workforce development program worked responding to the e c e workforce shortage in san francisco and nationwide. um our goal is to provide high quality coursework and fieldwork, um, to support undergraduates interested in ec as a career to transition into the workforce upon graduation. our challenge is that most of the students i work with are discouraged. about the low economic potential of being in early educator. they love the practice. they are committed to not only protecting our youngest and most vulnerable children with their lives, but also facilitating their learning development and growth through a succession of critical periods of neurological. development um e c e sets the foundation for lifelong learning development and citizenship. um and they see

firsthand in their field work. we actually pay them $20 an hour in federal work study funds for their service in the classroom, which approximates the hourly pay of some of the highly skilled staff in these centers, um, and they see firsthand how hard these teachers work how committed they are in skilled. they are and they want to be fairly compensated in their careers, and we told them about baby props. see this past year, their eyes lit up. finally they felt that they could pursue their dreams of being an early educator and make a living wage support their families. and i moved here from new york city two years ago, and i can tell you that san francisco is at the cutting edge of early care and education and baby prop. c is one of the major elements in that, and we need this. thank you. thank you for your comments. welcome to the next speaker. i my name is lynn. i'm

a teacher and a parent. i came in head start program as a teacher. we are there for the children, and we have passion about all children remember representing all of the infants and toddlers who couldn't speak for themselves. and i urge you to say no. and consider either proposal to pop c and we're standing up for their children's future. cropsey affects their future ahead of them. thank you. thank you for your comments. welcome to the next speaker. good evening supervisors. thank you so much for giving us all this time. um and for really listening. my name is jenny perlman. i'm a resident of district one, and i also work with safe and sound and organization, which is in district five in district 10. i'm also here on behalf of the family resource center alliance that represents now 40 plus organizations in our coalition and we all together in our organizations support about 40,000 children and their parents. um i recognize that you

are forced with some very faced with some very difficult choices during this budget year, but i urge you to really think about the undisputed fact that you've heard so many people talk about that strong families and thriving children are necessary for the long term future of our city. how are we going to rebuild our city? if we don't have the workers who are the workers, but those committed families that are invested in the city? and what are those workers need? they need the child care and they need the support that families need struggling from english slice right now. hurt you to find other ways to balance the budget rather than taking a disproportionate share from funding for children and families. the 13% cut to the d e c budget is the largest of any major department. it's outrageous. not only are these proposals going to negatively impact children's school

readiness, their long term educational outcomes, but as you heard other speakers say these cuts will exacerbate the growing widening wealth gap and educational gap for black and brown children in this city. we have the highest gap in the country. now we need to listen to that and make the right choices. additionally with the $5.5 million in cuts to the eec line item that funds f r c s family resource centers, we will not have that broad based community support that allows for that two generation approach to support thank you for your comments. all right. welcome to the next speaker. i've ruined as why my name's hongguang. i am and i, my wife provider childcare for the low income

good evening board of supervisors. my name is may go. uh, let me childcare provider industry 11 of 17 6 code. i'm here today is to support of the church, the childcare community to speak out against. the million years, baby proceed has proposals. steve my opposition and ask that you reject both proposals. if you implement either proposal, you will be making changes to a waters initiated retail a bit more, christine. socratic process. this is a violation of democracy and elitist. and naked shaking process in san francisco. this

is a dangerous. president for government and transparency in city government. i believe that the proposed test ranges baby policy. will be determined tal on childcare community's ability to thrive. and we'll lift the community with no mechanism to replace existing funds. a stronger strongly it. that's you , too, will know on this proposals as the city depends on childcare for economic recovery. thank you for your time. thank you for your comments. thank you. alright, next speaker, please. hi supervisors. let's spark up a little bit. please come on. can you pull that microphone down? down perfect. if you love san francisco, and you know it, shake your hands. please thank you just hurt you.

