[applause] >> gladiators! alright! thank you very much for inviting me to join your administration here and students. how is everybody today? welcome back >> student school. little late but bebeening of school time and didn't think you know you would have friends from san francisco visiting here. glad to be here and school board members to join. elected

officials to joun your elected officials. when i see and look around and see the people i can stand with, wow, it is amazing. you know that congresswoman barbara lee? she is my sister! she my sister! we belong to the same family association. that's right. all of us in elected office generally speaking i think there are moments in our time when we are struggling with a lot of decisions we have to make, but those moments where collaboration of many groups of people whether they are resident, parents, school board members, principles, teachers, advocates and kids, we all come together and make a decision together about what is good and

when we make a decision that involves our business community, those are great moments. and today, is one of those great moments because we get to share with you something that we have been doing in the city of san francisco about 3 years. we got to work-first of all, if you know one of our companies in san francisco called sales force one of the most successful technology comps companies in the city and whole region. yes, world wide. they do something in the clouds. about 4 years ago, mark [inaudible] sat down with me and asked me a question that i will never ever forget. you ever have those times where people ask a question and say i didn't know they cared that much. he asked me what do i really want to do, not what i'm obligated to do and having to

do every day. fill pot holes and headache sure people are safe and make sure people get jobs and housing. what do you really want to do. in that couple hours conversation in his house and joined by lynn [inaudible] because she is a big heart in san francisco. thank you lynn. he asks me what do you really want to do and i got me to thinking, i got a good education growing up and people helped me along to get me a very good solid foundation in education, i think that when youth and families succeed in our cities, our cities succeed. talking about both oakland and san francisco. we began on the path of what really was important to me and i think the best education publicly that we can provide for our kids and familys is the think thing i

want to get and really most important. in that conversation, we identified and got in with school board member hide rumendoza and others to talk. hid ruis here and is my liaiz on through the school. board. richard [inaudible] our super intendant who is wide open with ideas how to help our schools and look at data and said, schools like yours today right here, frick impact academy, middle schools is where we were most challenged so we began the middle school initiative and had the conversation and made investment, 4th year, 3 years later we got millions of dollars invested but much morethen am money is the collaboration with the

principles because i want them to not have to reach into their own pockets. three years ago no middle school in san francisco was wifi. can you believe that? we had to correct that. we had to get tablets and training stof the teachers and had to do it in a way where the teachers said, mayor lee recollect what are you doing? you are not trying to take over the schools are you? no, i'm trying to help the kids and families in our schools and the only way i can see forward in how to do it in the claberate thing is to say, what would bring each teacher and principle back to their very first year they decided to go into public education. because there are other reasons not to and sometimes

those reasons pop up every day. too challenging and people not paying attention and the state and cutting luft and right. if we listen to every principle and all the teachers in the middle school tell us what they needed to be successful help the kids advance and list toon the super intentdant what the data is telling us. math and science. by the way, the jobs just a few years athround corner, depend you have a better stem education. science, technology, engineering, math. so, all of that catalyst comes and 4 years later our 8 graders are performing the bestz and the urban school district is the best. our middle grade teachers and principles are at the top of the their feeling and they feel it. they feel

it. [applause]. this is something we got to share with oakland. because if oakland succeeds san francisco succeeds tooment it happens both ways. we are not a island in the city, we are a regional partnership. barbara knows thatd, congresswoman lee knows that. we as elected officials know that. this investment is more than the money, it is about believing in our kids and as i share with your mayor, because what companies like sales force want to really do is be more than just a successful company, they want to be partners with government. partners with parents. partners with other companies. partners with the school district because we want to not find our talent, we want to grow our talent. and your growing as a talent we'll recruit from each and all of

you, you will be talent i'm looking for. we are look frg a police chief, a fire chief, a department head or ceo, or any of the great jobs that you can think of, you're the talent pool we want to invest in and you're our investment. i want to say that is how we approached this middle grades initiative that now today we get to wonderfully share with the city of oakland and want to take the opportunity to introduce you to your own mayor, someone who is tremendous colleague of mine and inspired me in san francisco to do better and that is of course, mayor libby schaaf. [applause] >> oh, wow! now, i am so proud

