3:00 pm
but you serving as vice president kept us in line. kept us from going over the deep end on a lot of tough issues that we had to deal with and work through. so i appreciate that and your thoughtfulness in every decision and the fact that you are willing to go against the grain and not just roll with what i may be think should happen or how i think it should happen. that goes of course, for the rest of our colleagues as well. your independent voice that thinks through everything, but i our mention on this board, which is to educate our 56,000 students, and make sure they get the best possible opportunity, you were right there with us and i appreciate you for that. i appreciate you for believing in me and also giving me the opportunities that you have. i really do appreciate. one of the things that was big for me for coming onto this board and you have worked tirelessly to make happen, was the connection between the board
3:01 pm
of education and the city and county of san francisco. and that peace is very important because school districts and cities sometimes don't work as closely as we have these past couple of years and we definitely did not do that in san francisco. so that is a big contribution. as we will continue to see as we do the work within the district and within the city. you are going to be messed. new york is definitely -- new york's gain. this is not goodbye and we will see you again soon. thank you for all of your service and dedication. >> commissioner norton? >> thank you. so i have said some words before the board meeting. i try not to repeat myself. i just want to really appreciate the relationship that you have created across the school district and with funders. we have not always agreed to.
3:02 pm
we have had our battles, but i really do respect the work that you did to create that very strong relationship between the city and the school district. we are better for it and you are leaving us better for it. thank you for that. >> i just want to recount a few things where you have made a huge impact. i remember back when mayor newsom invited all of his department heads to mission high school. so many of them had never stepped inside any of our public schools. it was really eye-opening for them to understand why it was so important for your work, as we have said, to bridge the city and the school district. you also helped as yet, not one, but to golden bell awards. given the kind of partnerships that you have forged with the
3:03 pm
private sector, circled the schools, 100 million salesforce over ten years, those things would not have happened without you. and without your leadership. and i think that the final thing about your legacy is just being so warm and kind to people who you have interacted with. i think that will certainly carry over into your exciting new job and we wish you all the best. >> commissioner sanchez klee. >> i've just -- i know. i was going to say something negative. no. the only thing i will say is that back when you were first getting the job, you have the job as the liaison. you are working for the mayor
3:04 pm
and you got the job as liaison and people were saying that would be a conflict. i knew at the time, that it may, and some people's minds be a conflict, but if anyone can navigate the conflict it would be you. your legacy will live long in this district and when the city because you've been able to navigate that so well and people have said already, the amount of money that this district has garnered because of the work that you have done at the wall that has been broken down between the city and the district is because of the work you have done with others but you have lead that charge. that wall will not go back up. it is a work that you have done that has made us a stronger district and a sock -- stronger city. when i heard that your place in brooklyn was only 600 square feet, i had already invited myself to stay at your place but now i don't know. it is pretty small. [laughter]
3:05 pm
>> it has been a really difficult year in many ways with the loss of your mother and obviously mayor lee, and it is difficult for the board as well to see you leave. i think there is nobody who can replace you. i think that is all i will say and i will give you a big hug. >> dr matthews? >> i wanted to tell you how much i appreciate you. i have the opportunity to watch when dennis was superintendent of oakland and jerry brown was mayor. it doesn't benefit the city or the school district when there is conflict and when there is a wall between the two. and the fact that you, you know, with the team, were able to break down the wall and make sure there is good communications and the ability
3:06 pm
to work together, is really a testament to who you are and what you believe in and the importance of partnerships and doing work in a collaborative manner. i want to thank you. my first introductions were introduction to mayor lee. and a big mickey mouse. i have a thousand mickey mouse is upstairs. there was that partnership right away. even before starting as superintendent. the opportunity to come in and establish partnerships that will banish it -- benefit the district. finally, i think the biggest way that you have assisted in keeping my household together and not having me throw a brick through the television, is half time of warriors games and i have said, what is wrong with them? and you would say don't worry. the third quarter is coming. and sure enough, you were right. i just want to thank you for all you have done for the young people and families of the city
3:07 pm
and for me, personally. you talk about a part of coming into the district was believing in myself, and mostly believing that i can do this. one of the things you said is that you talked about mayor newsom seeing something in you and i just appreciate you seeing something in me. >> very briefly, we don't just know each other here, but in the community. and i remember you coming with your kids, who are at that time, this tall, to the garage sales where i would ask you, when you will -- when will you run for the board? but i do sincerely appreciate our friendship over the years.
