booker academy. vote yes. it's absurd that we have to send our children out of our neighborhoods over to other neighborhoods to hopefully get, you know, what they need. teachers feel helpless because they know they're failing our children, our black and brown children. you guys know that you're failing our children. it's clear that you can't even retain teachers at your high potential schools. the ship is sinking, and we want out. we demand that our right to choose, whether our right to choose education for our children, whether it comes from world class education -- i mean, whether it comes from private school, montessori, private school, charter, public, we need to be the decision holders on that. we don't -- we don't have another five years to wait for you guys to fix your schools. the schools are in bad shape. everybody is aware of this. >> thank you. >> that's it. >> next speaker, please. >> honorable commissioners of education, i am dr. aurelius bishop, pastor of church of god in bayview. i've

booker academy. he confirmed to me, it's an innovate school, they are looking for space in the bayview, at either malcolm x, at carver or willie brown and we also know that mission education center is also a site. i just want to put this into context, i'm hoping families in the city, on the west side and in north beach, as well as on the south side band together in support of black and brown schools. black and brown people are being displaced from our communities and the fact we are also being displaced from our schools is unacceptable. i know your hands are tied in a lot of ways because of state law. i just want to put it on the record that you are not wanted, okay? you're not wanted at malcolm x or m.e.c. or carver, you're not wanted at willie brown. thank you. [applause] >> how do i follow the amazing allison colins. so i'm here in my capacity as the chair of the community advisory committee for special education. i just want to reiterate what people have said that students with disabilities will

by the beginning of the 1900s they change the name to salem academy college. we still have that diversity that we had a most 250 years ago because we have girls from all over the world for international boarding students. we are also a college for traditional college students and we have graduate courses for nontraditional college courses. i think it is very important for there to be a school like salem academy and college. i think it is a great opportunity for girls to be in a place surrounded or they could take risks and try out for things that they might not. salem academy has a robotics team. the college has a debate team a north carolina debate. they have come out on top. i don't think, necessarily, that they would have those opportunities in a coed school. encourage really does and foster growth to take a chance to do something different. certainly, they have a great deal of support from each other. one thing they learned is that women can be the leader in a school community. women can be the leaders in school government and come up with solutions and pr

tom thanks for having us today and the first day of your of your leave academy high the back what is the importance of the lead the lead in german means song and it's basically for me. poetry set to music. what is the importance of this of this league why is it important for you to convey this passion to young thing is this is your your main emphasis here at the academy the elite tradition the art song which we're getting away from using classic song stars in pretty much the the german one thousand century tradition called lete but you're right it means song it means middle d. it means console in a means visually in check or in russian i mean every culture has its song the difference is classic song which is so important is that you have one art form of poetry that doesn't need music and the one art form of music that doesn't need poetry and they merge in the lead world the relationship of imagination word sound physical entrance and that is a very intimate and immediate and they're closer to one another then when that gets expanded into a theatrical environment called opera it's a n

i'm a member of the academy and they come every year. of course what you do is call your friends and say is this what we are seeing because nobody watches them all. >> host: the oscars have been in the news the past couple of years because politics, political correctness what do you think about all that? >> guest: everything has become like that. if someone wants to attack me for my white skin privilege is, a fingethe finger got broken ine civil rights movement, all right, what did you do. i think it is all counterproductive because as long as i've been a member of the academy which is actually since 1985 and it's been welcoming to the minority members, nobody was more of a hero to the academies. who doesn't want that. it's a great talent, but the idea of putting out there -left-brace gets into the academy why not just make it about who made a good movie last year? if it's all black people emigrate com, if it's all white people, great. if it's all chinese, great. we live in a situation where we are obsessed with this stuff. >> host: the

in addition to being a team teacher in the green academy and the teacher academy, ms. ziegler is a u.s. history, american democracy, economics, and ap u.s. politics and government teacher. she served for three years as chair of the social studies department and is currently, again, as i mentioned, a teacher in the academies. since 2005, she's been taking students to washington, d.c. as part of the close-up program to help them learn the responsibilities of citizenship and the joy of travel. and so it was unsurprising that back in 2010, ms. ziegler was named one of five california teachers of the year, and then in 2011, named the guilder lehrmann california history teacher of the year. critical thinking skills, teaching through simulations are foundations of ms. ziegler's teachi teachi teaching philosophy. she's truly finding ways to work in the community. whether it's proper composting and recycling for students to how they're addressing brown water coming out of their drinking fountains at school, learning more about city government, i'm constantly in awe of all that