thank you. okay then let's keep families and children and the workforce in san francisco. i'm a family childcare assistant, not even the provider justice since then, and i come to work every day because i am so passionate about my kids and my work. and perhaps he has helped me tremendously when during the pandemic, i was homeless and my boss took me and if she didn't took me and i would have been dead like there was nowhere for me to go. sorry. um and i've been having a lot of anxiety this week because i'm worried about adducts. people of color. other woman who's opened the small business for taking kids and parents and families. because we have properties. we're gonna be nowhere. and shame on london breed for trying to create chaos. and please thank you for our supporters of prophecy. and please sleep or not for the, um, supervisors who are thinking on it, and let's think about a better solution to

help our children and i'm so sorry i'm shaking. you guys are just so cool. thank you for your comments. well, welcome to our next speaker. hello supervisors . my name is claire grady. i'm an 11 year. san francisco resident living in district two with my partner and our three year old son who attends a wonderful nature based day care, offering emergent curriculum and stern grove. i'm here to speak about the mayor's proposed budget cuts to early childhood education, especially the reworking of the democratically passed baby props. see it is quite frankly bonkers to me that the mayor is trying to supersede democracy so that she can take money from babies. this is pixar villain level nonsense. it is cartoonishly evil. as it stands a mere 13% of san francisco residents or children, almost 10% below the national average of 22% and cuts like this will make it even more difficult for low and middle income citizens to raise our families here in

the city. the practical input implications of the proposed cuts could mean a reduction in staff at my child's daycare staffed by the lovely sofia, who just spoke. um which could take him away from the teachers and the friends that he loves, disrupting his learning and potentially forcing our family to leave the city that he was born in a city that we love and wish to raise him in. early childhood educators are some of the most valuable and yet as it is most poorly compensated workers in our society. they are the reason parents like me can go to work every day. we need more resources, not fewer directed towards this sector. pitting food resources resource programs against early childhood education so that we can keep money in the pockets of big business is an appalling proposal, and the mayor should quite frankly be ashamed of herself. urge members of the board to vote no on any changes to baby prop c and the other harmful cuts to u. c. e in the mayor's budget proposal. thank

you very much. thank you for your comments. thanks, speaker welcome. hi san francisco board of supervisors. my name is sarah fisher. and today i stand before you as a child care advocate deeply concerned about the lack of transparency surrounding the new tax proposals put forth by mayor london breed. i am urging you supervisors to vote no on both proposals put forward by the mayor's office to make changes to the voter passed prop c behind closed doors. the other budget process with the e and frc community are mobilizing to make sure our voices are heard over 100 and 50, parents, educators, providers and advocates stood before you today to express our concerns and shared opposition to these proposals. we implore you to listen and act in the best interests of our children and city. changing the mandates to baby props. see behind closed doors is not only unethical but disrespectful to the san francisco voters, parents and our children. child care is not

just a social responsibility. it is good business and good public policy for the sake of our city's future generations is the foundation upon which our community thrives and any changes to this vital system must have community discussions and total transparency from our elected and trusted officials. it is quite as heartening to know that many family childcare providers in san francisco still do not even have retirement or healthcare benefits. and yet at a time when the eec is not even the largest department budget or even in the top five were receiving for 13% budget decrease, which is 10% higher than any other city department at this time. our community urgently needs this funding that the mayor is proposing to cut. and the many communities that collectively make up this city deserve transparency from their government and call for input and this discussion that will affect the city of san francisco for years to come. i would also like to thank supervisors melgar , preston and ronan for standing

with our childcare community. thank you. thank you for your comments and let's hear from our next speaker. hi my name is sylvia rivera. and i want to thank you all. um i am an employee of compass family services, and i'm here to, um, talk about the proposals, the proposals to take funding away from baby prop c will harm san francisco economic recovery efforts over half of people of the people who identify themselves as homemakers. would look for a job, if affordable and reliable child care options were available, um also family resource centers help children thrive and families build strong communities. the mayor's budget would cut funding to f. r c s by $1.8 million in 2023, 24 and 3.6 million and 2024 25. these funds

pay for case managers, food pantries and mental health staff at 26 centers serving 40,000 children and parents. um not only am i an employee of a great organization, but i'm also, um, used to use the services when i was younger. um and when i say when i was younger, i had children at a young age. didn't have family help, so the services helped me tremendously . i can honestly say that when i was when i had my children, funding was very scarce and so through the grace of god and prayer. i was able to get funded , but it was with hope, and people shouldn't have to have hope. it should be. there shouldn't be a prayer wish none of that, by the grace of god. i got funding, and now my children are doing successful. they went to college, um, and are thriving

. and so i am not only i'm a living testimony that these funds actually work and so, um, living in san francisco is already hard enough. i'm sure you guys struggle even with thank you. thank you for your comments here from our next speaker, please. um go. it's hamzi. um are you in? um. said molten for most of. going on gas . someone sing bone gets in, you know all day. so you want the naga gold bands talk even most on some house on ban gay joke high on the get some fancy someone ha ho! um see tango majority guarding is that damn