to be the mayor of my home town, oakland california! and in honor of sales force, we did something in oakland we don't usually do, we ordered clouds. get it? cloud computing. joke. [laughter] mayor lee brought his weather with him from san francisco. seriously, i'm so excited to be the mayor of your city, of your city. frick students. let me talk in very clear specifics about what is happening today because i want you all to remember this day. sales force is supporting the san francisco public schools for 3 years now. this is their 4th year. but this is

the first year, the first year they have brought that support to oakland as well. [applause] when i say support, do you all like money over here, young people? [cheers] when i say support, i'm talking about 2 and $2 and a half million 2 and $2 and a half million. [applause] and i just want to recognize that is on top of some personal support that mark and lynn have been generously giving to this community and particularly its children. i want to recognize the head of our incredible ucsf childrens hospital in oakland burt lubeen is in the house and also the generous gift to the brilliant

baby strategy of the oakland [inaudible] i will talk about in a second. what has the $2.5 million done it allowed us to reach 4 times as many public school student with computer science instruction. it is allowing us to bring this very innovative program called, blue print that will be give small group instruction to bust out your math skills. anyone have mad love for math over here? [applause] i love people that have smart at math. it will also give mrs. ruby who i heard made a big impression at mark's house when you came, it kill give her a innovation fund. because she is innovative and we trust her to just do great things with it. i want to be

clear, this level of support is not just for frick, it is also going to benefit brett heart middle school, life academy and colosseum college prep academy in oakland. [applause] the last thing that this investment is doing is opening our first oakland promise middle school fuch were centers. [applause] i have here two of our fabulous ambassadors for the oakland promise, valen tina and cynthia adams from naacp. the oakland promise-i want you to know about this because you are the first been fish areas of this.

we know this will triple the number of oakland student who graduate from college prepared for the career of your dream jz don't do this like other programs programs like a college scholarship. we create a college bound culture from the moment you are born. from had moment you start kindergarten. we will give college savings accounts at the earliest years but we need to touch young people at critical moment of lives to tell them we expect you to finish high school and to finish college. we are here to put our money where our mouths are and say, we will provide you with the resources to do that, with the skills to do that. your whole community is behind your achievement here in oakland. [applause] so i want you to

know this man right here, he created a great company but he knew it was important to give back and so because of his sales force, not only are we quadrooping the number of students getting computer science instruction we up the mact sfruckz and opening our first fuper centers in the middle school frz oakland promise. these are career and college hubs where student get to tour colleges and find out about thaur options. why you need to stay and do well in school because of the fantastic future that is in front of you. alright. now, i also just want to recognize that this is part of a new regionalism movement. now, i want you to remember this day not because of $2.5 million, you need to also remember it because more valuable than the $2.5 million

hch what is more valable than money? love is more valuable than money and more valuable than $2.5 million is sales force employ ease will give you 20 thousand hours of volunteer time. [applause] nothing is more valuable than that. i want to give a quick shout to the oakland police department mentors who are meantering in this school. that is love. i want to give a shout out to one of your most distinshuished alumni, a tony, tony, tony fan, mr. dewayne wigans the house and graduate of frick. if there is one thing to remember we can accomplish great things when we work together so you heard mayor ed lee talk about

industrial revolution going on and that is why we are giving another 8 and $8 and a half million and it is all most $25 million to the schools. it is really just the beginning.

[applause]. and so as we are planning this, it has been a pleasure to have these great

principles of oakland like dee tie and all the great principles of san francisco coming together, sharing best practices and saying we can work together to create better schools and that is what this is all about. so, it is another step on the journey that is what is exciting and think everyone add soles force knows how committed we are and this program is very successful. the test scores in san francisco are up, attendance rates are up, am idal schools are stronger than ever and that is what weit is all about and do the same in oakland and we are deeply committed to all of you and deeply grateful to everyone who came. thank you for being here and can't be more excited to take the great next step for all these great schools. thank you. [applause] >> thank you mr. been off, mark, thank you for your

commitment. my name is [inaudible] serve as super intendant of san francisco unified. superinant [inaudible] i was making sure you are paying attention. just making sure. we don't have a rap for you. check out this rap, so 3 years ago, this industry leader came to us and said, we are going to tell you what you are going do and give you funding for it. what he did is went to the principles and our mayor and to super intendant and sat and said what do you want to do. the outcome is you have to be the best school district in theination what does it take to get there and it was a conversation that developed and we are so forninate that we now in year 4 of our relationship and partnership with sales force and by a long shot, one the

