classification, so we wanted to compare sfusd. we classified students e.l.s and english only students to take a look at their performance over the last three years and compare it to all of the state english learners. you can see we're making slight gains over the state, but we did dip compared to other years for english learners. but our reclassified e.l.s continue to out perform even our english only students. this is -- these are our reclassification numbers by language pathway, from the 16-17 numbers, we increased in total of 300 reclassifications, and you can see where the growth is by language pathway. this shows the graduation percentage by e.l. classification. we -- the district total continues to increase each year for english learners, so while we do have english learners that stay an additional year, we also do have english learners that are graduating, and the number continues to increase. you can see that compared with our reclassified students, they are on par with our icep students and also our english only students.

and within sfusd. my two youngest have learning differences and other disabilities, and i'm really emotional right now because every time something like this happens, i think holy crap, my kid is next. i'm here because of my seventh grader, damian. he's the sweetest kid you'll ever meet. he's 13. he doesn't look like a kid, he looks like an adult. he's got adhd, sensory processing disorder. when he gets overwhelmed, when he get overstimulated, he shuts down. in a situation like this, i don't even want to think about what would have happened to him. so while we need to not only revisit this m.o.u., we need to consider all of our student populations. we have a huge amount of disproportionality of sfusd of our african american students and latinx and pacific identifies lander being put into certain situations and not given the support they need. and we need to make sure that we've got all the appropriate safeguards in place, particularly in our m.o.u. to support students who need the additional layer of s

i am here today because, as a district 4 representative i represent many students that go to sfusd and some that go to balboa high school. they have the right to feel safe where they go to school. school should be a safe place. a nurturing environment and learning. instead at balance owe a, even with this incident, it was severely mishandled and students did not feel safe. so, the transformative justice committee has a couple of recommendations we want to present to you. we believe in youth rights. we really believe that sfpd and sfusc should up hold them. we should make sure all children know what miranda rights are, how to get a lawyer. we need them to know so if they're in a situation they can be able to defend themselves and have their rights. also, an incident like this impacts the whole community, not just the students and administrators involved. we need to have an investment in community healing and community or entered solutions that follow-up with youth and their families. thank you for calling this hearing and having me here. just wanted to give a quick shout out to the othe

i also want a current inventory of the hvac air filtration system in sfusd schools and city recreationentres. and an estimated cost to install those and larger spaces at each of those facilities. as we have facility bonds that come through in our public school system, and in the public buildings, it looks like we need to make sure that when those new renovations happen, we have cutting edge air filtration systems. it is looking like we might need those in the future more than we've expected to need those in the past. let's start that planning now as we go forward. finally, a study of best practices for using publicly accessible buildings, schools, recreation centers, libraries and more, to provide safe respite spaces. this information was available to the public. we can learn better practices to get that information out. i also want to mention that i know there is some controversy over training people when and how to use the respirator masks. i think that we need to have a harm reduction approach and that we need to have a robust education campaign and just realize that is much we tell

i think there's still conversation with sfusd. i think you're going to withdraw it, and we have the ability to talk. i think we have the ability to make many of these nonsubstantive amendmented at the meeting on us it. i would appreciate it having it come out as a committee report so we can get two votes in before the end of the year. >> president cohen: okay. i'm going to cut you off because we are in agreement that it's coming out as a committee report. >> supervisor safai: okay. thank you. >> president cohen: not to be rude, but heard enough of. >> supervisor safai: got it. >> president cohen: we've solved our problem. >> supervisor safai: you're never rude to me. >> president cohen: all right. so my final motion is to send this out out as a committee report to the full board to be heard on the next board agenda. >> clerk: as amended. >> president cohen: as amended. all right. here it goes. unanimous. [ gavel ]. >> president cohen: okay. madam clerk, is there any further business before this body? >> clerk: there's no further b

things return to normal, this monday, in light of many students being off for thanksgiving week, the sfusd is out all week. we are going to keep many of our recreation sites open to make sure kids have a fun, safe place to play. hamilton, moscone, soma, and others will be open monday-tuesday -- oh, they're going to be open on monday, and then, the sites will be open during the normal hours on tuesday and wednesday, because monday was normally a closed day for them, but we are district attorney going to open them on monday because school was out, and then, we're going to open them on tuesday and wednesday. the safeway rink is open, and beginning on november 30, the all new winter park at civic center will welcome visitors, and i think embarcadero plaza ri rink opens with a lighting show tomorrow night. all kids will be able to skate for $5 before 3:30. we're really making an effort to ensure that everybody gets to enjoy this rink. more info can be found on our website, sfrecpark.org. we have our craft day at the rana museums annual craft day, november 30. for more information, you can visit

