for the staff. making it -- i don't know what we can provide. i have had personally the training. i instituted at both schools as principal. we saw great results overtime. i think we need make i it it's happening as much as possible. if we look at the schools on the new slides that the heat maps, all the ones in the red at the bottom red, we should prioritize those schools. we need it make sure that those schools are not just encouraged but given lot of encourage to get there. do you have any comments on that?

>> no. that's one of the things you want to ask yourself when looking at the heat map. one of the things there's been myriad of training. someone has r.p. training. it's really important for the administrator at every school to assess, who's got what training. when we go to our faculty meeting if you been trained in pbis i want to give you time to talk about what's happening with pbis. if you been trained in deescalation, there's someone at that school had that training.

i think that's a good practice to mow who's been trained. >> commissioner moliga: , of course we want to address the absentee. i don't want that to be our focus. at the end of the day and suspensions are happening far reason. you guys have great people on your family. i work with some of you guys. some -- i'm thinking in my head, are we tracking why are these kids getting suspended. what are folks -- like how many

of the kids are coming from like single family homes where there was shooting last night in the community. i really want to make sure we're addressing the core issue. the core issues. i know we can do it. if there's an opportunity for us to be able to start collecting that data, and then also working with our community school's model and city and county and really understanding how then can we really start to get these kids and these families services. that is like -- we're going to be social workers and academic focused at the same time. i say that very respectfully. i want to ask you guys, these red schools on the bottom, if you let us know what those red

schools are. if you guys can shout those out real quick. if we're solving these issues, other stuff will go away. moving forward it will be great if we can identify those and throw them in themes. make life five -- maybe like five of those. >> president cook: i appreciate all the comments tonight. all the questions -- we had lot of great questions in public comment and questions from my

colleagues. we had this presentation, it's always feel like hard night to be on board of education. there's a reason i wanted to be here. the more i get these presentations, the less confidence that i have that we can solve this by ourselves. it seems a bit inadequate, i know this under your shop, lot of the interventions are being driven by the people that report to you. nor are those people held accountable by you. you presented so us, you sent out some sort of -- you ask what they are doing. they tell your office what they are doing.

it seems when we get these presentations, we highlight particular school it's kind of a surprise. we didn't know what the school sites that were strong. we found a couple and we'll talk about them tonight. that's really discouraging to know that after all these years we've been focused on this work. we haven't been able to be at least hire some of these skills. how are we focusing on hiring process and bring people on board that have the scales to work at sites and be effective at these sites. two sites are the greatest need.

if there's any type of reducti reduction, it's one percentage point. i'm responsible for these numbers. i think resident of the city that really cares about public education should be holding this board accountable. we should be discouraged but by our inability to get our arms around this. .it's really appropriate. you'll see these numbers a as.

we don't have idea to do that or the schools doing that well. >> of course we do. we have an ability to understand what's happening. do you know how many times this past week parent had an tragic -- there are staff that know the schools very well and as far as informed practices -- >> commissioner sanchez: you're not let me finish the point.

>> commissioner moliga: if we have good work happening in that area, we aren't selling that to see been. we if we have good people doing that, we don't have a report that says that's happening. does that make sense? i feel -- >> when we look attrition plans and basis, it's pretty important information there. i think when our social workers and nurses have students success team, we do track the interventions in bases. you can chart the effectiveness of those interventions.

sometimes when student studentsn i'll crises and track the instances. the stephen having this conferencenings.conferenceningst of that very personal data in bases. we do track that. we can see the chart that says is that impact on that student. we have these discussions. every week on many occasions. i think the social worker temperatur--when schools go thrs or they having a challenge with a particular team, this is student support team of restorative practices coaches and supervisors that people serves.

they go out with -- there are support staff that are doing an amazing work to get desirable results to support students having challenges. that school site support can be very personal at the a school. everyday there's teams of people that is sitting down with staff at specific school. we try to address these issues.

>> commissioner moliga: that work is saving lives and we don't even have a way to see how that's improved overtime. keep on doing that. you have a partner in me i want to see you stick around. i want to see when we have these presentations. i think this is a crises in our

city. i think the city family should be thinking about what we can be doing to support our young people to stay in school. we mentioned a partnership earlier today and they have really incredible overview of the gangs happening with kids in the school. kids in school they are learning. the regressions we see are always around teacher leaving mid--year which happens at some in the southeast.

