tax and advisors firmer for an up close looked at the careers their preparing for this is one the sfusd criteria academies that expose our students and motivates them to think about their college and career pathway and has the 21st century skills leptin them to process towards the file for the sfusd graduates in 2025 so congratulations lincoln high school students i want to announce that evening that we were fortunate on a personal note our own mission high school in the heart of the mission launched it's mary which he program in january, the students have picked up an state your name for the very first time gave a performance to the packed houses in san francisco this past thursday the elementary school students and before buena vista and occupied groups right here from san francisco and others also performed and wisp happy that students from mary which he high school and a personal note it was the maryiachi - it was ethic students in action and parent induction and grant induction program a real pride program i want to thank all our departments especially rob daniels and john and soph

14 which is last year and of the 5,049 were students that never went to tk and 174 were students in sfusd so we took a simple assessment tool that we use for this and we looked how did they do on the assessments? and we look the midyear assessment because that's where we had the majority of our students assessed. the beginning assessment we were missing so many students and that's because they entered at different times. there are many reasons in the first assessment that we didn't have as many. if you go over to where it says a sub set of students that didn't have the f and p, the fontis and pen i will and -- >> >> 15 or 16% but those that had the assessment midyear of the students that did not attend tk62 62% exceeded or at benchmark but the students who actually participated in tk it is 78%. and then of course the next row shows the number that are below, so this was our first year of tk students so compared to the non-tk students the tk students are 16% above the non-tk students, so that extra year seems to allude to i am very cautious about this that the extra year made a difference

more conducive to the students that come from cte and we want to think how we collect the data on the sfusd students because when we think about the 7600 young people we're serving a mean a significant number of them are sfusd students that come through a variety of different pathways so i think we always have room for improvement but i have to say that this is one of the mayor's signature initiatives that he's extremely proud of and one that i think all of us that have been engaged in it are really happy to see so many young people show up. the lessons they have learned -- as a mother of a 17 year old whose kid got a summer job and still in the job is pretty remarkable, and the company that he's working for has been extremely supportive with his schedule. i mean this a kid that shows up to work a half-hour early so he's prepared that is actually managing his time which is for a 17 year old boy with all due respect is tremendous, and you know he's learning how to negotiate, so just a quick story. he recently was asked to do some coaching on the weekend for some soccer kids in the neighborho

on the sfusd use of the transportation system -- the sort of stats that you have here do you know the actual number of students that you're serving? >> yeah, we know using -- the best data that we have is the students using the free muni for youth because they're tag on and off everyday and we have about 29,000 boarding a day. we have additional student customers on top of that that do not meet the low and moderate income -- >> sure. >> it should give a order of magnitude. >> excuse me. this was done by the uc berkeley school of public health so i wanted to know if there is a number -- it says percentages but we don't have numbers of students that were surveyed, or is this -- >> we would be happy -- >> [inaudible] students so i am wondering about the sampling and how large it is. >> we are happy to follow up on that. >> and i have the same question for the 2013 survey on student perceptions of muni, and was this all grades? is it just high schools i guess and how many students participated, the actual number so what does it really represent? i think that would be helpful too and also

again i know commissioner mendoza recognized that the staff from sfusd that mere to speak on the item and i want to thank you for being today to answer any questions if we had any so thank you for your time as well. i think that this is a really, really important discussion and this is the right committee to be having a discussion that talks about better agency coordination between sfusd and one of our city agencies. i think that i learned a lot in today's hearing based on the data presented today and i really love to continue to see coordination to work to improve especially upon some of the comments we heard today and what i think i largely heard partially of course was the time to get to school but seems like a larger issue is the frequency of the buses to ensure that students it get on when buses are crowded and they're skipping stops and of course its connection to next muni which i love but can be very frustrated by when i see it go to zero and no bus and have to wait for the 15 minutes for the next bus but i am glad we had this first hearing. i hope we can continue the discussi

that is served to older kids and through that you could see the data in the bottom two bullets that sfusd high schoolers, 46% are riding muni to school and 63% from school so more -- there are more high school students who are using muni to get home and we can imagine why, parents at work and the like, and so commissioner fewer you mentioned that the mta provides some important services for students, but in turn it's important for the transportation system as a whole to have our students choosing a sustainable mode of transportation, be it walking or taking muni for the transportation system to work so we recognize that as well and we think both free muni for youth and all of the programs we can encourage the youth of sustainable forms of transportation is very important to the city as a whole so i will stop there and i would like to turn it over to julie to talk you through the next section. >> thank you ms. su. >> good afternoon. the muni has a really long history of serving transportation needs of children and schools, and when we go out and we do focus groups with students one of the

so my sfusd we hope you'll join us in the first pitch for that game last but not least i need to thanky husband dean nor being my rock my biggest supporter without you i couldn't do the work you're the best father stepped up to take over of our sons because of your faith and my passion illicit another the best sfusd saying changes the world from here i try to do that every single day thank you (clapping) (clapping) (clapping). >> thank you our next he honoree is dr. pricilla chan and she's doing her residency at the san francisco in the department of pedestrian risks she's commented to pediatry and her and her husband monopolized their donates in the amount of $175 million to make sure that san francisco has a world-class hospital dr. pricilla chan was unable to tear home sharer away from the hospital and sue from our sf general is here to accept on her behalf come on up sue. >> thank you mayor ed lee as it is my honor to be here to represent dr. chan she's unable to be here because she is a resident and still in clinic duties was unable to tear herself away she's shown not only throug

we extended the eligibility to include 18 year olds as well as 19-22 year olds that are enrolled in sfusd education services. the program costs over two years in the order of $8 million. our next challenge will be to find a stable long-term funding source for this program, but it is heavily used throughout the city in particular in the southeast quadrant as well as the north of market. we are also always trying to learn more about how students use the system. we did the transit effectiveness project which is a systems study in 2007 and 2008. i had the opportunity to do focus groups with students and really talk to them. we partnered with the youth commission so we had student facilitators so we trained the students and they had a dialogue and that was really interesting and we learned a lot about some of the challenges and opportunities of riding muni. we also were able to secure quite a bit of real estate on the 2013 youth vote survey to try to get a better noting what perceptions were on the system and how they were traveling. in know jt students in the school -- in general students gav
