>> i think we have amy. are we going to start with the mayor office of housing or the supervisor's office? do you want to start first? great, please come forward. >> if you can keep it brief as much as you can. >> keep it brief. >> good afternoon, supervisor ronen had to head off to another meeting. this meeting ran longer than we were expecting. >> the rules committee will be wrong. i want to inform the members of the board.

>> i am here to speak on her behalf of the legislation she introduced to accelerate affordable housing development, and in april, supervisor roy nan held the hearing on the pipeline despite the projects in predevelopment we weren't seeing great ground. we heard from city staff and nonprofit developers and projects were getting stalled with permits and approofal -- approvals behind other you projects. they can improve our internal processes. the city allocates millions of dollar to create this housing, but when the projects are moving forward through the city system they are thrown in a mix. the two sets of executive directors we focused on.

one was in 2013 there was an executive directive to give priority to affordable housing. in 2017 a subsequent directive to streamline all large residential projects affordable or not diluting the intent of the previous directive. the board has recently passed the former mayor's legislation to streamline. ocd is leading the construction cost containment discussions and implementation of the directive. this comments those by focusing on affordable housing specifically. what the legislation does is very straight forward and simple to direct five city departments to give absolute priorities to 100% affordable housing development, second, it requires each department to designate a

person to shepard the projects through the process, to tract those and third to require the board receive a quarterly update. that allows the board to keep an eye on the projects and for the public to inform if hold ups. we are asking the commitment the city is making in dollars is matched with the city priority in possessing. i am going to cut the rest of my talking points because i know you want to get on. >> thank you. you can stay there. the quarterly report is it come anything the form of memo? a written report? >> we didn't get -- we did specify the things to be included through ocd. >> i would say for the record i think it is important not to take away too much staff time from doing what you want. a simple clear property makes

the -- report makes the most sense rather that in depth analysis to take up staff time. everything else i fully support. >> are we -- do we need comment from the departments? >> several of the departments are here in order to answer any questions. we weren't asking any presentation. >> what departments are represented. >> ocd is a leadership role. >> who is here today? the mayor's office of housing, building inspection, planning, public works and fire and mod. there are five departments listed that are named in the legislation. those are the departments that such affordable housing and governed by the ad min code we left outperformed uc and mta.

we are communicating with them to bring them in. >> what about pw? >> public works here, yes. >> there are amendments to be introduced and you have copies of that. >> go through it. >> sure. they are technical. globally. >> i think you have to talk about them goalie. >> we are de wheating department of before public works. -- deleting department of before the public works. >> that is in the charter. you keep doing that. it is in the charter. >> the city attorney is here. >> go ahead. >> on page three we are

inserting the word of. on page 4 line 23 it says department of office it should be or office. page 5 line 19. we are changing initial date commencement date for reporting from july 15, which is past us which we have past to december 15th. one more. on page 6, line 8, the approval, permit. we replace that with any approval, permit. it explains what we are intending to do. >> you did it technically, not at the global level. >> the first is global that appears several places. >> any questions supervisor yee? >> no. >> supervisor stephanie? >> this is an important piece of

legislation. it is something on all of our minds almost every district in the city has affordable housing in the pipeline. even if it didn't buy district it is something we are concerned about with the housing crisis. i think this is important. >> a motion? >> i will make a motion to accept the amendments. >> public comment? >> motion and then public comment. >> i will make the motion to accept the amendments as outlined in the presentation. >> we will hold off on the motion. any members of the public wish to comment, please come forward? >> i see him in the second row. in cowen. >> good afternoon, supervisors. you excellent. you have been here all day.

representatives of mission economic development agency and the neighborhood development were here earlier and had to leave. they apologize. to emphasize how important this piece of legislation is to the work we do. working with the city departments how we make affordable housing real. we talk about it, make policy speeches. at the end of the day we have projects. getting them through the departments and making the systems standard is going to help a lot in all of those passing of the batons to get the projects to the finish line. we support this wholeheartedly. thank you very much. >> any other members of the public wish to comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> the motion as proposed by supervisor yee without objection? >> i made amendments.