>> let me just turn -- she checks all the data. >> good evening. i'm supervisor. i basically support all elementary school. overseeing the collection of the t.f.i. data, we've been able to collect data from all but two elementary schools and one of those elementary schools is because they had principal who's leaving and they didn't have their team together. we're missing one middle school and one high school. we've done a great job this year. i have to thank the team and the

t.s.a. for doing all the work they did this year. >> thank you for that work. is that something we can -- for 13 questions elove to see school by school. >> we in the process of going back and identifying the components in the t.s.i. >> really appreciate that work. thank you. >> president cook: thank you. section i, consent calendar calendar items removed. section j, introduction of proposals and assignment to committee. number one is public and board

>> good evening. i'm a parent of second grader at creative arts charter school. i've been part of the school community for three years. i want to share parent perspective in being part of the creative arts community. it's really important for me as someone who's committed to social justice that the school a union school. this is an important value for me as a parent. also, i'm impressed and have been with the diversity equity inclusion efforts. i've been part -- i've been active parent member of the committee. i wanted to share some of the things that we've been working on. i know that concern at the last petition go around for creative arts was diversity issues. this something that i've taken on myself and with other parents at the school to address.

we have engaged in significant level of parent education so we brought in experts on talking to your kids about race, addressing bias, we did parent work sho won gender diversity. we've created a unity group which is a group for families of color to create welcoming environment for the families of color. we've convened on a social base. we create community together. we think about ways that the school can improve on diversity equity inclusion issues. the school has been wonderful partner and supportive all these efforts. i ask for your consideration of

the petition. >> good evening. i'm julie martin. we discussed this issue this weekend at our board meeting. we really want to acknowledge and appreciate the fact that creative arts charter has chosen to be part of the sfusd. also, the other thing that came up is because of its alternative options because all the creative programming the arts and different options for students, it is really attractive schools with students with disability. it's chance for them to shine

outside of academics. it's a school sought out by special education students. however, the thing that came across, unfortunately, loud and clear for many of our board members and it's something you might have personal experience. the rigor and special education services are provided at creative arts charter. it's not always there. while the format of the school works for students, the rigor how i.e.p.s are implemented and what is happening a school site and how procedures are handled is not always there. we would ask in future they look at improving i.e.p. implementation. >> president cook: thank you. first readingdsuperintendent

as a society we've basically failed big portion of our population if you think about the basics of food, shelter safety a lot of people don't have any of those i'm mr. cookie can't speak for all the things but i know say, i have ideas how we can address the food issue. >> open the door and walk through that don't just stand looking out. >> as they grew up in in a how would that had access to good food and our parent cooked this is how you feed yours this is not happening in our country

this is a huge pleasure i'm david one of the co-founder so about four year ago we worked with the serviced and got to know the kid one of the things we figured out was that they didn't know how to cook. >> i heard about the cooking school through the larkin academy a. >> their noting no way to feed themselves so they're eating a lot of fast food and i usually eat whatever safeway is near my home a lot of hot food i was excited that i was eating lunch enough instead of what and eat. >> as i was inviting them over teaching them basic ways to fix good food they were so existed. >> particle learning the skills

and the food they were really go it it turned into the is charity foundation i ran into my friend we were talking about this this do you want to run this charity foundations and she said, yes. >> i'm a co-found and executive director for the cooking project our best classes participation for 10 students are monday they're really fun their chief driven classes we have a different guest around the city they're our stand alone cola's we had a series or series still city of attorney's office style of classes our final are night life diners. >> santa barbara shall comes in and helps us show us things and

this is one the owners they help us to socialize and i've been here about a year. >> we want to be sure to serve as many as we can. >> the san francisco cooking school is an amazing amazing partner. >> it is doing that in that space really elevates the space for the kids special for the chief that make it easy for them to come and it really makes the experience pretty special. >> i'm sutro sue set i'm a chief 2, 3, 4 san francisco. >> that's what those classes afford me the opportunity it breakdown the barriers and is this is not scary this is our choice about you many times this is a feel good what it is that you give them is an opportunity you have to make it seem like

it's there for them for the taking show them it is their and they can do that. >> hi, i'm antonio the chief in san francisco. >> the majority of kids at that age in order to get them into food they need to see something simple and the evidence will show and easy to produce i want to make sure that people can do it with a bowl and spoon and burner and one pan. >> i like is the receipts that are simple and not feel like it's a burden to make foods the cohesives show something eased. >> i go for vera toilet so someone can't do it or its way out of their range

