing children in a divorce with fragmented family events and fragmented

experiences and put a constrain and stress on families leading to emotional setbacks and connective sdruchz keeping the kids together will allows the families to share the experience in strengthening the family bond and creating closer reps and stronger families equal programs i believe in single priorities we cultivated we moved and invested in to be committed to get into that neighborhood choosing a program is not just a come down it is a family commitment and family investment thank you . >> (clapping.) >> >> (speaking foreign

of his brother and fields trips and watched his brother's to do hig his homework therefore would have been confused if he keep a look out get enrolled in the same program compared to adults children are might suspect their older brothers and sisters not welcomed by schools i have heard that some of kids amongst those who have not been selected when i this program knew they were often not selected by the program on this account this is very important to help all the students obtain the opportunity to get into the same program and in order to help children to

is the situation where most of us students are in the depict we don't get the opportunity for fresh organic food a dire need we've worked with the farms to - who else tie and others businesses the businesses that wanted to work with us to have sustainable in your and education and know how the food works within the nation i really want a strong support for this policy that is a dire need and my kids in the student council have needed this policy that is some that is crucial we eat the food and make sure what we're eating is good and not your money going to the companies they don't care about the people their workers and others harmed by pesticides we

spur i'm here in support of the resolution we've written the ability of public agency for the procurement to do lost the benefits on health and sustainability and local grown food the district made great strides you know about that in improving the quality of food served to students i even this is an extension of this work i thought glad to hear in the staff they supported this resolution in purchasing and to three and four smokeless a great partnership what the staff putting in the time to get the data from the vendor obligate food purchasing is a useful framework to examine the upstream of the purposes and can point the district to improvement and give us a sense and have a conversation where

looks at a lot of different indications you've heard that b and echo this will put san francisco unified school district in the leadership across the country alter looking at this sort of policy and i hope that actually, the hospitals and jails here in san francisco follow the school district leads i'll support the resolution thank you. >> comments or confesses from the board. >> you need a report and sure. >> report from wasn't expecting that i thought we got it at spreadsheet. >> identify got a report my apologies on giving it again but i'm giving it again for for those of you who don't know the budget committee heard this may 4 and the budget impact of this resolution basically is zero and we gave it a positive

recommendation. >> thank you complinz thank you. i'm glad we're doing this a few years ago we attempted to do some standard putting it in the policy in the nutrition policy - but i think what we see is sort of a program already in place for what we were unwillingly to do where - so i'm interested in how we'll monitor so we'll see particularly because this is was very important, important the advocates two particularly we eye members for the food so we'll have them make sure that we change or modify the standards we have in the contract a way to follow this policy and i'm saying that when

we come up with that i'd like to get a process report on what regulations we'll put in place and how to monitor them and on this will include a way to get periodic report not every product but want to know there is a way to monitor the compliance for some periodic update and i'm supportive of this and glad we're doing it finally. >> commissioner norton and commissioner. >> thank you i see a piece in the audience i had a quick question more of an implementation question we actually have adopted the standards but i'm just wondering i mean so many of our vendors use the compromised food credit have not usda and any anyone

doing any work with the usda maybe some of our representatives organizations on how the usda can encourage the kind of food purposing san francisco police department it seems to me so many programs like ours rely on commody - i don't know what the outcomes we evaluate against the commody

purposes the commodities with aligned with the nutrition i feel as a district with the nutrition guidelines i'm hopeful that we've matching well with the philosophy and hopefully with the metrics yank if this answers our question. >> maybe some kind of a thought. s f da to really seems like if this is a great direction for the entire school lunch program should be moving in so a larger policy issue i wonder if we did any thinking and the other question for you when - i mean when is a good time to come back to the board to give us a sort of progress report on what - where it stand like commissioner

wynns when step one phase one is done when we think that will happen and get a progress report interesting to do how against the standards >> so i don't have a resolution in front of the me apologize i like the way it put temps which within 3 months and 6 months and a year and what was so the assessment to be completed workplace a year and thank you building on commissioner wynns questions or comments earlier absolutely coming back to the board and giving you an update is key part we've begun the work with revolution foods and have started work with the good foods procurement and the partners on this have begun to share the process we'll use to evaluate

the tools and stuff like that so at each step in the resolution we'll share updates with the board. >> in the resolution i'm sorry it says that the progress of board of education within 12 months of adoption of this resolution and report announcing on the progress but also a six months sort of benchmark of what that might be good a good time maybe in six months and annua y annually. >> thank you this is an important step forward i'll be supporting it. >> commissioner fewer. >> yes. thank you 0 i'd like to thank the sisters

for bringing this to me and being a partner on the school district has little authority over far-reaching purview but the procurement dollars to have an effect on you know nutrition, the environmental sustainability, the workforce and local communities and animal welfare this is our responsibility to step up and do this i'll encourage also anyone from the city if you're looking at your procurement dollars we should expand to city college who i sent is it resolution and also think the city and county of san francisco could implement some of the changes with the procurement dollars to really support what we believe i think as an institution but also as a

society here in san francisco i urge my colleagues to pass this thank you. >> vice president walton. >> thank you president haney i want to thank commissioner fewer for taking the lead and our supporters that came out this is good policy i believe always try to find reasons for, etc. but i think this is one of those times we can agree we'll be doing some things that vital for all of us thank you for coming out and i'm excited about supporting this resolution. >> i also want to thank you to the gratitude for especially the teamsters i know were very critical in bringing this forward and the leadership of commissioner fewer that was the lead on this and grateful to be a co-author reads this term

values of purchase small, medium, and large semieverything should have our value that is redundant and everything at school district think about the educators in terms of practicing what we preach and living the values that is an opportunity to spent a lot of money on food and everything it goes along with that in a sustainable way that respective labors and animals and respect the environment and here tonight to how important for our students the roll i hope we gave me them i know i want to thank the educator that came from mission high school and the educators are goidoing that to involve them and commissioner fewer not just take this is as a

standard that perhaps other school districts can adopt and the city but look to other parts of the spending to think about green purchasing or volumes throughout all the work that we do as a district not only in the food program but to i think fuss it and think about how to expand and absolutely and i think he had to leave but especially thank mr. vega to share his experience and stories we never want to p to be a subtracting that type of activity with our dollars so if this policy helps us not do that and insure that thing is not happening we're doing the right thing and we're proud to support it oh. >> president haney one note commissioners please note that the department of the environment has written a letter

of support but they give a list of recommendations to take it further so eliminating i think the antibiotics and extend to beef and pork and reduce of overall package and good ideas and things like that products i'm thinking that i look forward to this letter of recommendations we could consider those to take it a step further and want to say i expend this board for being the first in the nation leading the nation again really reliving the legacy of san francisco that he that are first, we're first to do the things that are right. i hope we pass this is a board. >> thank you commissioner. >> commissioner. >> i request we're pga this i want to have my name on this and