best parts of that relationship is our sales force employees that spend time in the schools and classrooms. all of the students here today, and i want you to listen to this for a minute. when the going gets tough and you think why am i in school i want you to look at super intendant wilson. i want you to look at super intend of san francisco because i look like some of you. [speaking spanish] i didn't speak english either and now we get to do this thing be super intend squnts educators. look at your mayor who didn't grow up in a silver spoon and community advocate and congresswoman. we want you to to center what we didn't have. i have one more day on the job so i can say this, what mr. ben off and sale

force is doing is change california education because until the state ofical considers public education as a investment rather than a expense, think about that, rather than a expense we have to do but think of public education in the investment in the future workforce and technology of our great state, until they do that and think about that you will have luminaries like mark ben off and others that say we get the bigger picture. by our very very humble investment we will allow you-let me tell you what happened in san francisco, we developed a pre-k 12 computer [inaudible] you will hear talking about kindergarten code, we want computer science because that is who mr. ben off

will hire. computer scientist who can apply the math and science. we reduced class sizes and bring parents together and able to createi labs, the principles who is leading a revolution in a middle school, the namesake of which gets me shokeed up, martin luther king middle school principle michael [inaudible] they pooled their money in in the private industly you can be innovative and some work and some don't work. in public education because hof the scrutiny and accountability for the public dollar we don't get to try thing jz say they won't work. bhaut this investment has done is given the principles and community the tublt try stuff out and when they tried stuff out lots worked. the innovation lab and maker spaces

and pooling the money and creating welcome centers. creating classes student can take internship jz go into the workforce and see i can do this work too. i 92 ed to apply myself in school. that is the game changer for us and here to tell you my brother jz sister in oakland, there is no way we can be successful in san francisco if you are not absolutely hitting it out of the park in oakland. we are with you and we already collaborated on our common core math implementation and doing things better, we are diagnose things different and where across the state of california people say what are the people in oakland and san francisco doing with math instruction. we have the proof that it is actually teaching kids at a higher deeper level so take that. [applause] more than anything, what i want to say to all you here and especially mr.

beenoff because you don't find corporate philanthropy that takes time to listen, i want to say thank you for listening and investing in our future, thank you for investing in those people that come to work every day with nothing but the best intentions for rour o urxhern rchlt my brother from another mother, super intendant an twaun wilson. he knows where you have been and will show you where you can go. my last comment before i turn it over to the man the hour because we are in his house. thank you an twaun for inviting us in your district. i want to introduce interim super intendant [inaudible] thank you for stepping up and taking on the responsibility for us. [applause]. in case you want today know, he is also related to congresswoman lee and mayor

lee. just spells the name a little differently. it soofamily affair here. i want to say oakland stay strong, stay proud and stay learnen and san francisco like tony bennett said, you know where my heart is. here is super intendant an twaun wilson. give it up, this is your super intendant. let's hear it! >> good afternoon frick impact academy. how are you doing today? i will tell you i will be brief. i know that will help you. i know you are excited to go back to doors and get to learning. i want to say a few thank yous. i want to appreciate marx and sales force and all the employees. you can be doing anything but you chose to invest in oakland and be here and be support said for our students and examples for the students. thank you. it

makes a trumendss difference in the district. i appreciate the mayor and city. i it think is important it the future the city rests in the young people and investzment in young people. it is important to actually act that out and have the mayor invest in oakland promise and say do everything we can from the moment young people are born to the moment they get a successful career. that is putting the actions with the lip service and say we believe it can happen and we will do something about it. the mayor has invested and raised money and had council members do the same. appreciate our school board. school board saying we want to do more. what we have been doing isn't good enough. we are pleased with the fact we made progress we need to go faster. we need to do more which means prur sue every opportunity and this is making

sure student have access to the best that is available. it is really exciting to hear mark say we want to make sure there is among the best districts in the wrurld because that is exactly what we need if we provide young people with the opportunity to be successful. i want to appreciate the school leaders because after my conversation with mark he asked to speak to school leaders and i knew when he met the school leaders he would see this is a place to invest and leaders and talented and believe in the young people. they are also leading a group of teachers, educations and want to appreciate the teachers. both for your rapping skills [applause] and also what you do every day coming in and making a difference for your young people. i was here before the start the school year before you were here getting ready for

the start of the school year and appreciate that. just a fewthis i want to share and turn to impact and that is real numbers. we talked about computer science, the impact, it is making a differerance and important to understand this, to do well in computer science you need to not be afraid and step into the classroom and raise your hand and not with aeroeif you have the answer correct and say this is what i think the answer is and why i think it st. the answer. in order to do that you have to have investment and support. in oakland, this year, going from this year to last year to this year, we have 2853 secondary students enrolled in computer science. laest year there was 685. [applause] what this investment will do is help accelerate that number because investment in middle schools.

