out of my school. i first rode the one california from mission to chinatown and the bus drove students from my school and from washington school and prisido and ucsf and the communicate i spend everyday during middle school was two hours and now i am waking up every morning at 6:00 a.m. to go catch the 3045 or another -- or k line to go across the city to lowe and i notice there are students from ccsf, sf state, balboa, mercy and [inaudible] all riding the same bus with mean and muni is our school bus. we all need to go to school around like 8:00 a.m. and sometimes there's like -- you know, sometimes i will like -- sometimes i would miss it just a few minutes before and it's 30 minutes before the first class and i check the timer and it's 16 minutes before the next one and those are the only -- those two lines are the only way to get to school, and i feel that the metro station should like make the k line more abundant and reliable for like the sake of the early school riders, early student riders and

this year from four sites to five schools and at each of the schools we're trying to have additional teachers in order to meet the needs so where we had 2,000 students participating i am hoping to increase it by several hundred and we had 35,000 -- 3500 courses completed and i am hoping to increase that to 4,000 and we hoping that the students are engaged in summer learning primarily for 12th graders and going down to 11th and tenth and ninth and new english learners that didn't have an opportunity to take some of the courses: thank you very much. >> thank you ms. fong. any questions or comments on this item? thank you so much. it's great to see summer school grow at the school district, especially after being on the board in the one summer we didn't have summer school and the immense gap in the city due to budget cuts and it's great to see it happening again. did you want to make closing comments? >> i have a few slides about activities. did you want me to postpone that? i am fine. >> thank you very much mr. eagleson and i wanted to thank all of the departments on this program now o

her to a public school. i wanted to send her to our neighborhood school which was right on the block which was a beautiful idea. send your kid a amok with him to school however when i went i actually put her in a school i was to say the least super disappointed because basically school, her first school experience was basically one of massive amounts of homework, sitting at a desk listening to a teacher talk at the front for a 15 minute blocks of time. no recess. if they were good at the end of the day they would get to do choice time which to me was what most of the school day should've consisted of which was playing which is how i think young kids actually learn. so it was not a great experience for her. she was super sad. she would wake up every morning and say that her stomach hurt, that she fell sick and it was clear to me that there was something going on that i needed to address. and i think what i came to understand was that it wasn't just her classroom or her particular teacher. they were actually r

the hours of the school that brought talent to the school site at all hours whether for health support or more creation those days you'll find cody's to help with the center that's created here with all the after-school programs that make that a beacon this is what we mean by beacon center lead by the investing of the city and county of san francisco we're pouring in over $4 million in each and all of beacon centers that's y where superintendent wants me to go each - but it's our city investment that demonstrates to the private sector we're putting in our investment here our kids are our investment join us in making them your investment do more than watch invest and you'll see the parent and community come alive more than in the past so this is where we are going to make a difference for bayview this is a beacon center a central place marie a sue lined the agencies to be part of the beacon center along with the city agencies we're going to have a heavy dose of philanthropic support when willie and i talk with ceo's we'll be in unison but snavn in unison about what we're doing where the

i've seen some amount talent of children from our elementary school to middle school but i this person that have applied to sylmar and who was not accepted i've asked i learned the whole criteria what it takes to be accepted i've gone out of my way with some parents that wanted their children to go there and sustained were still not stepped up to the plate, in fact carlos santana was not september i told you carlos; right? but i think that is this afternoon i was asked to speak another black life manners rally at city hall i said that the african-american community and hunters point and western edition are going to the same thing to the latinos are going throw in the mission district this is excellent this couldn't come at a betterment to send the messages to african-americans and latino to take what that takes i think that if it talks about middle school we should start at elementary schools there are children that who already have that gift that skill to distance and play an instrument so start at the elementary schools and let me say i'll finish by saying i know some of the children

then rather than after school and after school kids disperse to many areas. they hang out with friends, stay at schools with sports and clubs and activities after school but to get to school everyone must be there at the same time so they're saying many times buses pass them up. every single student has been late for school multiple times because of muni and they say it's the over crowding. buses will not pick emup if it's too crowded and students gave a recommendation for racks and the barack backpacks and they said what isn't on the list and i thought i would mention it. >> >> so the 48 apparently serves many schools and not just public schools so it's greatly impacted so those students on a 48 and also the 44 they say it's a constant problem but they also mention the 29 and it serves so many schools on the route and they don't often get picked up but i see it's being addressed here but the 48 service ends -- it doesn't run after 9:00 a.m. and not before 3:00 p.m.. now i never heard of that frankly and i am not familiar with the route but they said the 48 -

