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 comment of proposals.

>> 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 proposal 191, 15sp1

>> i am the supervisor of district one. i am sandra lee fewer. [♪] >> i moved to the richmond district in 1950 mine. i was two years old. i moved from chinatown and we were one of the first asian families to move out here. [♪] >> when my mother decided to buy that house, nobody knew where it was. it seems so far away. for a long time, we were the only chinese family there but we started to see the areas of growth to serve a larger chinese population. the stress was storage of the birthplace of that. my father would have to go to chinatown for dim sum and i remember one day he came home and said, there is one here now. it just started to grow very organically. it is the same thing with the

russian population, which is another very large ethnic group in the richmond district. as russia started to move in, we saw more russian stores. so parts of the richmond is very concentrated with the russian community and immigrant russian community, and also a chinese immigrant community. [♪] >> i think as living here in the richmond, we really appreciate the fact that we are surrounded three natural barriers. they are beautiful barriers. the presidio which gives us so many trails to walk through, ocean beach, for families to just go to the beach and be in the pacific ocean. we also also have a national park service. we boarded the golden gate national recreation area so there is a lot of activity to do in the summer time you see

people with bonfires. but really families enjoying the beach and the pacific ocean during the rest of the time of year. [♪] >> and golden gate park where we have so many of our treasures here. we have the tea garden, the museum and the academy of sciences. not to mention the wonderful playgrounds that we have here in richmond. this is why i say the richmond is a great place for families. the theatre is a treasure in our neighborhood. it has been around for a very long time. is one of our two neighborhood theatres that we have here. i moved here when i was 1959 when i was two years old. we would always go here. i love these neighborhood theatres. it is one of the places that has not only a landmark in the richmond district, but also in san francisco. small theatres showing one or two films.

a unique -- they are unique also to the neighborhood and san francisco. >> where we are today is the heart of the richmond district. with what is unique is that it is also small businesses. there is a different retail here it is mom and pop opening up businesses. and providing for the neighborhood. this is what we love about the streets. the cora door starts on clement street and goes all the way down to the end of clement where you will see small businesses even towards 32nd. at the core of it is right here between here and 20 -- tenth avenue. when we see this variety of stores offered here, it is very unique then of the -- any other part of san francisco. there is traditional irish music which you don't get hardly anywhere in san francisco. some places have this long

legacy of serving ice cream and being a hangout for families to have a sunday afternoon ice cream. and then also, we see grocery stores. and also these restaurants that are just new here, but also thriving. [♪] >> we are seeing restaurants being switched over by hand, new owners, but what we are seeing is a vibrancy of clement street still being recaptured within new businesses that are coming in. that is a really great thing to see. i don't know when i started to shop here, but it was probably a very, very long time ago. i like to cook a lot but i like to cook chinese food. the market is the place i like to come to once a year. once i like about the market as it is very affordable. it has fresh produce and fresh meat. also, seafood. but they also offer a large

selection of condiments and sauces and noodles. a variety of rice that they have is tremendous. i don't thank you can find a variety like that anywhere else. >> hi. i am kevin wong. i am the manager. in 1989 we move from chinatown to richmond district. we have opened for a bit, over 29 years. we carry products from thailand, japan, indonesia, vietnam, singapore and india. we try to keep everything fresh daily. so a customer can get the best out a bit. >> normally during crab season in november, this is the first place i hit. because they have really just really fresh crab. this is something my family really likes for me to make. also, from my traditional chinese food, i love to make a kale soup.

they cut it to the size they really want. i am probably here once a week. i'm very familiar with the aisles and they know everyone who is a cashier -- cashier here i know when people come into a market such as this, it looks like an asian supermarkets, which it is and sometimes it can be intimidating. we don't speak the language and many of the labels are in chinese, you may not know what to buy or if it is the proper ingredients for the recipe are trying to make. i do see a lot of people here with a recipe card or sometimes with a magazine and they are looking for specific items. the staff here is very helpful. i speak very little chinese here myself. thinks that i'm not sure about, i asked the clerk his and i say is this what i need? is this what i should be making? and they actually really helped me. they will bring me to the aisle and say this is battery. they are very knowledgeable. very friendly. i think they are here to serve not only the asian community but to serve all communities in the

richmond district and in san francisco. [♪] >> what is wonderful about living here is that even though our july is a very foggy and overcast, best neighborhood, the sleepy part outside on the west side is so rich with history, but also with all the amenities that are offered. [♪] >> can you hear me okay? good. good morning, everyone. good morning everyone. good morning everyone. thank you. thank you very much. isn't this an inset -- an exciting time?