3:08 pm
and sincerely, i wish you every success in the big apple. they are in for a treat. thank you. thank you for our friendship. >> there is no way i will outdo the others. a lot of you had long-term relationships with former president mendoza. what an incredible expression of a beautiful relationship. i really appreciate how often you showed up for your wife. i am not married, but -- except the single part, i think you know. you know, i actually did not get a chance to meet commissioner mendoza until i started running for the school board.
3:09 pm
and obviously because she had been a long-term person on the board, i had heard about her work. but i've seen you up close and how diligent you are and how often you show up and how hard you work. it just continues to impress me. being the person with the least amount of service on the board and the youngest person on the board, i've got an opportunity to learn from all of you. in a way that i deeply appreciate. but i think our relationship really went to another level in china when we got some time to really connect on a personal level and talk about our lives and our aspirations. i've been really impressed from a distance, seeing how you have handled the last year. i know how close you were to the mayor and how hard that was for you. and to lose a parent, obviously,
3:10 pm
is a great loss. and, you know, and after, the sun rises and you have an opportunity to do something new and exciting in a place that is fast-paced, where obviously someone is pushing very innovative ideas and pushing against the status quo. so this is as much exciting as it is, you know, bitter for us. thank you for your leadership and i will be calling you. [laughter] >> calling you for advice and suggestions. before i open this up for the vice president, i do want to acknowledge, personally, you know, my family came here in the mid-1940s. my great grandfather came here with an eighth grade education to work for the shipyard at hunter's point. because he wanted a better life
3:11 pm
for his family and his wife brought his six kids here to move to hayes valley. he ended up finishing his education as an adult at mission high school. so i don't think he ever imagined that he would have a descendent that would be president of the board of education. so mr harris and his wife amanda , and my daughter -- and his daughter dorothy, who is my grandmother, thank you for all the sacrifices you have put in place, for a promise i continues to benefit for generations to come. i hope to serve with you in mind to make you proud, and also to help inspire a new generation of leaders. people who are growing up in a city like president mendoza did and to take leadership in the city.
3:12 pm
so, i am excited about serving as president on the board of education. for the rest of the year. and we will see what the future holds. with that, i want to remind the board and the public that this type of -- we have to open it up for the vice president and i will follow the script. i want to remind the boat -- the board in the public that this type of election is by voice and a second is not needed for nominations and it is permissible for a member to vote for him or herself in this election. i will be clear, nominations are now open for vice president of the board of education for the remainder of the year, 2018 and i have a nomination. i will nominate commissioner mark sanchez as vice president. he has a little more experience than me. this is the second time around and it has been a great honor to watch him work. i think that his approach is
3:13 pm
very site centred. that he has been a fierce advocate and he is my nomination for vice president. i will now open it up for other nominations. if there are no further nominations, i declare nominations closed. board members, you will be voting by name. >> and i move that we do this as there are no other nominations? >> yes. [laughter] >> i think that does have to be seconded. perfect. [laughter] >> mark sanchez has been elected vice president of the board of education for the remainder of the 2018 year. [applause] [laughter]
3:14 pm
>> i will be out the door before you know it. you can't slow me down. [laughter] >> thank you. >> ok. section g. special business. mi in the right place? -- am i in the right place? >> consent calendar. items removed at previous meetings that are on tonight. section jay, introduction of proposals on assignment and assignment to committee. number 1, public and board comments on proposals.

[inaudible] >> ok. six and two. ok. board members proposal 189 developing a community-based assignment system for sfusd commissioners. number 3, board members proposal 1892582 in support of languages. number 4, board policy of 30 to 30, federal grant funds and board policy 290.

number 5, board policy 3320 claims actions against the district. number 6 pack policy 3514, environmental safety and board policy 3514.1. we do have public comment on this item. joshua davidson? >> hello again. josh davidson. we represent the environmental health workers called asbestos worker who are charged with implementing the policies around hazardous materials providing professional development to other stuff that may interact with hazardous materials and overseeing contracts of vendors that remediate asbestos and lead things of that nature.
3:17 pm
i am glad you are advising and updating the policies around this important work. i would encourage you to fund the department that oversees the work. right now, there are three people in this department. it used to be 16. those three people are literally unable to visit all of the sites to do things like inventory. it is just physically impossible for them to get all the work done in any given school year. they need more support. during the negotiations, we proposed that we identify a training program. historically, we have trained and promoted custodians to do this work. it is an excellent career path for them and many of them already have expertise with hazardous materials. your negotiators were unwilling to discuss this proposal. i'd encourage you to go back to them and see if there is another venue in which we could have that discussion. now i want to take 30 seconds to mate -- say nice things about hydra.