>> that was your motion for amendments without objection. we did that. >> make a motion to send this item to committee as amended with recommendation to the full board. my comments, i wish we had done this a long time ago. >> we can do that without objection. congratulations thank you all for sitting through and those that had to wait. this was a long day. i appreciate you coming. next item. >> item 11 amending the administrative code require disclosure in the healthcare trust fund board elections, set late filing fies and penalties and specify enforcement of

disclosure requirements. >> comments by colleagues? we have sophia from president cohen's office. i know you wanted to say a few words. >> yes, thank you. thank you for hearing this item today. legislation before you today is an update to the administrative code to align disclosure requirements, candidates for retirement board and healthcare trust fund board with those of other elections. these three boards have combined 8 position to govern the variety of interests from healthcare to be contribution rates to fossil fuels and pension investments. upcoming elections in the next two years include two set

service boards seats, one retiree healthcare fund election in 2019, retirement seat in 2020, health service board election in may of 2020. with so much money at stake it is essential they be subject to same disclosure requirements. this requires each interested third-party open a committee and file a form 10 intention statement, file a form 700, file semi-annual campaign funding reports and late contribution reports, submit campaign advertisements, include disclosures. this legislation introduces much needed transparency to the overlooked commissions and boards which have influence on the city operations. i have submitted the amendments

highlighted on your copies specifying electronic filing, conduct code references any person seeking voter data should request that from the retirement board. these are technical and not sub stan stiff. i am happy to answer questions. i hope you will support this with a positive recommendation. thank you. >> i am going to be supporting this, just curious why we are doing it. was there ever a problem with candidates going for these positions, spending a lot of money? i am not sure why. >> my understanding is what president cohen said at the time

of introduction there was an election in the retirement board. i believe it was in late 2016, but i am not certain, in which a specific third-party, independent expenditure you committee spent money to unseat one candidate and put in that. that is my understanding. you. >> we are reacting to something. okay. >> indeed. >> any public comment os this issue? come on up. >> thank you, members of the committee. i am patford with the ethics commission. they would be charge with

administering the ordinance. we have been engaged to refine this and bring it into line with other city law that affects electoral campaigns. i will say this version especially too cleanup amendments are a big improvement over the first version there. are a few other areas that still have a ways to go, in particular we are trying to get one dish closure to fit in the existing systems that would have to be made on paper filings. they are cost ineffective and not very good in providing information to the public because they are not machine readable. the public cannot search the data. it is an uploaded pdf the public has to look at. in terms of modern disclosure technology, it is not the best. ideally we would like to refine this to fit it into an existing

disclosure. that would mean refining the campaign advertise meant to only apply to mass mailings. 200 or more similar pieces of mail. if that were refined in that way we would piggyback it to the existing mass mailing disclosure that apply to all candidates. that would make sight there was very minimal cost burden. that would cost $60,000 to create the electronic version of the campaign addvertisement or paper filing which wouldn't create up front cost it would be staff burden and not as effective. i think we are on board with the spirit and general form and we support it. >> if this were an amendments to be made, where would it be made?

you. >> what section or whatever? >> let me look real quick. >> i would like to have a reaction you you you t to the possibility. i saw you shaking your head. can you explain it? >> respectfully, what we have understand i is that, and if i m not clear i would love to be corrected. my understanding if it were a request ever of the rechoiring f electronic filings. we believe they are important and not mandating everything in paper. the idea we would limit the disclosure to mass mailings and exclude things like phone calls, items like digital ads on

facebook because the department of ethics has not yet set up the financial disclosure system for electronic filings seems to me and to the president to be kind of a slow reaction. i think we should incest in making you are -- should inch vest that we require them and that brings transparency to the system. the time lapse between what we have now and should have in the future should not reflect what we do or do not mandate on disclosure. is that clear? my understanding what the specific amendments is that we identify campaign advertise men's for mass mailing.