we only use 6 ingredients i can afford 6 ingredient what good is showing you them something they can't use but the sovereignties what are you going to do more me you're not successful. >> we made a vegetable stir-fry indicators he'd ginger and onion that is really affordable how to balance it was easy to make the food we present i loved it if i having had access to a kitchen i'd cook more. >> some of us have never had a kitchen not taught how to cookie wasn't taught how to cook. >> i have a great appreciation for programs that teach kids

food and cooking it is one of the healthiest positive things you can communicate to people that are very young. >> the more programs like the cooking project in general that can have a positive impact how our kids eat is really, really important i believe that everybody should venting to utilize the kitchen and meet other kids their age to identify they're not alone and their ways in which to pick yours up and move forward that. >> it is really important to me the opportunity exists and so i do everything in my power to keep it that. >> we'll have our new headquarters in the heart of the tenderloin at taylor and kushlg

at the end of this summer 2014 we're really excited. >> a lot of the of the conditions in san francisco they have in the rest of the country so our goal to 257bd or expand out of the san francisco in los angeles and then after that who know. >> we'd never want to tell people want to do or eat only provide the skills and the tools in case that's something people are 2rrd in doing. >> you can't buy a box of psyche you have to put them in the right vein and direction with the right kids with a right place address time those kids don't have this you have to instill they can do it they're good enough now to finding out figure out and find the future

>> i'm rebecca and i'm a violinist and violin teacher. i was born here in san francisco to a family of cellists, professional cellists, so i grew up surrounded by a bunch of musical rehearsals an lessons. all types of activities happened in my house. i began playing piano when i was 4. i really enjoyed musical activities in general. so when i was 10, i began studying violin in san francisco. and from there, i pretty much never stopped and went on to study in college as well. that's the only thing i've ever known is to have music playing all the time, whether it

is someone actually playing next to you or someone listening to a recording. i think that i actually originally wanted to play flute and we didn't have a flute. it's always been a way of life. i didn't know that it could be any other way. >> could you give me an e over here. great. when you teach and you're seeing a student who has a problem, you have to think on your feet to solve that problem. and that same kind of of thinking that you do to fix it applies to your own practice as well. so if i'm teaching a student and they are having a hard time getting a certain note, they can't find the right note. and i have to think of a digestible way to explain it to them. ee, d, d, e. >> yes.

then, when i go on to do my own practice for a performance, those words are echoing back in my head. okay. why am i missing this? i just told somebody that they needed to do this. maybe i should try the same thing. i feel a lot of pressure when i'm teaching young kids. you might think that there is less pressure if they are going on to study music or in college that it is more relaxing. i actually find that the opposite is true. if i know i'm sending a high school student to some great music program, they're going to get so much more instruction. what i have told them is only the beginning. if i am teaching a student who i know is going to completely change gears when they go to college and they never will pick up a violin again there is so much that i need to tell them. in plain violin, it is so difficult. there is so much more information to give. every day

i think, oh, my gosh. i haven't gotten to this technique or we haven't studies they meese and they have so much more to do. we only have 45 minutes a week. i have taught a few students in some capacity who has gone on to study music. that feels anaysing. >> it is incredible to watch how they grow. somebody can make amazing project from you know, age 15 to 17 if they put their mind to it. >> i think i have 18 students now. these more than i've had in the past. i'm hoping to build up more of a studio. there will be a pee ono, lots of bookshelves and lots of great music. the students will come to my house and take their lessons there. my schedule changes a lot on a day-to-day basis and that kind of keeps it exciting.

think that music is just my favorite thing that there is, whether it's listening to it or playing it or teaching it. all that really matters to me is that i'm surrounded by the sounds, so i'm going top keep doing what i'm doing to keep my life in that direction. >> for the first time in nearly two decades fishers have been granted the legal right to sell fish directly to the package right off their boat -- to the public right off their boats in san francisco.

it's not only helping local fishers to stay afloat but it's evoking the spirit of the wharf by resurfacing the traditional methods of selling fish. but how is it regulated? and what does it take for a boat to be transported into a floating fish market? find out as we hop on board on this episode of "what's next sf." (♪) we're here with the owner and the captain of the vessel pioneer. it's no coincidence that your boat is called the pioneer because it's doing just that. it's the first boat in san francisco to sell fish directly from the boat. how did you establish your boat into such a floating fish market? >> well, you know, i always thought that it would be nice to be able to provide fresh fish to the locals because most of the fish markets, you would have to do a large amount of volume in order to bring in enough fish to cover the overhead. when you start selling to the public that volume is much less