3:18 pm
i bring thanks from hundreds of our members who have the opportunity for permanent civil service jobs, health insurance, who have stable lives they can properly contribute to the school communities. because of the advocacy you did at city hall to make sure that we got through all of the bureaucratic difficulties and actually addressed the underlying issues and needs of the people who worked here and the work they do for us on the school district. we really could not have done it without you. i also want to say i come from a place, i am out of time. thank you for your professionalism and your detail. >> i will jump back up. i see that i have time on numbe. i have marie shut robinson. rwanda for number 2.
3:19 pm
>> there was a mistake on that card. that should have said hope williams. >> see how they do meekly all right. i am hope -- to see how do me? all right. it is with a heavy heart that we stand here this evening to address resolution on student assignment that will deeply impact our students and families and that we know, as the organization, a group supported by the school district and board of education, are merely an afterthought in crafting this resolution. along with various other parent groups at sfusd, we are left with many questions and a great feeling of discouragement. we agreed that the current student assignment process has flaws and has not served our
3:20 pm
african-american families. we also agree that something has to shift in this process. but before we jump ship and switched switch out to one failed process into a potential other, we need to investigate the systemic issues and practices that have created this mess that we are now trying to work together to save. the conditions of our schools, the misaligned resources, the failure to identify and address the root causes, must be addressed first. we ask that this process be halted until authentic stakeholder engagement and a deeper look at the real problem have been conducted. we stand with the request of the packed that all advisory council
3:21 pm
are brought to the table prior to moving forward. we also ask the board to recognize the implications of this proposal. and what it would mean for our most vulnerable populations. as we see it, this resolution is vague. it lacks concrete steps. and where we appreciate you inviting us to the conversation, we would like for you to pause it until we are at the table. thank you. [applause] >> good evening, commissioners. she has already expressed my feelings and i'll express my feelings as a parent. i came to this district in 2013. and even though the lottery
3:22 pm
system has it's flaws, i could have learned it. i got my son's application in anti- came in mid year eighth grade. i was told that there were no openings but valley middle school. which i quickly learned, that was a process. we got through his eighth grade year and i got his application in early the way i was supposed to and he got his choice. the lottery system has flaws, but if we educate families on how to use it, it will work and it will work to their advantage. my daughter who is only in the fourth grade, when she heard about willie brown she said mom, you have to get that location because if he gets in, i get sibling preference. so if i am a fourth-grader who can get it, why can't we teach the process to adults. it has flaws but it will work. and history has proven that it will work. all we have to do is educate our families and get out to where families are. when we hosted the roman tonight , we had more
3:23 pm
african-americans turn in applications because we went to them and we showed them what it is. we explained to them the importance of the first round. that is all it takes. we don't have to slap it and throw it away. it will work if we work at. and hydra, we want to thank you for all the tireless work that you have put in and for me, you were a tireless advocate at willie brown. i thank you so much. [applause] >> i am here as chair of the community advisory committee to echo the statement and ask as a member of the joint advisory committee, to discuss this resolution before he moves forward. thank you.

3:35 pm
. >> thank you to all of you for being here. to the mayor's office for dreaming this project up with us in the first place, to supervisor kim for showing us how to do it, and to the mayor today for sharing the space with us. and especially to the community here in the tenderloin who have welcomed us over the last two years. we're here because we know the power of community owned businesses to create opportunities for asset generation in low-income communities and for everyone. my first informal meal in the bay area was at a small table in a one bedroom apartment at leavenworth and hyde. they took orders from myself and ten strangers, delivering some of the most delicious mexico
3:36 pm
city style food in the business. the tenderloin, like all communities that faced economic barriers has a really vibrant economy. we've worked with low-income and women entrepreneurs across the bay for 13 years. although cocina has won numerous awards, their air of mothers that cook in s.r.o.'s that cook for each other. there are sidewalk barbecues nearly every day and the best bay areas that gauadalupe's goig to tell you about in a bit. this represents not just the soul of this city but the soul of other cities.