this year middle school 621 student enrolled in computer science, 4 times the number of last year so excited about tha. that will allow the investment in the schools to accelerate the work and we want the outcomes sf has seen. increased graduation and achievement and see the student graduate and go to college so take advantage of the center up stairs and the tutoring here and to help you tutoring model it says the tutoring parents pay for we want to provide in the school day and that is what had is happening in at frick. as i close i want to say this, if we are successful and take the vest ment in young people. investment of time and dollars. it takes individuals willing to say i will do more and i will get involved. what i would hope will happen is the people come and see the enthusiasm and take a tour and see what is happening and visit

others school and say we want to make sure california with super intendant [inaudible] i appreciate richard so much because he is a tremendous collaborator and sf. we want to make sure what he said is true and that is that, the whole state sees investment in education as its responsibility. among the top per capita countries and nations in the state. there is no way we should be in the bottom states in education funding and this investment here is a a example saying this is what we do to change that. thank you. [applaus

with the increase and coordination and new investments and clear and singular focus we'll end homelessness for thousand of people in the near future and as she walks up thank you to the president of the board of supervisors lovnd breed and scott wiener and as we're creating this new department it includes a significant increase in funding for homelessness for services for homeless residents and focus on homelessness families this is possible because of a consensus process to move on there in our sales tax come this november on the november ballot i want to particularlycy thank you not only to all the supervisors but in particular to supervisor farrell and supervisor wiener for your leadership in she saiding the

neighborhood based fix it i having been a former dpw director all things are not just with dpw you look at things on the street and puc and private entrepreneurs sfmta rec and park and others involved we wanted to make sure we had a team that represented all of that including the pointing so people that exhibit the behavior that leads to the quality of life in the neighborhoods streets that we're not just relying on the police officers we're actually having a health care working to assist and clean up teams teams that have nut equipment to assist them and a clovengs and loan to different agencies not passenger seat the finger when we were trying to

get things done and building on successful programs like the pit stop pilot programs and i know that supervisors are interested in getting the pit stops up and running in the neighborhoods and vital to our public parks and public libraries and they more than libraries and parks they serve as good conversation hubs for the neighborhoods this budget includes over $29 million in capita investment and playground and extend library hours across the city this budget also allows us to start investing in the initial engineering of our seawall it also funds critical first responder equipment and replacement of our public safety radios i know this is what the

communities wanted as we spoke to a lot of members of the community and got input from a lot of the departments this is what they said and we reflected in our bucketthorax i'm committed to why we have a strong budget i'm compromised to great financial policies in place lie two year budgeting. >> 5 years sftv our reserves and making sure that we deciding strategizing of the things we put before the voters on the ballot like we've done with our bond program and other things to make sure that things are going to be affordable to the long term we have worked together this particular year to close a general fund shortfall without cutting services and i want to say thank you to supervisor mark farrell for

>> (clapping.) >> leader pelosi and pastor, mayor ed lee and supervisor wiener poland as far as we're concerned milk and aaron kevin mayor of san diego and so many other distinguished guests here today and friends of in and of itself and the 4r6b9 community arm, navy and marine corp uniquely gives to america presence in around the globe around is clock insuring stability and deterring adverse and giving our leaders options in time of crisis we're americans is awaiting never a

home game sailors and mairpz are not only in the right place at the right time they're in the right time all the time to get that preponderance you've got to have great halls on the horizon we've reversed the decline in shipbuilding 2001 to 2008 in those seven years the navy put 41 ships under contract i've been in this job nor seven years and in the at the same time we've contracted for 85 ships >> (clapping.) >> and one of the great privileges and great responsibilities that i have in this job is to name each of those ships each class of ship has a naming convention a theme so sub marines are named

for states ships for cities and destroyers are named for heroes and among and no more skraeft and aircraft carriers for president and marine sheriff's deputies for battles we do this to honor the navy's history but to connect the navy to america and to the american people so it is important to remember and honor navel heroes sailors and marines that sacrificed for america that's why i named 8 ships for metal of honor recipients people like john thin and woody williams in are we there yet? world war ii and others for