we feel strongly it should be broader. if there is a way to meet the needs for electronic versus paper filing without limiting to mass mailing, we are open. we do not want to reduce the disclosure to mass mailings. >> if i am following you, you this legislation would actually lead a discussion, a bigger discussion. if right now for instance if i am running and i don't have to do the facebook or whatever you are talking about, we have to change it to make everybody do that then, right? right now you are suggesting it is filed for these positions? >> that is my understanding.

i would defer to the city attorney and mr. ford. >> did you understand my question? >> you there is a number of different disclosures any candidate in san francisco has to file with the ethics commission. campaign statements and copies of the advertisement. they are cent sent out and fileh the ethics commission in the existing law. if i understand what mr. ford referred to some are electronic and some are paper. this looks at the same advertise men's. you at the current time they can't be electronically filed. i hope to get these move anything that direction, but it

sounds like it is a matter of time and resources question and implementation question. >> city attorney, are there other you candidates that are required to disclose or file advertisements that are not mass mailings, to your knowledge? >> other third-parties are required to file things other than mass mailings including what we refer to as election communications, network communications and other third-party communications. what you mentioned robocall scripts, electronic ads, internet ads are filed with the ethics commission. >> her question was specifically do other candidates? specifically called out for

retirement board, retiree healthcare trust fund board? >> we are not the first people to require this. >> when i run for office i have a list of requirements. what they are trying to do is have the same list. are they going above and beyond what i i have to as a member of the boad of supervisors. if i go on social media, do a radio ad, don't i have to file with the ethics commission to have disclosures? >> i don't think it is the intents of the legislation to go above and beyond. >> i don't think she said that. they want the proposal for parity correct? >> correct. >> when you run for seat on the

board of supervisors. the only time to file a copy of advertisement is mass mailing. you have to disclose expenditure us on campaign statements. >> it is when the actual copy. we give you a copy of the mailing. >> you have to do that within five days. you within five days of themas failing you have to filed itemized disclosure and give us a copy. >> facebook or radio ad we don't have to disclose? >> no and this would go further. anytime they spend money on any campaign tiesment they have to file a copy within five days. >> that was not the intents what they were trying to do. neighbor it is -- maybe it is an interpretation? i heard it sounds like this is requiring these three bodies to do more than what we would have

to as member of the board of supervisor when we run for office, is that true? >> in thatrup. there are other -- in that respect. it is give and take. there are matters where they have to do less. >> we are talking about disclosures based on advertising, correct? based on electronic. >> whether or not you submit copies of the specific ad. >> what i her the ethics saying mass mailing, radio or social media we don't have to. >> right. i don't disagree with that. >> is that what you are trying to do? you want parity? where is that in this? >> 16.553-2 c on page 8 of the

revised version. >> campaign advertisements at the bottom. >> what line? >> line you -- absence of a definition online 21. >> you want there to be campaign advertise men's mass mailings? >> right. specifically this applies to mass mailings or defining campaign advertise meant to restrict it to that an lauren. >> would you be -- alone. >> would you be opposed to that amendment? >> i would not oppose if the ethics commission can -- the president believes as matter of policy this should be included. for this specific legislation. >> that is why i asked the question. i heard what you were trying to say. deputy city attorney, can we

make that amendment? it looks like a clarifying amendment? >> it would not be substantive. at the direction of the committee i can shoot out language on that. >> we are open to that. >> that works. >> just for the record, i think we are the ethics commission saying add clarity around what would actually fall under the definition of campaign advertisement. >> my suggestion on pages and line number in the original version in the meeting packet would be page 8 line 21. substituting mass mailings for campaign advertisements. you. >> that is now on 22. candidates that pay for campaign advertisements. >> in subsection c 1. mass mailings. >> instead of campaign adverti

advertisement say mass mailings. >> right. >> where is the other place? >> i would suggest the second paragraph of the same subsection c 1 at th the top of page 9. starting if advertisement is phone call. >> mass mailing. >> it would be inapplicable to mass mailing. >> you that would be it. >> we can forward to the full board? >> are you okay with that? >> that is perfect. >> anything else? any other question. >> that is all. thank you for your consideration. >> supervisor stephanie you have a lot to say about this? i am teasing you. i think a motion to accept the amendments as proposed regarding the word campaign advertisement as proposed by the deputy city

attorney. get a motion to send to the full board with positive recommendation. so moved without objection. that item is ordered. any other matters before us today? >> that concludes our business for today. >> great. we are adjourned. >> we're here to raise awareness and money and fork for a good accuse.