so it makes it hard to make enough money. so being able to do this is really -- it's a big positive thing i think for the entire community. >> a very positive thing. as a third-generation fisherman joe as his friends call him has been trawling the california waters for sustainably caught seafood since an early age. since obtaining a permit to sell fish directly to the public he is able to serve fish at an affordable price. >> right now we're just selling what a lot of the markets like, flat fish and rock fish and what the public likes. so we have been working for many, many years and putting cameras in them. there's the ability to short fish and we have panels that we open and close so we target the different species of fish by adjusting the net. and then not only that but then the net sort out the sizes which is really important. >> joe brings in a lot of fish, around 20,000 pounds per fishing trip to be exact. >> we had one day one time that

we sold almost 18,000 pounds. >> it's incredible. >> i know, it's hard to imagine. >> but this wasn't always the case for joe. >> the markets that we have left in california, they're few and far between, and they really are restrictive. they'll let you fish for a couple months and shut you down. a lot of times it's rough weather and if you can't make your delivery you will lose your rotation. that's why there's hardly any boats left in california because of the market challenges. my boat was often sitting over here at the dock for years and i couldn't do anything with it because we had no market. the ability to go catch fish is fine, i had the permits, but you couldn't take them off your boat. >> that was until the port commission of san francisco rallied behind them and voted unanimously to approve a pilot program to allow the fish to be sold directly to consumers right off their boats. >> the purpose of the program is to allow commercial fishers to sell their fish directly from their boats to the end consumer in a safe and orderly manner for

the benefit of the overall fishing community at the port of san francisco. we have limited the program to certain types of fish such as salmon, halibut, tuna and rock fish. crab is restricted from this program because we did not want to interfere with the existing crab sales on taylor street and jefferson street. so this is not meant to favor one aspect of the fishing industry more than another. it's to basically to lift up the whole industry together. >> and if joe the program has been doing just that. >> it was almost breathtaking whenever i woke up one morning and i got my federal receiver, my first receivers license in the mail. and that gave me permission to actually take fish off my boat. once we started to be able to sell, it opened things up a bit. because now that we have that federal permit and i was able to ppetition the city council and getting permission from san

francisco to actually use the dock and to sell fish here, it was a big turning point. because we really didn't think or know that we'd get such a positive response from the public. and so we're getting thousands of people coming down here buying fish every week and so that's pretty cool. they like the fish so much that they take pictures of it when they cook it and they send us all of these pictures and then they ask us, you know, constantly for certain types of fish now. and when they come down here the one thing that they say is that they're so amazed that the fish is so fresh they could eat a little bit during the week and it's still fresh all week in the refrigerator. so that's really cool. >> the fish is very fresh and the price is super. i don't think that you can get it anywhere in the bay area. i can see it, and i can stir fry it, wow, you can do anything you want. i just can say this is a good place to shop and you have a

good experience. >> this program supports the strategic plan in terms of engagement, people being connected to the waterfront, and also economic vitality. because it's helping the fishermen to make ends meet. they have no guarantees in their businesses, not like some people, and we want to do everything that we can to help them to have a good and thriving business. >> how does it feel to be able to sell your fish locally kind of in the traditional way, like your grandfather probably did? >> when i was a kid and i used to work in my dad's fish market, a lot of the markets that we sell to now are second and third and fourth generation markets. so i remember as a kid putting their tags on the boxes of fish that we shipped out of monterey and ship down to l.a. so it's kind of cool that we're still dealing with the same families. and this is probably about the only way that anyone can really survive in california is to sell

your own fish. >> one of the advantages of this program is the department people that pull in the fish, they can find out where they caught it and find out more about the fisherman and that adds to their experience. the feedback from the fishers has been very good and the feedback from the customers have very good. and there's a lot of people coming to the wharf now that might not have done so. in fact, there's people that go through the neighboring restaurants that are going to eat fish inside but before they go in they see the action on the dock and they want to kind of look at what's happening on the boat before they go in and they have a meal. so it's generated some conversation down at the wharf and that's a good thing. >> as you can see by the line forming behind me getting ready to buy fish, the pilot program has been a huge success. for more information visit sfsport.com.

>> welcome. my name is caroline, i am the director of community real estate at mission economic development agency. happy new year, welcome to 25 sanchez who have not been here before. i returned to the -- as we turn the calendar to 2019, it is a perfect time to reflect on new beginnings, and that is definitely the case. looking around at this refurbished property, i'm delighted to see a prime example of collective impact. it was four and a half years ago when taking on the city's call for nonprofits to take on the rental assistance demonstration, rad for short, it seems like a daunting process for us. after all, this was a brand-new process for us