, it is exciting. when i look around this room, we are always talking about young people, the millennium his, here they are, here they are in their glory. we help bring them here. here they are in their glory. [applause] >> this is the day. this is the day you have been working for, and that we have all been working for, and that we are excited to see. this is the day that you will represent your district, and you will serve the people of san francisco. [applause] >> it is important to remember, take it from me, i know, that you are a public servant, and whenever you get a little confused, and whenever things

happen that you wonder about, you are a public servant. that keeps you grounded. unless you know who you are here for, and that is why we know that our safety city will be in good hands. our city will be in good hands. [applause] our city will be in good hands for people who care, for people who have a heart, for people who understand. the people who have a balance, that will not allow themselves to be put in one bag or another, because they know that it does not fit them or us well? thank you again for running. and think all of you for being there for support. without you, your dreams don't come true. without you, and we can't stop, you have to be there. you have to support. you have to give money where it

is necessary. you have to volunteer and make sure that office and the phones are manned. we need to for those sakes. and we are also so lucky in the city to have a bright, bold, beautiful understanding, carrying, loving person as our mayor. can you imagine that? [applause] nothing ordinary. nothing ordinary. only extraordinary. only extraordinary. --dash so they show that you deserve the leadership that you get. let's make sure that you deserve the leadership that you get and that we have. air breed. [applause] >> let's give the supervisor

another hand. she talked about public service and she has been a public servant to our city for so many years, starting with her mom's legacy, in order to make sure that the lives of not only the residents of district ten are better, but the lives of so many people in san francisco are better. thank you so much for your service, and your commitment to the next generation of leaders. well, well, well. i am so excited today. we are going to be recognizing a leader who has really paid his dues, and done so much incredible work for so many communities that were left

behind. starting with his work at the resource centre, to his work at the department of children and youth and families, to his work at the young community developers, and, it was only natural that he was elected to the board of education and became the president of the board of education in the city and county of san francisco. shamann walton's path was not necessarily directed towards elected office. it was directed towards community service, towards giving back to those who really need a voice. someone who needs a strong leader. people who needed someone to believe in them and their

possibilities to succeed, i am so honored and excited. i mean i have known shamann walton for so many years, and i'm so grateful for him to for his work that during the time that i served as executive director in the western edition, when i reached out to shamann walton to help me and to work with young boys in the community , he didn't even have it does hesitate. he didn't even say, you know, this is what i need to, he says what can i do? what can i do to help you, because i am here to help these young men become successful. i am here to change the lives of so many young people in our community. we did this work because we were tired of going to the funerals, tired of losing so many of our young people to gun violence in the criminal justice system. and because, because of the work that i know shamann walton has done, and will continue to do, last year in san francisco, we

celebrated a significant drop in violent crimes, citywide. citywide. [applause] >> and we have more work to do, and we need strong, bold, fearless, incredible leaders like shamann walton on the board of supervisors. people who will focus on the people of san francisco, and not on the politics that sadly have torn our city apart for far too long. [applause] >> it is a new day in san francisco. [cheers and applause] >> it is a new day of hope and excitement for the bayview's hunter's point community. [applause] and before i swear in your courageous leader, i just want to make sure that you know he will not be doing this job alone

he will need each and every one of you, as supervisor maxwell has said, to be there for him, to support him, to advocate for the work he is pushing for the community. to show up at the board of supervisors meeting to make sure that your voices are heard and that you have his back when he is fighting for your community. and you can have no fears of an advocate, for all things related to changing our city for the better and making sure that those folks that continue to get left behind are at the forefront of the conversations that take place at the board of supervisors, and with that, ladies and gentlemen, lets swear in the next supervisor for district ten. [cheers and applause]

>> okay. raise your right hand and repeat after me. and state your name. [pledging oath in to office]
