i am here today out of love for my students, their families our school and the wider hunters point and bayview communities. in the past three years we have worked to make the work inclusion meaningful at our school. the classroom i have created is a space where students want to be. i have watched their confidence and independance grow as they have progressed both academically and socially. our classroom is also the space where students with iep's have access to high quality services like speech, and family counseling. without the space for our resource room, our students would sever a decrease in effectiveness of services and the resultant lower out comes. i want our school to achieve its vision for our students.

i want the district to make good on its promise to better serve its african american students. as such, i stand before you urgently asking that you reconsider the offer, the new school charter school of colocation at our site. thank you for your time. [applause]. >> hi. my name is yadi. >> hi. my name is lexi. >> we are children making a change at coleman advocates. we're here to talk about the changes being made to malcolm x academy. >> we're not -- we're not from malcolm x academy, but we think having two schools together would cause problems, but we also think that kids deserve enough space to grow and learn.

>> and get a good education. you should listen to us because it's the right thing for the students. >> thank you. [applause]. >> hi. my name is ana maria hudson. i'm from pmac, parents making a change. [ speaking native language ]

[please stand by for captioner

>> good evening, i'm here tonight really in solidarity with a movement to really ensure -- i love the words of ms. elie of protecting the sanctuary we have created. malcolm x elementary is one of the seven school sites identified as one of the highest trauma-impacted schools in san francisco, so we are a recipient of the grant that identifies because of the data that shows. and data outside of that, we are showing up here because we have committed to seeing through the vision that san francisco unified has for all students, particularly our students of color. our black students, pacific islander and latino students. that's the community we are representing.

if you can't see how this will impact our community 3-5 years from now, we say no. we cannot co-locate when you really truly can't see through that vision when you you are making these decisions. we just heard from our principal, this back and forth relationship with our district and our site always offered up as a co-location site. what message do you send to our students and our communities in the bayview? [applause] i really want to honor and thank our partners, coleman advocates for really showing out. even though these children and families aren't attending our schools, at least the ones we heard from, right, they know the importance of space, right. and they know the importance of ensuring when a community is impacted or threatened they will show up. so i encourage you to really look within your spirit and really your vision about how you truly want to impact the schools in particular in the

bayview. i appreciate your time and please, i say no to re-location at malcolm x academy. thank you. [applause] >> hola buenos noches [speaking spanish] thank you. >> [through interpreter], hello, my name is gloria, i'm here to support the malcolm x academy and the relocation of

our school in that school. the malcolm x academy, it's achieving positive progress with students by utilizing the space. providing critical support individually. please, don't take the space. it's needed and hurt the children because of that. look for another space for the new school. thank you. [applause] >> [speaking spanish]

>> [through interpreter]: hello, my name is [inaudible], i'm here in support of the malcolm x academy. the school district says it's a matter of equity but equity is give to the students what they need. what the students need at malcolm x is space. to get the support, individual support and the resources. please, listen to the community of malcolm x. find a new space for the new school. thank you. [applause] >> for the two translations, i'm going to add two more minutes and who i have left are susan solomon, allison colins, alita fisher and elita blanc.

you have two more minutes. i don't have any other cards. those are the four other cards that i have. susan solomon, allison colins, elita fisher or elita blanc. are you any of those four? >> no, i'm not. >> i need one of the four i just spoke. if i don't have your card, i can't let you speak. i'm sorry. thank you. so two more minutes. you have four more people and you need to come up now or we will close this item. thank you. >> hello, my name is allison colins. i'm a parent and i wanted to put all this in context. i'm hearing a lot of families saying they want you to find another school and i'm here to stand in support of them and in support of the district. i know if you did put them in another school, you would be

targeting another community. i know that charters are demanding space in our district. there's more than one. there's a man in the hallway from mary l. booker academy. he confirmed to me, it's an innovate school, they are looking for space in the bayview, at either malcolm x, at carver or willie brown and we also know that mission education center is also a site. i just want to put this into context, i'm hoping families in the city, on the west side and in north beach, as well as on the south side band together in support of black and brown schools. black and brown people are being displaced from our communities and the fact we are also being displaced from our schools is unacceptable. i know your hands are tied in a lot of ways because of state law. i just want to put it on the record that you are not wanted, okay? you're not wanted at malcolm x or m.e.c. or carver, you're not wanted at willie brown.

