> good afternoon and thank you for paying close attention to this issue and thank the staff and anne marie conroy for putting this together and us part of it and i will acknowledge theresa who works on my staff as chronic absteism and involved with the oakland school district and i partner with tony smith and this man brought innovation to the oakland school district which has a lot of challenges which he may go into. i won't. so i really echo what jeff said about soft or hard power but let me tell you from my standpoint. i have a nephew who was in school and was bullied and there were sexual overtones to it and the result is he left the school and i spent time working with the school and my district and it wasn't my area and educate them about what bullying meant and in the most heinous way described to them and it went no where and that gave me the lesson in life we have children that are in fear when they go to school so they don't go and my priority is to have safe schools and they can be educated and create their path to a successful future and it's a healthy environment and bullying

i've indicated to melinda and certainly ann marie and her coordination of this, we will be on the forefront with our school district and our administrators and our commissions to work together with the bay area to end this, to talk about it and expose it and to continue really carrying out a promise that we have made as leaders in our very dynamic bay area. we will not tolerate intolerance and we will expose it, get rid of it, and we will educate our kids, the next generation who will hopefully inherit a better world. we've got to set those conditions for that to happen. this is why i am so appreciative of so many of the different levels of law enforcement, education and nonprofits to come together and share the practices, share what we can do, and then do what's right, continue and support those programs that will help us. so, with that, i am very fortunate and glad to share this with you and be part of this afternoon's great conversation and thank you again for all of your commitments. i appreciate it very much.

ann marie slaughter wrote an op-ed on thursday, how to fault butchering in syria. she writes -- simply arming the opposition in many ways the easiest option would bring about exactly the scenario of the world she feared most. roxy war that would spill over along sectarian lines. there is an alternative. friends of syria some 70 countries scheduled to meet in tunis today should establish no kill zones now to protect all syrians regardless of create ethnicity or political allegiance. ann marie, maybe we should start on this idea for, first of all dash article in "the new york times" today about the sort of complexities you are quoted in. essentially it is a long article. it has the -- one byline and reported by 15 other people that says that basically what a -- total mess, what a complete -- amount of 10 and con mikt and conflagration that can be unleashed here. particularly compared to libya which was less strategically -- less approximate to the powder kegs of the middle eastern region. i want to ask you what i thought was a contradiction in that op-ed. you say up

i told ann marie i wasn't going to talk, but i'm back in my activist mode. i can't help it. for a city that is absolutely for us to be obsessed with process, it's amazing that we were unable to put a process in place when it came up in '06 and 2010, and i was please today hear one of the early speakers on this admit that and come forward to put a process in place now. this legislation is obviously in flux. i've been working mainly with supervisor wiener's office, many public meetings which nearly everyone in the room who has spoken today has been, both sides well represented. i urge you to move the matter on to the board of supervisors with the department's recommendations. the department has been wonderful in working with us. the amendments that board president chiu put in at monday's hearing started to bring things together. it's my feeling they will come closer together. as far as the web-based notification system is concerned, i was one of the authors in 1997 for the grand jury that highly criticized the city's i-t system. we were guaranteed by the board of supervisors a
