for example, oakland district work with us. we are working with so many districts. it's a very diverse pool of drivers. i'm sure those numbers will look promising to you. we should come back with exact numbers and then have this discussion. this is a topic that is near and dear to our heart. >> commissioner boggess: i appreciate that. someone who grew up here in san francisco, for the black community, we feel left out lot of the pushes around diversity. anything that really intentional kill show that we're making an effort, especially since district a off loading the responsibility hiring new drivers. the next question is in regards to the electric vehicle. understanding this a is five-year contract. seems like the electric vehicles don't become fully guaranteed until the last year or so of the contract. what does that mean for up to that point. >> by the way, you have done really good justice. i will answer the question. the way we have planned and presented to the district is an incremental progression. we really do not want to invest money in technology -- we hav

la buff school district where i visited.a chance to talk to kelly clark and with the superintendent. what they told me was a story that has been played out all over the country. and we haven't heard much of it. and it is why most of our schools are back to in-person learning already. and that is because they work collaboratively, they followed the cdc guidelines, they were able to get the resources to implenty them although they need the resources because they're running out. they worked collaboratively with the parent. they talked with the parents, they interviewed them, they found out how many kids wanted to keep their kids virtual so they allowed form as well. working together in a collaborative way, demonstrating that it is our shared responsibility to keep our students safe and to ensure they continue to learn is the way that most of our schools have been able to get back to in-person learning. >> thank you so much for your time today. we appreciate it. let's share one more video diary. this one from anthony gonzalez wh

they started with the district imposed schedule for the district proposed schedule and i just want to say, first of all, neither of those are correct. we propose the schedule that allows teachers to focus on in-person or virtual teaching. so teachers would be doing either one of those. you need to be an in-person teacher or a virtual teacher. that's what we proposed. but the whole process of negotiations and going back and forth is to have conversation. and, we heard clearly from our education union that they wanted instead to remain with their current students. so they remain with their current students. you're not going to be either in-person or a virtual teacher, you're going to do both. so when we heard and we went back and forth and had conversations with them, with the schedule that you see, we were able to meet that interest, the interest of teachers remaining with their current students which was clearly what our educators union wanted, we were able to meet that union and the schedules you see are a result of that compromise. that's how we arrived at that current schedule. >>

this is a very different republican district, swing district actually, where they really care about physical issues and the environment and being moderate on social issues. john: let's talk about another important moment just several weeks ago, january 6. you have spoken about it and been on the news about it and one thing i found interesting was, you have a state of mind, you are on social media, and feel trouble coming to the point where you moved your city -- move your kids out of the city for a few days, and you did this before it all happened. how is it possible that you are there on the ground, you know trouble is coming, you can feel it, yet the whole system, the capitol, everybody, they weren't on their guard. how is that possible? representative mace: i have a lot of questions still come about that day. the only people protecting us between us and the violent insurrectionists were the capitol police, and they were outnumbered. it was a very dangerous situation. five people died that day. two capital hill paul issa -- two capitol hill police officers committed suicide after that day

families are left in the districts. that there is often two career couples in congress with a member and having a spouse who might have a job in the district. all of these things make it very very difficult to have the types of reforms and politically scientists have pushed over the years. i do want to kind of re-up one that the apsa, a group which i was part of, put forward, which was to think about perhaps kind of a super week, a one-time a month where the whole -- congress is there from tuesday to maybe the next thursday. they span the weekend. and that allows them to go back to the district more at other times. but you lose so much time because of the shortness of the time that we're in washington and the travel back and forth and the disconnected nature of it. and so sort of trying to find a creative way to move in that direction. very very hard. i don't want to take up too much time. the last one i want to put on the table is i think all the capacity issues have been very important. but there are more. and i do th

we are seeing crisis as a district right now. you know, just all the different areas from fiscal crisis that's looming to a covid recovery to governance issues within our board toishes that just continue to make challenges for the district. from my perspective, i would support the appointment of an interim superintendent so that it will allow us the time to go through a longer process to hiring a permanent city college and i saw and experienced what it did to that educational institution and still today is recovering from that. i sat on the chancellor hiring committee and being able what it takes to be in the pool of applicants and not just because we have to fill the position. so that is my support is for an interim superintendent. i would also name at this time, i do not support, you know, a board member being aappointed to the interim position. i also do feel that we need to have someone come in and steer this piece, but i'm open to what those processes are. should there be any internal candidates, but finding an appointment o