we have this incredible gift probably the widest range of restaurant and count ii destines in any district in the city right here in the mission intricate why don't we capture that to support the mission youths going to college that's for the food for thought. we didn't have a signature font for our orientation that's a 40-year-old organization. mission graduates have helped me to develop special as an individual they've helped me figure out and provide the tools for me that i need i feel successful in life >> their core above emission and goal is in line with our

values. the ferraris yes, we made 48 thousand >> they were on top of that it's a no-brainer for us. >> we're in and fifth year and be able to expand out and tonight is your ungrammatical truck food for thought. food truck for thought is an opportunity to eat from a variety of different vendor that are supporting the mission graduates by coming and representing at the parks >> we're giving a prude of our to give people the opportunity to get an education. people come back and can you tell me and enjoy our food.

all the vendor are xooment a portion of their precedes the money is going back in >> what's the best thing to do in terms of moving the needle for the folks we thought higher education is the tool to move young people. >> i'm also a college student i go to berkley and 90 percent of our folks are staying in college that's 40 percent hire than the afternoon. >> i'm politically to clemdz and ucla. >> just knowing we're giving back to the community. >> especially the spanish speaking population it hits home. >> people get hungry why not eat and give.

inventive, resourceful and decisive, even when times are rocky. there's many more comments here that i could read, but in the interest of brevity, i'm not going to. i just want to personally extend my congratulations to you rob for your many years of service, and like the employee, i personally thank you for all you do for our students. so with that, i'd like to welcome you up here. the mic is live, and it's all

yours. [applause] >> thank you, dr. stevens, thank you, dr. matthews, thank you board, thank you friends and people here, and especially the students of our school district and especially the ones that revel in the arts and arts education. good evening. i'm rob daniels and i'm humbled to be the recipient of this award. it's a long way from the farm in lake odessa, michigan, where i grew up. my dream and my career became a reality because of the arts and arts education which include all the amazing people and experiences that an artist encounters on their journey. it is my firm belief that all of us and especially all of our students can also reach for and achieve their dreams through the arts and the amazing opportunities that arts, the creativity and artistic expression offer them. i have been very lucky my whole life to have been surrounded by

artists, staff, family and friends who share the dreams of what the arts can offer. i'd like to thank my arts staff colleagues. i couldn't begin to name you all. my fellow teachers, the administration, and of course the board of education, six superintendents, yes six, our amazing students and especially the voters of san francisco for their continued support of the public education enrichment fund which is the major funding for the vapa department. thank you to my sons and my husband of 35 years together whom i met in poland of course while teaching arts and education at the american school of warsaw for ten years. [speaking foreign language]

>> and translating from polish, thank you, leshig for all your support. thank you for all of your hours and hours of support, hand holding and listening of how crazy artists can be. thank you. thank you. [applause] >> wow.

>> all right. congratulations, mr. daniels, and thank you for all your service. item 6 is advisory committee reports and appointments to advisory committees by board members. item 1 out of that is our report from the c.a.c. for special education to invite our c.a.c. up for

i have a daughter in transition, currently approaching her third year in

transition at thurgood marshall. >> good evening. my name is aleta fisher, and i'm the chierm of the advisory committee, and i -- chairman of the advisory committee, and i'm a parent of three children. first of all, we'd like to thank you very much for hearing us tonight. dr. matthews, president mendoza-mcdonnell, and commissioners, thank you all for your time. we'd like to start with a bit of an overview of special education just as a reminder. i think we've presented this before, but students receiving special education services makeup 12% of sfusd's total population. that's over 7,000 students, and the majority of those students,