vietnam and just this morning alter camp pep it on the john a gunnery sergeant for a metal of honor for the canal and even though the mairpz were not in part of war effort toe figure out and died at hiroshima and others ships like the rap he will or the navy cross recipient in iraq and lena the first woman awarded the navy cross during world war i also important i think to recognize and honor those who have fought in a different way and sacrificed sometimes in the same way by losing their lives those who have strived to fulfill the promise laid out in

our constitution to form a more perfect union those who have fought for the ideals that we cherish as a nation justice, quality, freedom that's why in january, i name the first ship of a new class the john louis after the iconic >> (clapping.) >> after the icon dearth and risked his life for that justice and quality and freedom and the naming convention for this entire class of ships are civil rights leader which brings us to the reason we're here today to name a ship for a person who stood for and killed

for quality justice, freedom. >> harvey milk >> (clapping.) >> and his career was known i want to start with the fact that he came from a navy family his father william was a sub marine his mother joined the group in world war i that evoked for the inclusion of women in the united states navy so he came from a tradition of local navel services and activism we became a navel officer and came to san diego as a diving insofar and engaged in numerous pursuits and became active in

politics as a pioneer in the gay rights movement an elected supervisor to hold office no california in the 10 short months he was in office he sponsored an anti discrimination bill advocated for stronger safer neighborhoods and spoke out on state and national issues of importance to the lgbtq community but also have importance to women to racial and ethic minority and stopped a measure to seek intolerance by appealing to anti gay rights. >> (clapping.) >> in his words he said we are

coming out to fight the lives the myths the distortions and coming out to tell the truth of gaze tied of the conspiracy i'll talk about he came out with justice. quality, freedom >> and an a sin tried to silence that voice and to end that fight but even after death his voice still spoke his struggles continue and his cause taken up by countless others harvey milk prereported a statement in case i was killed it said if a bullet should enter my brain let that destroy

today nearly 40 years later many of the doors have think outside the box destroyed next month the military will celebrate the 5 anniversary of the repeal of don't ask don't tell >> (clapping.) >> service members that defended our country but had to allow about w40er7 were to live only and honestly right after the appeal of don't ask don't tell he was in the house we had a big base and everybody came in afghanistan came through there i spoke to a group of seven hundred sailors and marines some of whom were coming in and some leaving and

after the event a navel korman approached me just to say thank you he said he was ending his third combat tour 3 combat tours and had been purified for more than a decade he'd been in the navy he'll be found and asked to leave now how wrong is that 3 combat tours and yet his biggest fear was that he was not going to be permitted to serve because of who he loved. >> we've got to do more than that if anyone here or anyone you know was discharged for being a member of 4r6b9 community and if

they're interested you're interested if you want to come back and let the navy take another look at that discharge >> (clapping.) >> i can't take another look on my own none can but if the ask and the service member or a family member asked we can take another look i urge you to do that >> (clapping.) >> so we're doing those things for two main reasons one the morley right thing to do but another reason these actions make us a stronger

military force every time every time we vote in the military to people who have been kept out for of the worst of reasons we've been stronger when the military was racially integrated in the late 40s we became stronger when we began to recruit women's in large numbers we became stronger and opened to women we became stronger when we repealed don't ask don't tell and when we end the ban on anti gay services we became stronger >> (clapping.) >> and every time an action like this every single time some people opposed it using the same arguments over and over again

unit morale will go down that will make the force weaker and every single those folks were wrong every single time >> (clapping.) >> a more diverse force is a stronger force diversity and background, diversity in thought, exist diversity in perspective our force should represent and be reflective of the country it defends how can we deny a person that qualifies in every way the honor of helping to defend this country because wanted color or shape of their skin or because of who they love how can we do that how can we do that we shouldn't and now thankfully in the

military we don't >> (clapping.) >> one last thing every ship has a sponsor or two they break the bottle of champagne across the bow but give that ship the 3er7b89 and character so the two sponsors for the harvey milk are going to be senator dianne feinstein because of her association with harvey milk and public policy i think a navy veteran who couldn't continue to serve in uniform because of who she is and who is sense been a force fell advocate of the lgbtq community and the first navy

veteran to be issued a new d d-214 to correct her gender listed on the form >> (clapping.) >> so, now it is my privilege to name ta o-20 six the u.s. usns harvey milk .