we greeted the 42 new members off the list of the 124th academy. and yesterday i attended the healthy streets which is comprised of the department heads and the departments that are working to keep our streets clean, safe, and healthy. so is the director of public health, chief bill scott, deputy chief of staff and chief of staff of the mayor's office and the d.p.w. director was there to talk about how on a regular basis we're coordinating our efforts to endeavor and to meet newly formed group and meeting at least once a month. and that concludes my report. i wanted to request your adjourning tonight's meeting from vice president nakajo for the passing of retired battalion chief mark rishan who was a very dedicated member of this department. had a firefightering family. his brother mike was in the department. his brother-in-law al jones is in the department and his son john is a firefighter-paramedic. mark retired after 30 year of service and about 12 years ago, but had a very sudden diagnosis of cancer just a few months ago, and passed away last w

every year, i've been supportive of increasing the police academies and the sheriff's academy to make sure that we can replace the officers that are leaving. and i -- i -- at the end of the day, i'm not sure how much i would support what the police staffing of 80 or 100 and whatever, because i pushed the task force to look at it a year ago and they barely got it started. chief scott knows where i stand with this. i want to support staffing, but it has to make sense, too. it's not when you ask for 100 or 80 or whatever. maybe it's justified, but let's hurry up and have these task force start meeting and say, these are the numbers. we need 300. and then all of us could support that. so i'm willing to support some increase but not if it's the full ask. with the unit -- which one is that, the district -- district attorney, right? >> yes. >> he asked for two units? >> yes. >> human trafficking and -- so, again, he's asking for complete units and i'm not too sure if i want to go from where he is having one staff member look at the break-ins or crime unit from one to having seven more. it do

the bay lay report showed increase in attrition from academies in past year. what do you think this is a result of and how much does it cost the city every time you lose someone that you have trained? access is tha>> that is a good d once of the things we are asking the academic researcher to look at is that very question. can we be doing anything differently to address that issue of attrition at the academy level. part of what we were seeing in the past year is we lost quite a few recruits to driving. >> supervisor fewer: used to be everyone wanted to learn to drive when they turned 16 and now so many young folks don't even have a driver's license. >> that is part of we believe factored into that. a lot of recruits just started driving and they don't have the driving experience. >> supervisor fewer: they stopped giving driver's education and that might have an impact. i wanted to get back to the question of ever cost every time lose a recruit. the effort and money that has gone into a recruit even before he has sworn in, the testing, the background investigat

so the government and the academy media and business lack serious intellectual inquiry and are lacking intellectual ideas for our future. that simply fly is our problem. now imagine a world where everyone year questioning young people entering into a society that is worth keeping and grow what is worth growing using their deep knowledge of economics and politics and philosophy as their guide and as a graduate they enter into a community of like-minded people if you can imagine then you can imagine the intercollegiate studies to to dissolve out we identify student leaders across the country and educate them in the foundational principles to have a society that is free and prosperous limited government and then go through debate and lectures to help develop their own perspective around those foundational principles that help to place them in mentorship and career opportunities so they can take off into a community of like-minded bright intellectually curious people. we are promoting a community college related constituent to provide a solution of intellectual leaders for the government a

there is another academy under way right now. there are six women in that academy.nother academy starts in june. there are eight women signed up so far. we're live in san jose, damian trujillo, nbc bay area. >>> new details about that deadly fire in san jose. part of our breaking news coverage last night at 6:00. a man died trying to save his niece from the flames. tonight the victim's sister tells us that the man's name is min ho, 22 years old. it happened at the west winds mobile home park. she says her brother was trying to rescue his niece from the burning home. we're told the girl was never in the house though. her parents say she was with another family member at the time. arson investigators spent most of the day today at that mobile home trying to determine how and where the fire started. they say the whole building is a total loss and the deadly fire has left neighbors horrified. >> smoke was coming so hard that i had to walk away from there. >> the flames were being blown by the wind all the way across the street and scorched the tree. >> the family who li

each got accepted into a different military service academy.d states air force academy. madi, the youngest is in her sophomore year at west point. and adrian, who couldn't join us because she's studying for exams will graduate from the naval academy in may. >> adrian is a nuclear engineer at the naval academy and trying to finish her senior year and very determined. we grew up with structure, too, in our house. just very disciplined, in a good way. i think just the military was just natural. >> sounds like stacy was the original commander. >> drill sergeant right there at home. >> stacy, drilled into her daughters that they didn't have to conform to traditional gender stereotypes. >> corey, you told us your parents never treated you or your sisters like girls. >> right. >> our parents never raised us like the typical girl. they never said that we couldn't do anything of any sorts. they never limited us. >> my dad, too, he would just look at me like any of the other people and say like you can lead why not. >> reporter: dad luke flew f-15 strike