3:37 pm
this project aims to celebrate all. it's a public space fuelled by women entrepreneurs and focused on equitiable place making and economic opportunity. i saw an interview with mayor breed the other day where she noted some of her favorite places toet were eddy's cafe and pancho villa. food businesses are obvious the first step a family can take towards economic freedom. their physical claiming of space in our neighborhoods and cities, and they're representations of the places that we live. when we run up against road blocks in the two years that we've been considering this project, we've wondered if we
3:38 pm
can't do this, and then, who would want to live in a place that doesn't make opportunities possible? this is the risk, the crisis that our cities are in. we believe that all cities can do what we are doing here. through public support, private investment and community power, we plan to build the first all women led food hall in the country. those talented women will hire -- [applause] >> those talented women will hire and create pathways to wealth while serving the communities that raised them and creating a space where everyone is welcome. it's a place for families, workers, lunches, homework, and dreaming. we ask you today to imagine what that place could be while you're in this space, what this space could mean to a community. but also, have you to imagine what it might mean for places like that not to exist anymore. imagine a city without those dreamers, without those foods. we are so excited to show you
3:39 pm
how possible a better city is. thank you for believing in us and being here today. thank you to supervisor kim and a really special thank you to mayor breed, who joins us today. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: good afternoon, everybody. i am so excited to be here today. i walked in the room, and it really smelled like my grandmother's house. ho now, my grandmother was a great cook, and people on the street that i grew up, on eddy and laguna, always knew they could come by at certain times of year to buy things. my grandmother made the best tamales, the best gumbo. and some of you may not know what hog's head cheese is, but hog's head cheese. she made them a lot of times
3:40 pm
with the free food we received from the government. she could make the best macaroni and cheese from the cheese that we received from the government. some of you know what i'm talking about. part of our ability to survive had a lot to do with my grandmother being an entrepreneur in public housing where she offered up what she was able to do. what an incredible thing to do here today, to give so many amazing women, especially the support that this provides to minority women and women of our immigrant community who are looking for an opportunity to support their families with their talents, with their amazing food. and it means a lot that so many of you here today have worked to make something like this possible, to take a space that is going to be used for even more good when we are able to invest the necessary dollars for our much needed affordable
3:41 pm
housing here, to use it in this capacity, is going to make this an incredible space full of excitement, full of love, and yes, full of great food. so i just wanted to stop by and stay congratulations for your efforts. thank you, caleb and supervisor kim for your leadership and having the foresight to see that you could make something like this possible. and also enthuse for being one of the few events that i'm able to attend where there is food, because food is, i think, something that brings so many people together. i was actually at glide yesterday, and someone who remembered me, she used to baby-sit me, and she said that my grandmother used to feed her as a way to pay her to baby-sit us when we were kids. i mean, i didn't remember her, but clearly, she knew my grandmother, my mama, priscilla.
3:42 pm
clearly, food is something that brings people together. it makes people happy, and what an incredible way to share your talents with the world and also make a lot of san franciscans happy. thank you all so much for being here, and please, support these businesses when you see them out and about, get to know them, and use them for catering opportunities. what a great way to support businesses than here's a way to use them for ways in which they could actually benefit people throughout san francisco, and i'm looking forward to seeing this place come to life, so they are also, i know, looking for more donations. i know this was a partnership with the city, but we are definitely looking for more did he -- donations to make this dream for so many more women a reality. thank you for being here today. with that, i'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you to
3:43 pm
the supervisor for this district, supervisor jane kim. [applause] >> supervisor kim: thank you, mayor breed for joining us in the tenderloin neighborhood. i always like to call this your second district. it is so great to be here today. 101 hyde has always been a special place for our residents because so many residents live in single room occupancy hotels where they don't have access to mail. this was the space where people could get their checks, be connected to the world, and when the post office shut this site down with federal budget cuts, it was a huge loss for our community. and when we learned that it was sold to built market race housing, i think that was one of the more depressing news and updates in this neighborhood.