thank you. [applause] >> how do i follow the amazing allison colins. so i'm here in my capacity as the chair of the community advisory committee for special education. i just want to reiterate what people have said that students with disabilities will be impacted. malcolm x has 70% with i.e.p.'s, the rest is average of 12. huge impact. the spaces lost are the spaces providing interventions for students with disabilities. the classrooms that provide the extra support, the tutoring, the cool down spaces. the school that is coming in is a school that is part of the el dorado selba, so this is a doubly painful pill to swallow.

please keep in mind there are students with disabilities who will be significantly impacted and will need additional resources to mitigate the problems being arisen here. and the growth that's happened for the past three years is amazing. four times. quadrupled their scores in math. triple e.l.a. scores. thank you. [applause] >> president h. mendoza-mcdonnell: that's time. so elita and susan, one minute for one of you. >> i'm sorry, we have the right to speak under any point and we will take our two minutes each if we choose to, that's in our contract. so, first of all, i want to thank the parents and staff from, well from the two schools that came from guadaloupe and malcolm x to speak up for your school sites. i know the commissioners and

superintendent understand it's quite a sacrifice for students and parents to come to the school board to speak but here you are, so thank you very much. there's a common thread here which is the school board is being asked to do the right thing by the students at these schools. both schools in the southeast part of our city. and the common thread is listen to the people doing the work. listen to the parents whose children are at these school sites. if we keep the interest of the children at the center of our discussions we will make the right decisions. that's what i'm asking you to do tonight. at guadaloupe, there are choices to be made around administrator, i think you could probably find an equitable solution for that school that will address the needs spoken to by the parents and the staff here, a question

of co-location, it flies in the face of rational thought to co-locate a school into malcolm x. it makes no sense. the same evening we were given the report about african american achievement in the districts. almost any of those pages speaks to the need for stability in this community. each one of you has a job. imagine having a whole other set of -- another organization thrust into your work place. you know what that would mean. do unto others as you would have done unto you and think of the kids. thank you very much. [applause] >> good evening, commissioners and superintendent matthews, i'm susan solomon, executive vice president of united educators of san francisco. i believe the malcolm x academy has said what has needed to be

said very eloquently as has president blanc. i won't take the two minutes to repeat it. but i want to make it clear united educators of san francisco stands in support of the malcolm x academy community. thank you. [applause] >> president h. mendoza-mcdonnell: thank you. >> hi, i'm here in support of malcolm x academy. >> president h. mendoza-mcdonnell: i don't have a card for you, i'm sorry. public comment is closed. >> i have a voice. >> president h. mendoza-mcdonnell: we asked for you to give a card ahead of time. if we allow you, we will have to allow everybody. i already extended the time. >> can you just give her half a minute. she is here with a child and she just wants to have her voice heard. >> i just hope you make the

right decision and do what's right -- [off mic] >> president h. mendoza-mcdonnell: thank you. thank you. okay. thank you all for public comment. and for sharing all of your comments and -- >> [off mic] >> okay. thank you. and we heard it from many people this evening. we will take all the information and we need to move on now. we have an entire meeting to continue with, so thank you. our next item is item g, special order of business. so this is item number 184-10s01 revise parent involvement policy at sites reviewed for federal program

monitoring, bessie carmichael school/filipino education center, francis middle school marina middle school and e.r. taylor elementary school. >> the staff will be rodrick castro. >> good evening, commissioners. tonight's recommended action is that the board of education approve the updates to the language in the schools parent involvement policies to provide full opportunities for the participation of parents. parents of disabilities -- required under 6311 in a format and to the extent practicable in a language such that parents understand. >> president h. mendoza-mcdonnell: thank you. i don't have any public speakers on this. any comments from the board or superintendent?

