i served eight years on the board of supervisors and five years for mayer brown. i ran the complaint department. my approach to running for mayor is a look at the big picture by making the things that we rely upon every day better, serving the interests of the people that live here and work here. school is important as well. i am a public school parent. for the future of san francisco, we have to have great schools for the children of today and the workers of tomorrow. i was proud to work on a by attacks credit, creating synergy. thank you.

mayer and our chief on this auspicious occasion. all the kind and generous words have been said. if you look on this wall, joanne, you can see the threshold to get on this wall is rather high. with some exceptions, we have got police chiefs, fire chiefs, mayors. i have been discriminated against because i am gay, jewish, but never for being estate center. i asked, how and why going to get on the wall? -- when am i going to get on the wall? he said soon. it is my pleasure to join in with the celebration and take a moment to recognize your unique accomplishments. chief hayes-white is the only chief to have served in all 42 different stations. i think that says something for your hands-on leadership style, that you have not only earned your stripes, made your way up the ladder in the department, but also have brought to us a motherly touch that is uncommon. congratulations to you on this wonderful distinction. i would also like to thank john and john crow for supporting this tradition, which i aspired to at some point. >> thank you.

mayer for being such a great mayor of san francisco and your commitment to veterans. we're proud of the work that is done in the community here, and it serves as a good example nationally. bobbi is a wonderful person. her persistence in this i know has been paying off for our veterans and will continue to do so. i am pleased to be here with mark leno, another member of the official family in san francisco as well. thank you for your leadership. i join my friends in welcoming you, mr. secretary, dr., thank you for coming, honoring us, dr. jesse, for honoring us with your presence. and sheila cullen is relentless when it comes to veterans, and thank you so much for your leadership. she knows how many issues we have been involved in an overtime, and she has been a tremendous leader. i want to would knowledge two more people. one is a veteran of the 21st century, serving in the early part of this century. and another one from the 1970's, a veteran from the 1970's. as we acknowledge them, let's have all the veterans who are here on the audience stand so they can be acknowl

mayer, thank you for your words -- mr. mayor, thank you for your words. in 2008, this community made a very bold statement, and the ripple effect went across the country. we are not going to stand for the same old thing. the status quo is not good enough. as long as we have an achievement gap -- our educational system, if it is not good enough for those achieving at the lowest end, it is not good enough for anyone. it was a very inspirational, very aspirational stake in the ground that said we are not going to do things the same old way. i am proud to say to you that from the aspiration, we have gotten to the nuts and bolts. one of the things i want to talk about is how we have seen this kind of growth over the last five years continuing to put us on the trajectory to close and eliminate achievement gaps. it is simple when you think about it. it is engaging our parents to understand not only what schooling is about but what their role is in the process. if we fundamentally believe -- which we do -- that the most critical element of any school improvement