actually 75% actually receive their services in a general education setting rather than a special day class. so by supporting special education students, we're supporting all students? special education is actually by law a service, not a placement. and the supreme court decided the andrew s. case last march. i'm sure you're all well verse -- endrewf. case last march. i'm sure you're all well versed in that, but we provided you some documentation of that that the fact that the new court decision confirms that students should have goals in their i.e.p.'s that are appropriately ambitious? and what the previous deminimus

standard of barely moving forward is no longer acceptable. one of the things that's new here that we're highlighting is some of the performance indicators from our lcap that were presented at the data forum in november november. we wanted to highlight our high school indicators in particular because some of these are actually quite alarming. a couple that stood out to us, when you look at our sbac math scores, if you look at all of the 11th graders who took the sbac, only 12% of students with i.e.p.'s were able to score proficient, only 12%. and while it's not an official lcap indicator, something that sfusd monitors is our readiness for high school graduates? only 30% of our students with i.e.p.'s graduate ready for

u.c. and state schools. a >> and now onto our accomplishments. for the 2017-18 accomplishments by the c.a.c., i want to point out that we're made up of parent volunteers. we take time off our work to go to legislative visits up in sacramento, to attend sfusd meetings. we realize that without doing that, it would be hard pressed for us to really be participatory and collaborate with the district, so we take that time off because we're committed to our children's education. also to the point with he have significantly increased our attendance at c.a.c. meetings this year? i specifically want to point out that back in february we had a family empowerment assignment summit where other

families came together and we worked together in regard to our concerns that we have for our children in special education. other advocacy workshops at school sites, we've done -- we've had presentations at the information resource conference presented by support for families of children with disabilities. it's an all day saturday event where multiple workshops are done, and with our workshop, we've provided information to both professionals and families about the c.a.c. and what we're doing in special education. in addition, we've been involved with outreach at what used to be called edrev, but it's e.h.c., education revolution. on a state level, we've had participants attend the government's ad row casey, and also the board for advocacy for special education back in april where our chair, lee fisher has

participated and learned about a lot of information covering the budget and its impact to our students' education and special education and how we recognize the fact that there is an inefficient amount of budget that supports the needs of our children in special ed. our 2018-19 priorities for the c.a.c., some of these may sound familiar because we've referenced them before in other reports. in addition, other advisory committees, the joint advisory committee has also reported on the two items that we point out -- the first two items we point out, which is the reading inventions. we would like to implement consistent reading interventions at all tiers for all students who are struggling with their reading. in addition we would like to see social and emotional supports for all students to ensure that students are feeling safe in their school environment. we also would like to point out as a priority that we would

like to create a staffing stability with high quality professionals. we do realize that there is a lot of professionals leaving the district, and there are impacts to not just our students but also to the budget -- special education budget when we have such instability. >> surrounding the priority of reading intervention, one of the big issues that we found is the inequity in intervention at various school sites. we've got many school sites who can fund literacy specialists on their own, others who are short staffed or staffed by teachers on emergency credential. and so we're exceptionally grateful for the curriculum and instruction department this year and their phonological processing program that supported ten schools in reading interventions?

and dr. stevens has been supportive of us, very patient with our questions/pestering and was kind enough to meet with us and explain how the program will move forward in the 2018-19 year? we're excited that the program will be rolled out beyond the ten pilot schools but one of the things that we wanted to point out is rolling this out, this is a -- this is a pilot program that will provide reading interventions to all students, whether or not they've been identified for special education but make sure that all of our readers are -- are getting intervention services to come to grade level, which there's no more critical thing that we can do for our students to prepare them for success in the 21st century than to teach them to read. and if you look at studies of prison literacy rates, for example, there's a study done