10, which is very specific to district 10 in the entire district. i will say that most city departments, the mayor, and of course our chief of police have committed to supporting this plan and we're just excited about all the work that we're going to continue to do together to keep communities safe. so, again, it's going to be high-level. just talk about what the components of the plan are, what the focus is and how we arrived at our plan and a lot of folks who are present in this meeting are part of the plan and folks who play a integral role in this work. our office worked on the plan and it was developed through a community plan process and we desperately needed to support. this work is -- if it's to be successful it will involve other partners and stakeholders that are involved. this plan brings together department heads, our street violence intervention and prevention program teams, and sfpd, our community based organizations, and other leaders and our focus is to create change, bring the voice of community to action. our plan aligns with our v

>> well, it depends on the school district.you point out, there's no issue there or at least guideline or even mandate about what constitutes going back to school. is it a half a day five days a week? is it two days a week? is it two hours a day five days a week? what exactly is that going to be? that depends on the school district and is teachers union, what they work out. once again the governor is, as he likes to say, incentivizing. he's basically encouraging sxoolz school districts to go this route in return for getting billions of dollars in extra money. but there's no mandate that they have to. also in there is the idea that the teachers' unions get to sign off on this as well. so while there's no -- he's not picking sides, he's definitely saying everybody in here's got to still work it out. >> this feels just like the pandemic rules in each county where everybody's doing their own thing and there isn't a cohesive plan. the governor's facing a possible recall election. how much will getting kids back into school help him

the district's own data show the achievement gap is widening under san francisco school district's distant learning approach. black, latino and other students of color in san francisco, as well as those from low-income families, have lost significant academic ground compared with wealthier and white students during the pandemic. while research is increasingly showing that the mental and emotional health of many students is at greater risk during the pandemic as they struggle with distance learning, san francisco officials, children, and families do not know what steps have been taken, what remains to be done, or how they can help. this is not just shameful; it's also unlawful. it's regrettable we've had to take this decision that we filed today. suing the school district is not something we ever wanted to do. but something needs to change. the status quo is failing our children. and we hope that this will move the district to do the right thing. i know that there are countless teachers doing heroic work to educate their students in these unprecedented times. ; to them, we say thank you. da

at a minimum, for me that's a question of following our values as a district and equity-focused district. that's not something that i would think, -- if we can chime in now, all the commissioners -- we can thumbs up and we can do that. i don't think that should be a discussion point. i'll go on the record saying that. additionally, i'm hearing from families that if the application is online and it's in a pdf, that is also a barrier for low income families. this is an open question that you don't have to answer. i'm wondering what can we do, especially during a pandemic. it's different during the school year. just an open question of how we're helping reduce those barriers. i would love to see representation for foster youth as well as unhoused families and those families that are harder to connect with. you need more resources to also do that type of outreach. i don't expect i would need help with that. i want to put that plug out there. >> about the form actually. we mentioned in the report that our application form has been converted to a google form. we are currently about to rereleas

tell me about that district. >> well, my district is largely on the beach. we have a lot of beach downs and communities, but also, we have marsh lands. we have beautiful oak trees hundreds of years old and great hospitality and that's the definition of the low country and what we mean by that and clearly, we have so much population growth down there. i was saying earlier, all the tourists that come and visit never leave so it's a beautiful place and every sunset, every sunrise is just entirely gorgeous and it's one of the reasons i'm a conservationist. you hear about conservation issues because i want to retain the beauty of the low country and why people visit us and why people go and start businesses there and move there, retire, et cetera. it's just a really, really beautiful place. i think it's the most beautiful place in the country. >> yeah, it's gorgeous. i had the fortune of being in charleston last year for a wedding and you know, i didn't want to leave either. you're absolutely right. and now, your district, you won one of the really close races, y

while the district works to hammer out those details, to return to in-person learning, the district's leaders, superintendent has announced he will parting ways with the district, retiring from the district come june. dr. vincent matthews took to twitter to make that announcement. he tweeted in part, quote, he plans to retire on june 30th, 2021, and remains committed to the clinical work in front of us, bringing students back to in-person learning, continuing to provide distance learning and planning for the summer and fall. now in recent months, the district -- the superintendent rather, dr. matthews, has worked to create a reopening plan for the district, the eighth largest in the district. according to the district website, dr. matthews is a san francisco native, received his k through 12 education in the district that he now leads of the he previously served as superintendent in both engelwood as well as san jose unified school. the superintendent's last day, june 30th. he's making the announcement just about an hour ago. and in the-person learning for some of the younger students