our members' hands because we know the affordability crisis remains acute. and so we are very, very pleased to have this m.o.u. which says that when the parcel tax passes in june, prop-g, which we know it will pass. we will need all your energy and efforts to get it to pass. 75% of that parcel tax will go to educators and it will bring a 7% raise to the base salary of all our members. that's tremendous and brings targeted support to identified schools. and restoring, or actually maintaining the 18 hours of professional development we have, and will bring a boost to dependent care for our members as well. we are very happy about this and we look forward to getting this parcel tax passed. prop-g, go! g-for great!

supervisors meeting of tuesday, april 10th, 2018. madam clerk, please call the roll. [ roll call ] >> madam president, you have a quorum. >> thank you. please join us in the pledge of allegiance. [ pledge of allegiance ]

>> all right. madam clerk, are there any communications. >> i have none to report. >> colleagues, today we are approving the minutes from march 6th, 2018. is there a motion? moved and seconded. without objection, they will be approved after public comment. madam clerk, please read the next item. >> appearance of the mayor. no questions submitted from the supervisors, the mayor may address the board for up to five minutes. >> welcome. you have the floor. >> thank you very much. good afternoon, everyone. i want to thank you, once again, for hosting question time and as we gear up for budget season, i want to speak about an issue we care deeply about.

it will be the focus of all our budget priorities and we're committed to addressing and that's our homelessness crisis in san francisco. it really is a challenge of our time. wheewhile we want to find the sr bullet, it's complicated. we can't build ourselves out of homelessness. we have 7500 supportive housing units in san francisco, the most per capita of any major city in america. yet, we haven't seen a decrease in our homeless population. if we want to reduce our homelessness count by one, we have to build 4 housing units to make that happen. because of the new number of individuals who become homeless every year in our city. we have to tackle the issue from the onset before the problem becomes overwhelming. we need to invest in prevention and diversion programs, initiatives we are calling problem solving services.

we can make a huge difference in the lives of at risk residents. it's a missing how effective it can be when we help pay for rent, repay old loans or help with car payments. those small but really critical investments can literally be the difference between people staying in their home or living out on the street. and we know that when people become homeless and start living on our streets, it's a whole separate set of issues that we have to deal with as a city. last week, i had the chance to meet ethel who is a single mother of five children at compass family services. she works hard to take care of her kids, but she was recently struggling with her finances and fell behind on her rent. with the support from the city and nonprofit partners, we were able to help her pay her back rent, provide her with a rental subsidy. now that her finances are in order, she's looking forward to the future. the problem solving services i

want to see continue and accelerate here in our city. it's not only inhumane and unethical for the city to allow it, it's also financially unsustainable. problem solving measures would prevent people from becoming homeless in the first place, costs half the amount compared to services for people who are already living on our streets and need to be rehoused. problem services -- problem solving services work. last year, 800 people took advantage of homeward bound which reunites family members and loved ones. those individuals, only 6% returned so san francisco to use the services of the city. i'm going to see supporting initiatives that are compassionate but not enabling of street behavior. we have to take advantage of every program and explore all resources to make progress on this difficult challenge. we must continue to embrace collaboration with our partners at the state level. tomorrow, i'm going to be going

to sacramento to join mayors from the ten other largest cities in california to advocate for more than $1.5 billion in funding for homelessness initiatives at the state. wunderstand that homelessness doesn't stop at jurisdictions. we're all grappling with this. we have to ban together in california if we're going to change and solve this challenge of our lifetime. the state funds will complement our levels and support long-term solutionsolutions to homelessneh as permanent housing and rental assistance. i want to make sure we recognize a few members who allocated millions for similar initiatives here in san francisco. just as i'm working closely with our state delegation on budget initiatives, i'm prepared and look forward to working with members of this board on the major challenges facing our city during our budget process. as i said last month during question time, we must pursue our shared interest in a manner

that's fiscally responsible and represents our budget process. this week we're set to begin deliberation with a responsive budget that will take into account the needs of our entire city. these conversations will determine the best path forward for our city as they always have and always will. now, i don't believe the time to pursue up is represent al budget initiatives. i look forward to continuing to working with everybody here in this room to solve the real challenges of our time. together we will make a difference. i look forward to doing so in a collaborative manner. thanks very much. >> thank you for being here today. with that, madam clerk, let's move on to our next agenda item. call the consent agenda. >> items 1 through 7. they are considered to be routine f a member rejects, it can be removed and considered separately. >> seeing no names, madam clerk, on the items, please call roll.

