until 2:00 p.m. -- enrollment fair. this is on eighth street.last year, we had an estimated 15,000 people in attendance, so this is a great resource for our family and for our community members to get more information about our schools. this is also a great opportunity to meet the leaders, staff, parents from all of our schools, and learn about the programs and approaches that are available within our district. in roman applications for the 2011-2012 school year will be available at the fair -- enrollment applications " will be available. if you cannot make it, do not fret. there will be a number of discovery workshops. please visit our website for more information on either the enrollment fair or the discovery workshops. we would like to take a moment this evening to think our community advisory committee, who is present this evening in the audience -- to thank our community advisory committee. we want to thank them for their service to san francisco. thank you. president kim: thank you, richard. deputy superintendent carranza won a prize, in r

submitting the application form and then going through the enrollment process. the application deadline is february 18. between november 13 and february 13, they will complete an application form and then all of the requests will be processed at the same time. and this will go out on march 18. at that time, the families will go to school to enroll, and this is the final stage in this process. this was a very high level overview. and i can go into more detail if the commissioners have questions. but i also wanted to direct you to the application placement and roman handbook, and just to let you know that there is a lot more detail with the student assignment system. with these documents that are required. >> if people see this, where will they be able to get copies of this document? >> copies of this document are available at the education center, 555 franklin street and the child development center is at the school. and much of this information is already on the internet for the families to refer to, to use this as a medium for getting information. and there are

so we sent in a felon to try to enroll in the program. >> i have a felony from 2005. >> 2005, okay.nd what is it in. >> theft. >> okay. >> another recruiter didn't even seem phased to hear that our person had a criminal record. >> we will definitely work with you, especially when we know it up front. that helps us a lot. can i tell you honestly that we have placed people in different jobs before? yes, with backgrounds, yes. >> the recruiter told him he couldn't be a cop, but there were a variety of opportunities in law enforcement for people with felony convictions. >> sheriffs, corrections, jailers. we put everybody in all of those places all the time. >> but we checked and that is not true. a person with a felony conviction can't work for any sheriff's department in texas or generally as a border patrol agent which the recruiter also suggested was the case. >> even border patrol, you can do that because it's still in the realm of criminal justice. >> a spokesperson said before students enrole, they must sign this document acknowledging they may not be able to work in law enforceme

we had to get started so we could get ready for the enrollment there. commissioner wynns: if i can summarize, and not to interrupt, you are proposing that, or may be asking for input, to use as a workable model the idea of setting aside -- that we are going to set aside seats, which it seems to me we have consensus from the board members here present around. i think we also, having discussed that before, where pretty clear that we have support for setting aside seats. at least as a working hypothesis, we will begin by saying there will be at least one seat at the beginning of the enrollment process for each class in those transition grades, in each school. we are proposing to use at the present time, setting aside commissioner norton's idea for a moment, we are thinking of that as a separate pool for the schools. kids with iaps using the same tiebreakers we use for kids without iaps. is that correct? is that you plan to tell people on saturday? [laughter] >> for saturday -- [laughter] we are trying to prepare some basic talking points for principals so

process to really look at how we enroll children and youth with disabilities and think about a way that more children can use the same process, and families can use the same process, to choose schools as they do for their non-disabled children, and that we would essentially have inclusion, not inclusion programs, but inclusive practices in all schools. the way we are proposing to do that is to start small. currently, the practice is that students whose iaps already say that they need special ed in a resource setting or rsp and students whose iaps say they need special ed and designated instructional service -- that is children who are primarily -- speech/language is the primary disability -- those kids are already accessing the school choice process that all the typically developing per se access. we are talking about adding the kids whose iaps say inclusion. we are talking about on a small scale here -- we are talking about 100 students who will be in coming kindergarteners, 45 students who will be in coming sixth graders, and 35 who will be in coming-- incoming 9th graders. we are tal

well, first of all, medicare open enrollment starts monday, november 15th.things to keep in mind, starting in 2011, average monthly premium charges for standard coverage medicare will go up about 3% for those drug plans. for some, those drug prices are going to go up. but for people who enter what's known as the donut hole, the gap in coverage. for them, they may actually start to have a benefit here to some extent, 50% off discounted brand name drugs, 7% discount on generic drugs. again, that's for people who enter what's known as the coverage gap. there's also something else, which is the medicare advantage dis-enrollment period. from january 1st to about february 14th. if you opted for a medicare advantage plan, but change your mind, during this time you can switch from an advantage plan to an original medicare plan. there are a lot of details here, mary, on medicare

was there, we would be over- enrolled. i guess that that is an area at that i don't want to wait until that after reporting to know about. that is one of the main things we are going to need to be able to tell people to change their perception of how the student assignment process works. we are telling people that we are presuming he had that if they actually live in the attendance area of the traditionally over-general school, they have a much greater chance of going there. we are also saying that based on these principles, we presume that to be true but we do not know it. i think that we want to know that. and not a year-and-a-half down the line, but as soon as we can. and also, when you were talking about trying to assess questions to assess the effectiveness, it has to be linked to transportation. i want to know how many people applied the schools to which we provide transportation that are not the attendance area schools and how many people apply where we don't provide transportation

. >> i had a recruiter ask me to talk to a guy about enrolling, who was currently facing an aggravatedery charge. >> reporter: larry asked us not to reveal his face as he still teaches. he said he was shocked to find several felons sitting in his criminal justice class. >> i said, you can never get a job in criminal justice. he said, well, the recruiter said that we can. >> reporter: we wanted to find out for ourselves what recruiters would say, because for-profit universities take in 24 billion in funding from taxpayers every year. so, we sent a prospective student with a fell nil conviction undercover to try to enroll in remington's criminal justice program. >> i have a felony from 2005. >> okay, 2005. okay. and what is it? >> theft. >> theft, okay. >> reporter: another recruiter told him he couldn't become a cop, but said there were a variety of opportunities in law enforcement for people with felony convictions. >> sheriffs, corrections, jailers, we put everybody in all those places all the time. even border patrol. >> reporter: we checked. that's not true. a person with a felony c

nationally, about 30% of students who enroll in nativity-miguel schools don't graduate. many are dismissed for academic or behavior problems. severe family dysfunction, not a lack of desire to learn, is often to blame. >> that's pretty bad. that is pretty bad. but you know what? we all sleep well at night because we give them every possible chance, every possible chance. >> get your piece of paper, take it step by step. i'm not going to do the work for you. >> the support starts at school, with a required two-hour study hall after dinner five nights a week, supervised by teachers and volunteer tutors. nativity-miguel schools also provide academic support and counseling to students after they graduate, helping them win scholarships to elite high schools like gonzaga, a jesuit prep school in washington d.c., where demitrius mcneil is now a junior. he wouldn't be here, he says, without wja. >> if you're a good person overall, then academics will come, you know, so they taught me how to be a good person first, and then they taught me overall how to become well academically.