his willingness to open his schools for our cbo to come in and provide high squault after school and summer program is amazing. he has broken down barriers that have been historical for many years. he made the commitment of equity and of quality and that is amazing so thank you for that. also, thank you to all our elected official because they also share our vision and they share the mont ruof quality programs for all. everywhere they are going they are talking about enroll in summer school, enroll in after school program, participate because you are participate at every levlt within the city, within the big classroom of ours. thank you to all the elected officials. most-importantly we cant make this work without key community based part nrbship. partners that have been with us thick and in the through the good and bad times and they hung with us to make sure we get to this day where we can say if you have a kid on your wait list we are committed to allow that kid a slot that. that is 6 years in the making because we have never been able to say that in the past. we have never been ab

our school nurses. another critical piece of our effort to make sure students are safe and healthy and ready to learn is to build staff capacity, and that takes the form of both training for health ed teachers, training for all staff so they're prepared to respond to a crisis, and provide support. we have been doing a lot of work for building capacity under trauma informed practice for a number of staff including social workers, nurses and high school wellness program staff -- excuse me, and then some ongoing training specific to some of our most vulnerable youth, in particular the lgbtq youth and the work with minors and youth in foster youth and just recently did a presentation last week to all of our wellness staff around human trafficking and commercial exploitation of children. so some next steps. to the question of how folks can help? how the city and school district can partner? certainly resources are needed to support this work and build on some of the efforts under way. we are currently prepar

>> i would say the high schools are where we concentrate our work and most of the high schools we have been in since i have been there except lowell high school and we focus our efforts because we're three folks and have a contracted person as well within the neighborhoods i mentioned and usually one or two middle schools per academic year. >> okay. great. thank you very much. i appreciate it. >> thank you. i wanted to call up professor and others. >> i am with the lead educator in the project survive program and proud to stand with the sisters against rape and we work with them and sf program and we started 20 years ago. we offer workshops through peer educators. over the 20 years we have served 80,000 students through 4,000 work shops. in addition to the standard workshop we offer bilingual workshops in english with spanish, cantonese and mandarin so i read the thousands of evaluations that we get from the workshops and in the early years what i read over and over and over again from our students at city college was go to the high schools. okay. it took some time. we went to the comm

that would never happen so i just want to let everyone here know that the school district, the school site, [inaudible] is a very night knight and close working relationship. >> >> and i appreciate when hamilton says they will have someone out there within three days even before the three days before the arrival they give the kuftacy and the professionalism of the phone call to let us know they're coming. >> thank you principal chiu. it's good to see you. >> hi. i am tara and a counselor in the school district and work in a kindergarten through eighth grade school and working for the support department the last eight years. supporting homeless youth is near and dear to my heart. in our position as you know we have a lot of respond it is but mainly. >> >> responsibilities but mainly to build relationships with staff and families and within the school and families and other community members. in

if a school keeps a kid and graduates in four years, that is more cost effective for the school.hey would make it more cost effective. retention system would keep kids in school. those help schools reduce their cost so they can deal with the demographic changes. or a boycory: a uses big data. mark: systems help schools put together monetary plans. when kids have to turn in things, particularly online students, you want to monitor them. if something is not coming in time you want to check in with the student and school. cory: schools have advisors. mark: they had them, we never use them. cory: for those schools, when they look at this, they have a whole different interaction because it is happening digitally. mark: it is not traditional like we are used to. now it is different. the course is online or all of it is. it is not just about taking a test at the end of semester. you want to know if the kid is reaching her milestones in order to be successful. it is harder to self monitor when you're taking online courses. cory: one thing that is changing the way books work. mark: one of

school to help writing code in january. this year at the youth resource fair which i will tell you about on the next slide we're going to have a focus on job interviews and in the past we did mock swriew interviews and employers there were and there is a push for that so we have at least 10 employers confirmed to do many job interviews and as many as 15 doing interviews some of which will offer jobs on the spot, and a reason that -- in the past we had the fair in may. we moved it to april so there is an opportunity to apply for work recreation and the of the programs and they agreed to hold some of their slots so youth will have access to those. in the past a lot of the applications were closed by the time we hit the resource fair so the mayor's job college that is may 21 and we will cover that in the next slide. a couple other things we're trying out is experiments on the ground and one is a pilot program. we're hoping to do at mission school sestill in the planning stages but hopefully by this summer we will have internsh

school it is our school thank you (clapping.) thank you, mr. brad again hoping hold the applause for all the speakers. >> i'm a tenth grade student ever since i was enrolled that or there was no support for my color at mission high school we have small business that worked with us and it is quite ironic the school board want to help to get to college but the money is disappearing this year we had over 34 historic black colleges come to our school and accepted students on the spot as a st. joseph i was advised to wait we need an african-american advisor advisor. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello, i'm a senior at admission high school as well as the vice president of the high school ami i've been to the mission high school during my four years no one has supported like mission african-american advisor as an accepted to a college i never would have thought about or heard of our advisor gives support to those who don't have it at home removing her from her position makes it a loss for her and the family she's