these are temporary facility that is -- will be in operation until such time as life learning academyates to a new location within the development as part of the development plans for the island. recycle for change has placed a bin at the island cove market -- or will be placing a bin at the island cove market, to accept clothing donations and other things -- shoes and clothing to divert those from landfills if they can be repurposed and reused. last february the 24th and 25th we had another successful treasure island fest on the island. they implemented a new traffic management plan which worked well although the attendance was slightly off from february, the traffic flowed well throughout the weekend. and also on saturday the 24th, the community hosted the black history month celebration at the ymca gym. we have permits coming up for filming on the island, so one of our more extensive filming activities. and the net netflix will do filg in and around building one in april as part of their production for season two of that series. and we're also continuing to work with the jobs corps

and now we've got the waterhead academy, which is bringing all the communities together.eeding improvement — but for those who have believed in it from the beginning, it has come a long way. has it worked? for this school, for sure it's worked. you know, when you come to the christmas play, when you come to a lot of the productions, if you look at the sports teams, they all know we're not looking at the colour of their skin, what we're looking at is the team shirt that they wear, and that is the one of waterhead academy. play! a new building, sport and the arts have been a vehicle for change, but changing attitudes takes time. what we have created here is a belief that cultural differences are small compared to what young people have got in common. we're trying to create something very special. the children are part of the same team, the children are part of the same school. we still have to have challenging conversations with parents and families sometimes, about their views on different communities and different people, and we see that very much as part of ourjob, to ke

my name is victoria eley, and i'm the only african american teacher at malcolm x academy. i want to thank you all four coming out and supporting, and i would really like to invite you all to come to our school and see how we're utilizing our space, the wellness center. we have space for our art and music teachers. we have space for our children that needs a play and have play space that we have organically and strategically incorporated into our classrooms. we have behavior modification strategies. so colocating at our schools is encroaching on the sanctuary that we have been building and the community, and so we're just asking if a school already has a space, and they're safe, and there's space for them that it's not necessary to bring them in. and you know the data on moving and shifting and changing. so to disrupt that is just going to cause more trauma, and that is not what our kmubt needs. also, in addition, the relevant topic that came up earlier about our asian and pacific islanders samoan community, speaking and asking for space, and that was approved, and this is

a posthumoushonorary oscar is within the power of the academy to grant .i'm not only my breath, but who knows. >> there was one back there. >> i'm curious if mister reagan ever chose movies because they featured his friends. was there any movies he preferred to watch because his acquaintances or friends were featured as actors in those films? >> the truth is mrs. reagan chose most of the movies for the weekend. i probably talked to him but most of the selections came through her. george burns was a friend of theirs and he was in a movie they liked, michael j fox, he was in a movie but i would also say that politics had nothing to do with it. we watched movies at camp david, at least two that had jane fonda in them was not the person you would think would be first on ronald reagan's list of actresses to watch in effect, working at one of the presidents favorite military, i was reminded of the research and spoke to many of them that the idea of going to a movie that starred jane fonda and there were two was a bit uncomfortable for some of the service people

of pediatrics and the american academy of family physicians these groups are supposed to promote the highest standards of care for vulnerable people like children so i guess it's agreed that nothing is sacred somewhere in america even the sanctity of a narcotics anonymous meeting is being ruined by a poster that says good hope on a different kind of coke don't just track the corporations who benefit from spending the narrative on help. track the people and the organizations who take their sweet and sticky bait it was pressure from activist groups that forced groups like the american academy of pediatrics to break ties with big soda so what's time to hold everyone accountable. or else the posters in your child's pediatrician's office are going to start looking a lot different. coming to you from the world of coke or i'm soon to be terry's. natalie mcgill redacted tonight. show what we have to show you every week you can get them all you through dot com plus adak to deny but after you click the subscribe button you have to also have to click the little bell next to the subscribe becaus

mineral resources picked up a site close to what was called frontier work it was called frontier academy it's majority white school agreeably colorado and originally they had a site that was near that school that they wanted to put this. fracking wells. so at that school seventy seven percent of the students were white most families there were middle class only about twenty percent of them qualified for things like free lunch money that will back up close they probe the kids protest at everything else and so eric huber his attorney for the sierra club's environmental law program told them that when they are looking for another so when they were looking. another site away from frontier academy where does it wind up in the hispanic community by of the hispanic school we think that decision was made unfortunately because up to the community doesn't have the resources to fight it so the new school is below romero academy in schools about eighty seven percent latino or hispanic african-american or other people of color and more than ninety percent of the students at bell over america five for