3:44 pm
but for whatever reason when the owner wasn't able to build, and we were negotiating, market street for the masses, they said you know what? we really need affordable housing that our residents can afford, and they often can't afford the inclusionary housing in the market rate buildings. through that negotiation with many people that were here in the room, over the course of those weeks, we negotiated a deal where shore sea agreed to buy this property so we could donate it for 100% affordable housing. [applause] >> supervisor kim: however, we know that building housing takes time and randy shaw had the f e
3:45 pm
forsy foresight to know that that it may take ten years to build it for the community. over the last two years, we have seen an up tick in activities with the closure of this site. so we want to make sure that the block was activated. randy suggested that we bring in a marketplace similar to the hall on market street where we could showcase our residents and develop a meeting that could be -- a site that would be a community hub, a place to eat, and of course a place where we can showcase our immigrant entrepreneurs. a little over 30 years ago, my mom was able to bring together loans from different family members and friends to open a small business, and through that small business, she was able to grow an income for my family and eventually buy a home. being able to incubate a small business for so many of our immigrant women, it's what
3:46 pm
allows our families to grow in our city, to contribute to our economy, but also raise our families here in the city. la cocina has been that incubator site, and i'm so happy they were able to come in. this was not easy to do. it took a lot of advocacy, a lot of fund raising, and also city support. and i want to recognize mayor breed and the office for committing additional funds to make sure that we could deliver this site in an affordable manner, and delivering in an affordable manner means that we can reduce the prices on the menus so that residents can afford to eat here, as well, and that's -- [applause] jane jac>> supervisor kim: tha commitment that la cocina and the city has made so that all of the residents can enjoy food her every single day. so i want to thank all of the partners that were involved. i'm so excited to come here and
3:47 pm
try the food of many prir entrepreneurs. i think many of us would not be able to standup to the chefs that this neighborhood has, and we're all excited for its opening. thank you to everyone involved. [applause] >> hello. i am operations manager at la cocina. i would like to introduce you to guadalupe morena. she is owner of la cocina, and she will share her story. [speaking spanish]
3:49 pm
[applause] >> i am now going to be translating that for guadalupe. hello. my name is guadalupe morena, and i want to welcome you to my neighborhood. i live here with my husband and three kids. when we arrived in mexico, we picked this neighborhood because the rents were reasonable and because the rest of my family lived here. we came to this area because my husba husband's sister, veronica salazar, also lives here. now i'm starting my own business at la cocina, it's called
3:50 pm
m mi morena. i love sharing my mexican culture with people. i cook for you like i cook for my family. we sell at the mission community market on thursdays, and i'm really excited to think that next year in this old post office we could share our food to our neighborhood. i think it's going to be something wonderful for this area to have a space we can come to with our families, eat lunch and dinner and just relax and enjoy. we don't really have anyplaces like this, so the marketplace is going to be very important for my family. thank you for this opportunity that la cocina and the city of san francisco has given us. for me as a local resident, entrepreneur and immigrant woman, i really appreciate your support. thank you. [applause] >> and i'm now going to introduce karina mora.
3:53 pm
[applause] >> okay. i have called the tenderloin my home for the last ten years, since i left yucatan, mexico. i am the mother of a six-year-old daughter, raquel, who brings joy to my life. la voz is primarily a resource center but focuses on the economic and social development of our community. for this reason, i listened to the proposal of caleb and his team, and i'm happy to be part of the team in the tenderloin to make it a reality. on several occasions i have expressed my desire to make a radical change of this portion of market street. it's time for hyde street 101 to be known for its delicious and
3:54 pm
affordable food and not for the sale of drugs. i want to give you a welcome to la cocina. [applause] >> karen taylor from central city collaboratives. >> hello, everyone. my name's karen. i'm very happy to be here. i have been a resident of the tenderloin neighborhood since 2005. this neighborhood is underserved. there are 11 stores within a three block radius of where i live where you can purchase cigarettes, liquor, cheap candy, and lottery tickets. there are no grocery stores. if you want a safeway or a target, you have to take a bus. if you would like the more economical options, foodco, food
3:55 pm
4 less, you have to ride that bus even further. the addition of la cocina is filling a need in the tenderloin for fresh food at reasonable prices. la cocina does bring additional benefits to this neighborhood in addition to the delicious food. i once derelict corner gets revitalized, becoming an oasis where people can gather and have a good time. the people who work hard to maybe this happen, neighborhood organizations, residents, entrepreneurs, get a victory, and well done, i might say. much needed advancement, another area where this neighborhood is underserved is broad here so that people who live in this neighborhood can have opportunities here where they improve their circumstances, where they serve this community and provide things that we need
3:56 pm
and where they build their futures right where they live. the quality of life in this neighborhood improves with the addition of the la cocina marketplace. seniors, disabled people, young children, old people, all get benefits out of this. people that can't travel far can travel closer to home for healthy options with nutrition. people who struggle with illness now have a vital resource for staying healthy, good food. parents that work long and hard hours to keep their families housed in the t.l. will have closer options for feeding those families. this is a wonderful project, and it is a welcome addition to the tenderloin neighborhood. long live the market cocina.