is there's not a lot of room for innovation in public schools because the schools are being held accountable for this week in limited standardized tests in the test scores don't capture what teachers are trying to accomplish with these other sorts of experiences and models. so that is why it feels like not very convincing innovation story here. my agent said you've got to write about that. you got to write about the gorilla in the room, which is standardized testing. so i set out bravely but afraid to combat what i thought would be very dense project in terms of -- and it turned out to be sordid history policy. when you read about higher education, it is very diverse and independent sector of our society. in case 12 this is really america. this is public. this is one of our biggest public expenditures. it is again nine out of 10 schools come the 50 million children. half of these children are poor. you can't write about a school in america without writing about politics, race and class and all of these issues come into the testing story in a really strong insert an unsettling way. you have t

the charlotte is an explanation of that not actually looking at specific schools but schools in general and looking at 9 types of schools that were under whether concrete and wood frame and the approximate year that's how we're performing in an earthquake the pie chart on the right there was a huge part we didn't understand again quite a few reinforcing the idea of an evaluation those i realize we have a mix of engineers and contractor and school administrators so i'm going to talk at a level that hopefully everyone can follow me we're happy to explain that but essentially schools under the building code ann are an e occupancy they have their use and jobs because of that we want to make sure that is an easier place to start by evaluating outlets occupancy schools are complex sometimes audios church associated or a a residentialcy those buildings have not tied up to be elevated so after a lot of months working with the stlrld is stakeholder a group of over 4 hundred and having of you create trademark from so people are comfortable moving forward people are asking me is there other things

school and it is so bend the students of our district and fobd that the sunny side elementary school newly completed wing of the school i help to build should henceforth be known as the ruby bell wing a plague should be responding and be it resolved this this resolution suspends the policy of the board of education to allow the name of this school to a living person due to the honorable attributes of ms. ruby bell thank you (clapping). >> thank you very much mr. golden i understand ms. bell is with us here not audience please stand and be recognized (clapping) i have (clapping) - - i have two public comment cards the principle of sunny. (the following proceedings were held in open court, outside the presence of the jury:) i have to limit public comment to one minute please. good evening board members and truth and others i'm the principle at sunny side i wanted to law a few minutes for the people resolution to stand at at sunny side and honored to have ms. bell if you're here from sunny side in support of this resolution if you could please stand yeah stand stand oh, they're standing

and high school sucks in health education. topics related like this were never mentioned. i remember always being taught how to protect myself and also being taught how to help my partner put on a condom before having sex and i feel because of these focus -- these issues and a lot of female students feel victimized and at fault. it was mentioned earlier that most calls to the confidential hot line are made by adults and i believe one of the reasons that the current health curriculum focuses on too much of accepting rape culture instead of fixing these issues in society. instead of teaching our youth not to get raped why not teach them not to rape and hurt others and i suggest we should focus on targeting the root issues of sexual harassment and teach them about these issues as early as possible. i first learned about sex in fourth grade and i believe that students should be able to learn about these issues right from the start. thank you. >> thank you so much for being here. [applause] >> my name is sally and a sophomore and h

against him about the school i love the school my kids love the school i feel that is important no one should speak for my family thank you for hearing me and at sometime i'd like to see you each and everyone to see how we're working with our students thank you, thank you very much (clapping.) i understand that mr. rosenberg is ask schedule for a is a basic loaf. >> i'm lisa i've worked with principle rosenberg for over 10 years i'm here to tell me the principle of john mirror school self also served for example a group of students were bullying and miss bother opening on the yard mr. rosenberg has assigned himself to the school yard bag back to the students mr. rosenberg intoxicate the group of students off the yard to perp guide and tutor them to learn strategies to allow them to safely play with other children public utility number 2 a regular feature in the classroom not a a supervisor but a teacher number 3 i've never in my life seen an educator that has a better rapport with parents than chris rosenberg especially families that have been disfranchised and family that feel negativ

i was just wondering what a school policy is with students that arrive late to school and they're late for class what response the teachers have and how sympathetic are the schools are to the situation. that's all. thank you for sharing. >> my teachers don't really care. they see me enter a class and you're here. that's it. >> okay. they're probably really glad to see you. thanks. >> what is the start time for you? >> 8:00 o'clock. >> 8:00 o'clock. thank you. >> good afternoon board of supervisors. i am steven chang from the bay view district and i currently attend galileo high school. personally when i take the bus to school it usually takes around 10 minutes to wait for the bus if one leaves and for the 54 it's very inconsistent and usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes. that's why when i come home from school i usually have to walk back home, so the inconsistency of the 54 really like makes the time for me to get home longer. besides that i see a cluster of buses every time i go to school or go somewhere because when i go somewhere i see that the time waiting for the bus is around 1