in huntsville, texas, of inmates. 80% of inmates at the state pen that were studied, 80% were functionally illiterate, and of those, 40% had the rapid naming haulmark signs of dyslexia. this is a critically important issue for us to address. however, rolling this out to all elementary schools, means training 2700 elementary schoolteachers. it also means providing additional specialists who have higher level of credentialing, particularly a reading certificate, and another program that's being rolled out is a great start. at dr. stevens mentioned, it gets us to 70% of the stayed

guidelines, the dyslexia guidelines, but that's not going to be enough to support all students. we need evidence-based researched programs that support interventions like -- like dyslexia. these are expensive programs, though. they're not easy. so one of the things that the c.a.c. recommends is that rather than reinvent a program from scratch, look at what our schools are doing that are doing this well. we've already got some teachers who have gone out on their own and gotten trained with linda mode bell, and make sure that we're using the existing expertise at school sites and expanding upon it and making sure that everyone at all levels of the district buy into this as an equity issue, and that administrators at all sites are also trained so that

they're able to help with the implementation and the support and the additional hours of training that are going to be required to implement a program like this. >> we'd also like to address some of the social and emotional challenges that our students are facing. in specific, social acceptance, bullying and inclusion issues are a consistent challenge for our students and their families. when we looked at school climate surveys, we saw that one in four students in general don't feel safe at their schools right now in san francisco unified, but that number jumps to one in three students for students who have an i.e.p. and these aren't acceptable numbers for our children. and there's also not a clear path of action around student

safety and belonging when families have concerns, so we'd like to see more specific training on things like specific practices, social skills, deescalation, specifically to special education teachers and general education staff because all of them are supporting our students with i.e.p.'s, and all of our students, not just students with i.e.p.'s, need these kinds of support. we have to ensure that social interaction is facilitated in the classroom and not just expected. we need to increase professional development for all educators around restoreative practices because it's something that's mandated in a board resolution that we passed i believe more than four years ago and we'd like to see it implemented with fidelity at all of our school sites? this also includes including a study and act cycle? which means we look back to see

how we're doing with implementation of these programs. we need to make sure that board resolutions are followed through with systematically and not just as an expectation. we need to increase communication, action and support for children with i.e.p.'s and their families who are reporting bullying? we have to consider a process that supports the ongoing communication between families and district staff when an incident is reported. we have to provide training for all educators and cultural competency and implicit bias so that these teachers feel prepared to educate all students that they come in contact with in their classrooms and anywhere in their schools, and we have to use existing structures in our school district. things like the middle school redesign or a beacon expansion or our office of family empowerment to make sure these

are addressed effectively so we don't have to reinvent the wheel when we're addressing these issues. and we also have to address the staffing stability for our students. we have to make sure that we prepare our educators to stay and be successful in the district that they choose to come and teach in or to support students in. we have to make sure that all of our educators, special educators, general educators, administration, paraprofessionals are trained in awareness, special education and practices, another board resolution we have to see implemented with fidelity? positive behavior interventions and supports and restoreative practices, again going back to our safe and supportive goals

resolution, everybody needs to be trained to the point they can implement these in the way they're expected to be implemented at our school sites so that they're prepared to support our students because our students' success means our teachers' success which means they'll stay in this district for a long period of time. we have to look at the staffing guidelines that are leaving many schools challenged to support student effectively? and this includes this service codes for paraeducators in our i.e.p.'s which have recently changed leaving huge gaps of support in the measured minutes of services that our students receive from their paraeducators. we have to address that, and we're going to talk about how. so beyond increasing the professional development for things like universal design for learning, making sure that our general educators have the same level of understanding of

support that our special educators have, we have to fully fund coteaching in the middle and high schools? because at the secondary level, coteaching is absolutely necessary to ensure that our students with i.e.p.'s graduate with all of their 8 through g requirements. we have to provide the staffing allocations for that teaching as well as schedule a school day so that those coteachers are allowed to coplan lessons. we have to ensure that our school site councils include special education in their planning process 'cause when parents and staff connected to special education have a seat at the table for the school planning, inclusion becomes a school wide priority. and finally, we have to address the service codes. the 900 codes, if you guys like to talk about service codes, which i do, have impaired pa