just in terms of where we are right now, and the academy graduating glass, 27% women, six of the top ten graduates were women, are enlisted in sessions for the last two years, have been 26 and 27% women. it's an operational imperative for the navy to increase our numbers of women. so we are, frankly, targeting them in our recruiting efforts, in our messaging because that's where the talent is. 52% of technical graduates at america's colleges are women, that's where the talent is. so, we are very aggressively going after them. our new ad campaigns prominently feature women. our most recent one has a female submariner earning her dolphins at the front of it, the first one released at army-navy game, first one of our new ad campaign has a female sailor saluting at the end of it. so, we're really trying to highlight the situations that women could see themselves as career in the navy. the retention efforts, things like the career intermission program, the navy is the biggest user of that, we highlight that, but the other element of this, as part of sailor 2025, one of the pillars of that

we'rejoined by dr hiart un sillem, the first female ceo of the royal academy of engineers lovely to seeneeded. we are launching a social media campaign to launch engineering in the minds of young people, we have a really narrow perception of what it is in this country, very outdated and we are not attracting enough people from all parts of society into the profession, it's a wonderfully creative, diverse, stimulating, fascinating career and are trying to make sure we can showcase that through featuring young engineers who are doing incredibly exciting things in the early stages of their career. those people should be amazing role models for the next generation. what is an engineer, the perception and reality? the perception is exemplified by doing the google image search for an engineer and u nfortu nately image search for an engineer and unfortunately what you get is a sea of ha rd hats unfortunately what you get is a sea of hard hats and there's more diversity amongst the colour of the ha rd hats diversity amongst the colour of the hard hats on the faces of people wearing them, it's f

to train high level engineering talent ourselves at hoshi we're building an in-house academy because the only way we're going to stack up our engineering team is by finding full stack engineers that we can train to become qualified auditors. if you're a qualified engineer today chances are you're building your own solution or you're being paid a ridiculous amount per month to work for some i.c.a.o. . and that's just the reality of it when you're offered eight hundred a theory and for the month of the i.c.a.o. you're going to jump ship from whatever you are and go ongoing joke in the industry as if you're really qualified engineer in this space you may be too rich to get out of bed. yeah exactly i mean that's a real problem there at the top talent in.

it wasn't something that i saw as consequential to the academy program. as a consequence of getting a degree you would end up going into a cam bat situation. and -- combat situation. that was a reality and possibility but it wasn't something that i thought a lot about. that's for sure. i was more focused on the education and opportunity. >> you got your -- what was your -- >> it was very hard. as all beast bar ricks are in their own way. the heat was challenging and it was hot and we're always sweating and dehydrated. trying to get water. they made sure we did. the hazing was still going on at that time. >> what was the hazing like. >> so the hupper class men were aggressive with verbal challenges and putting you down and asking you to recite this and that and if you didn't do that, ten push ups, 20 push ups. and sometimes they would gang up on you and two or three upper class men at you. just since you are talking, you remind me of my first day experience. everybody remembers something about their first day. because i was some what knowledgeable about we

it is a challenge and we do lose recruits out of the academy from time-to-time. right now because of this data, i think uh it sad additional itl challenge. some people don't see it as a career they want to do right now. part of the challenge right now is we are in a state in policing in the country for the last few years where there is a lot of concerns and some people have stepped away from do i really want to do that job. it's a very difficult job, but with that said we are able to bring recruits to the door but it's more challenging than it was five or ten years ago. >> have we had to lower our standards in types of psychological testing? i was i>> no i would not say wee lowering our standard. i think things have been adjusted over the years. some of the testing has been adjusted. we are always looking at that. part of our a academic partner's research is looking at that for us and hopefully we will have a report soon, we engaged in mou and we don't have those answers yet, but i would not say we are lowering our staid. standard. >> i just want to make sure bec

susan: let's talk about what is happening within the academy. you have written about this, but across the country, liberal arts programs are seeing a decline in enrollment. what is happening? james: actually, history programs have stabilized and in many places have increased in majors and enrollments. i was at a conference recently in upstate new york. history department chairs at suny campuses. approximately half said their enrollments were up. i'm not sure that that trend is necessarily continuing or going to continue. clearly, there were declines and enrollments -- not in liberal arts, but more in the humanities. i think that has something to do with the sense among many people that these are "useless majors." i think that in a difficult economy, young people thinking about jobs as opposed to careers. when you think about a job, you think about being taught how to do something specific that has a specific job. when you think about a career, you think about the skills that allow you to do five different kinds of jobs over the next 25 years. hi