or a good school. is that the only--it's not the only marker that you use-- michael: correct. and i think it's so important to point this out to students and their families, that the university of california as a whole conducts something called comprehensive review. so we have 14 different criteria that we use when we're assessing students at any of the 9 general campuses. jessica: what are some of the other criteria? michael: so we use gpa obviously, the kinds of courses that a student has taken. we have the college prep courses, in california known as the a through g courses. but we also look at things like leadership, awards and activities, special projects. we look at things inside the classroom and outside the classroom. and what we're really doing is we're looking at the whole picture of a student, so the comprehensive review says, "use multiple measures to look at what a student has achieved." and the test scores are only 1 of the 14 criteria. jessica: people feel that it's so competitive gettin

silver (clapping). >> hi my name is scoffing i can't i'm in marshall school and came to this school it's a stem school i really like science and there's going to be a robotics class (clapping). >> hi, i'm senate file i can't see mother i'm existed as well for my daughter to attend this school yes, ma'am because of the introduction to the stem education it is especially because my daughter is a girl a female she'll get a head start with career choices and other things thank you (clapping). >> thank you very much that is extremely important the work at willie brown jr. middle school our students know they're capable of doing the work they'll be presented to take the higher level math and science classes and enroll in college a lot of our students i talked to the families they're talking about the daughters attend the schools their concern because of boys are more the population we want to make sure they feel confident so next mr. nolan to come up and share with us her joy and passion for willie brown jr. middle school and introduce the mayor. >> thank you (clapping.) great morning everyone

the end of the school day and the focus around after school and the bafkd stipend thing of 24 each i want to hear the thinking of $10,000 and every school gets the same amount what is the same same ashtray number or the size. >> spell the last superintendent. >> thank you for the question commissioner vice president haney we have class size in our middle schools and already so reducing the class size in math specifically because of the implementation of the new canyon core curriculum that is rigorous and will require a transition period we feel will enrich students understanding of the math and we feel that is it fits within what the public said we want the enrichment fund to do to provide an enriched fund as we've included we're going to be exploring in the future years is there an opportunity to move the funding into the general fund but we've heard our parent community we've heard the community and we've heard the expression of concern about giving our teachers another air space to depth the capacity to teach the common core mathematics it is a liability thing to provide immediate

sites the school sites thirty should be funding that at the schools they're assigned to and taking money away from students that are on track not to graduate thank you very much. >> can i ask for clarification i did have a conversation with mr. sanderson about this earlier in the week my understanding is and correct me if i am wrong i thought that student who took health and college and career had transferred to another district they're not on track to graduate in the sense they have the courses but they don't have all the requirement those are students that are off track if they didn't take the required classes at the home district that's what that means that's correct. >> i'll have to actually soak exact clarity there is a couple of reasons i'll electrohave to drill into the data i know that sometimes they don't fit into the schedules of the students based upon what the mr. superintendent said about the scheduling issues at the school sites so that's one issue. >> jennifer fong director of college and career readiness students are primarily students not enrolled in the district in any

in fact the school's graduation rate is 74%. almost identical to the baltimore city school system.her words, one in four students who enroll here will not finish. >> it's not for the masses. i don't think it's realistic. >> monique is a radio show host and legal analyst who says crystal ray is not the answer for many students. and that the school is skimming the best and most motivated students out of the public school system. >> here is what's. you take the best and the brightest student. you put them into private schools, and then the public school system is left to handle the masses. where you normally would have students who have a great shot at entering college and matriculating through the public school system and have parents invested in not just their own students their own child's education, but also investing into the public schools in their area, you lose the involvement. >> presley says schools like crystal ray offers opportunity, the corporate money could be better spent - improving the public school system for all students. >> i think that there needs to be a way for

to a public school. i wanted to send her to our neighborhood school which was dust on the block and was a beautiful idea to have your kid walk to school. however when i went and put her in the s chool i was to say the least, super disappointed because basically school herba first experience, was one of massive amounts of homework's, sitting at a desk listening to a teacher talk at the front 450 to a minute blocks of time, n o recessontfor a if they were good at the end of t the day they would get to do choice time which to me was whatoice most of the school day shouldperien have consisted of witches .playing, which is how i think young kids actually learn. it was not a great experience for her. she her. she was super sad. she would wake up every morning and say that her stomach hurt that she felt sick. th it it was clear to me there is something going on i needed to address. paicular but i came to i came to understand was that it wasn't just her classroom or her teacher, her teacher was super sweet but f