. >> employed with unified -- sf -- >> sfusd. >> yes. >> city college doesn't qualify? >> no, i don't believe so. >> excuse me. while we're on this table, i'd like to make a comment. i'm pleased to see that you, as we progress along the spend of this bond, that you've stayed true to the original allocations of the three broad categories and the mission, that one being separate. so if i did my numbers correctly, first group of public housing, you know, they're -- currently, the numbers they're showing is around 37%. the second number, low-income, if i ad all those numbers is about 33%, and then, of course, mission, it's 143 units, and that's kind of stated, and that's 10% of total bonds. and then, the fourth category, that's a total housing. that's at 20%. this is helpful because it helps us to see in the initial allocation before any of the projects have received funding, that you are staying true to the categories. i just want to make that comment. >> yes. and it's nice to view in parallel side-by-side with the financial side. it indicates we are sticking in those para

we understand that legally sfusd is a state agency and that legally, they don't have to comply with city laws spirit given that understanding, we think it is unnecessary to have an explicit carveout of an entity that way in that it kind of invites others to say if you are covering it out, then the expectation is, i hear your commitment. we have been working very closely with them for a long time. we have a whole team working with the school district. they are not concerned about this ordinance. only one facility that is barely over the 40-yard threshold. it wouldn't be hard. they believe the sustainability people to be able to bring that below and not even be covered by this. we think it is unnecessary and we don't think the optics are ideal. >> do you think that this is harmful to this ordinance? or this is something that you specifically would say that you are opposing to put this language as clarifying language, even though with a commitment to have a stronger commitment to zero waste policy with the san francisco unified school district? >> my concern is this is part of mandatory and

as well as high school graduates from sfusd. i would like to see a guarantee that all of them would have access to the many. and realizing there is a large part-time work force in the city that have been priced out of living and residing in san francisco. how can we help them also. >> hello. my name is todd. i'm here today to speak out in support of the amendment, especially regarding a dedicated funding source for city college. unfortunately mayor lee refused to fund year-round city college and redirected some of those monies back into other purposes. so ice strongly support the 20 year plan and a dedicated year-round funding source for city college. thank you. >> jessica, esl instructor at city college of san francisco. i work with immigrant students. many of them work to and even three jobs in order to support their education. precity will allow joe shed has already allowed so many students to either work just one job or may be even focused solely on their education so they can reach their educational goals sooner. i stand in

and i will continue to meet with our board of education as well as our sfusd central staff office to make sure that we're pursuing that expansion of being able to provide education -- public education, for our new families in south of market as well. so, colleagues, this has been probably one of the biggest and more complex area plans that i have worked on. it's technically the third area plan that i worked on after transit district center plan if you don't want to include treasure island. it's been an honor to help build the future of san francisco within district 6 and be able to work on area plans that will greatly grow our neighborhoods to accommodate the growth we're seeing throughout our city. and so i simply ask for your support today of this plan and hope that you can pass it unanimously. thank you. >> president cohen: thank you, supervisor kim. colleagues, any other questions or are we ready to go? all right. don't be so excited. >> clerk: supervisor fewer is on the roster. >> supervisor fewer: thank you, president. i just want to thank supervisor kim for all this work, all

so that what we are doing in the title i sfusd classrooms get supported in the community and at home. we do school date programming and we have weekend and after school programs for whole families to come back and explore. we also do special events. i wanted to make a quick shout out. we have a haunted house coming up next week. so all families, students everyone is welcome to attend and this is natalie. she managed the event and she can tell you a little bit about it. >> we wanted to share a little bit about the haunted house coming up next week and especially i heard a lot of ui parents. it is a free event for the students that we serve along with their families. we try to keep all of our events as accessible to the population that we serve as much as possible. it will be on the night of halloween, october 31st from 5:50 pm until a pm at our location in mission high school. it is an opportunity for families who would normally be out trick-or-treating or staying at home to engage with the science activities that we have at the workshop. we are going to be doing some dissections, taki

we spend millions of dollars on transportation in sfusd.nd the majority of it is for special education and special needs programs. we're not spending the same level of money and resources for trancesportation for isolated, disenfranchised communities. we know the data. we know who is truant. we know how it happens. we need to provide the opportunity to get our young folks to school. so it's transportation. it's the resources and basic needs for families that has a deep-seeded, deep-rooted issue that are keeping our children from going to school. we're seeing some success in that. as a board of supervisor, i will make sure that part of our $11 billion budget goes into our school system. people think that our of the school district has enough resources to sustain itself. we don't. we're in the bottom half across this country. it's ridiculous and we need to use some of that $11 billion budget to take care of our students as well.

by allowing sfusd to care for their trees, they will be able to improve student access to trees and be willing to plant more trees increasing student concentration in learning. proper street tree pruning can sometimes look dramatic. and chair mandelman, you referred to some of the calls and people are concerned. i wanted to address the common concerns we have. we do prune trees for clearance over roadways. it can look dramatic, particularly if a tree has never been pruned for trip clearance or if it is after years of deferred maintenance. but it's much, much better to prune a lamp -- limb off a tree than to have it get struck by a vehicle or a piece of equipment as everyone in san francisco is aware, there is construction all around us. with the 2011 road bond, many more blocks were paved than in previous years. we have construction projects occurring everywhere. when that happens, traffic gets routed right next to the curb. we have a catchphrase that we have been using in the bureau which is don't let a truck prune your tree. the reason for that is here in this slide, when he limb get