panama street and interstate highway 280 in the ocean view neighborhood to convey the interest in the street sakes area to the owner and to accept an offer for a public sidewalk for city maintenance and liability and affirm the ceqa determination. >> last week, i requested this item be continued for a week so that i could meet with the planning department and dbw to understand how this property had gone from being approved as single family home to having two unauthorized units and then having all of the tenants on the site be evicted. i'm speaking with representatives from the planning and dbw, dru includinge director. there will be more reliable oversight and we will be kept abreast of the results of the

inspection that is to be done before a certificate of occupancy is issued for the rehab property. i am now comfortable that the regrettable situation that resulted in multiple displacements will not occur again. so we'll be supporting this legislation today. >> thank you, supervisor yee. can we take this item same house same call? it is adopted unanimously on the first reading. >> item 13 is an ordinance to amend the administrative code to modify the process for the mayor to appear at the board of supervisors for a question-and-answer session. >> roll call vote.

1978, it was sold as a way to protect homeowners, but it's actually corporations and large commercial property owners who benefit the most. chevron is pocketing hundreds of millions a year. disneyland is paying just 5 cents per square foot in property taxes. 8 times less than the average california homeowner pays. this has been made even worse after the latest tax give away to corporations by number 45 and republicans in congress. a few years ago, when i was on the school board, both the school board and the board of supervisors unanimously passed a resolution in support of a split reform of prop 13 and the last month and a half, there have been over 300,000 signatures gathered for the california schools and local communities funding act and is expected to be on the 2020 ballot. this act would restore over $111 billion in annual revenue for our schools and local

communities across california, just by making commercial property owners pay their fair share of property taxes. for san francisco, this would mean over $800 million per year. this is a common sense reform and the fairest possible way for us to generate the revenue we need to fully fund our schools and public services. california schools have gone from the top ten to the bottom ten in the country in per pupil funding, and we must reverse this trend. san francisco should be at the forefront of this movement. to close the loophole in prop 13 and make corporations pay their fair share of property taxes. i hope you all will join me in supporting this resolution. thank you very much. >> thank you, supervisor fewer. supervisor kim. >> thank you. supervisor peskin.

>> after a number of years negotiations with some south of market developers, the san francisco flower mart association and the city are introducing together with supervisor kim a resolution outlining the city's general desire to swap 2 parcels of land, one in the south of market and one the former printing press on marin street in order to secure an appropriate temporary relocation site for the beloved san francisco flower mart in order to demonstrate the city's continued commitment to a beneficial arrangement for all of the parties involved, the resolution puts a clear stake in the ground this we want to move the relocation process along in parallel with the central planning effort that is underway. the resolution demonstrates the acknowledgment of our puc that

conveying and exchanging the properties will give the puc more room for equipment storage and provide a home for more than 50 flower mart vendors that employs, hundreds of workers, artists, and is beloved treasure in san francisco. i also want to thank and acknowledge the mayor and his staff who are helping guide this process through the coming couple of months. in addition, i am introducing the equity for impact transportation tax that i mentioned at the transportation authority commission meeting earlier today that would utilize our existing tax rate for a new category of business, private transportation companies, as bike share and other emerging industries like the e scooters that everybody is explainin como

us about. it's good city and practice to make sure the laws keep up. we have to move as quickly aztec and make sure that they are clear and equitable rules that apply to this business sector. as such, this tax is a long overdue update to our tax structure which recognizes the emerging and evolving businesses of private transportation, whether it's fixed route businesses or multi billion dollar commercial carrier businesses like uber and lyft. while capitol hill shells out federal tax cuts and funding streams for projects are drying up, local jurisdictions struggle to fund basic services and build out the necessary infrastructure to keep pace with growth here in the city. of course, we are all aware of the widening income gap and that further highlights the need to identify new revenue to mitigate the impacts of population growth and demands on our public infrastruc.
