the average age for a person in sfusd is 53 years old. eleven years older than the average age for sfusd teacher. this does not account for the countless people who retired, simply because they are -- the average age for african-american women is 63 years old. at least one ethnic group is completely missing from your data. i'm willing to speak to any of you about it. again, i ask that you start to address -- >> thank you. >> good evening. my name is sharon chapelle and i am a proud san francisco school bus driver. i am here tonight to not only represent smart 1741, my brothers and sisters who are here, but i'm here to also look at you, for you to see us, there is a discord about who we are. you see our students, but you don't see us. i would love to open up a dialogue as we continue about what we are, and who we are and this is us. there are a lot of things going on. we do know school is opening next week, and we are here to let you know that we are not just bus drivers, but we are caretakers. we are sometimes the first people that some o

i've benjamin netanyahu to sfusd teacher for 18 years. i ask that you honor the vote to remove their mural from george washington high school. when i open my heart, my ears, and i put myself in the shoes of the young black, native students i know we must do right. i can imagine if my ancestors genocide were portrayed on the wall of the lobby where i worked. this is unacceptable. what i realizes that the heart of the struggle, is listening to, taking action to care for those who have been harmed. let us show to be careful and want to protect the young black, native students. their mural is harmful, honor the vote and paint it down. >> my name is sarah, former student at sfusd. in one week alone, on our vacation, over three and a 20 educators agreed that we should keep the vote and paint it down. >> hello everyone i'm kevin ortiz. the full history is not education, that is oppression. this mural is not the full history of black and indigenous folks. it's not about the content, but the context. art can be appreciated. not being shut down you

i think that you probably should share some of your data with sfusd because their policy on how kids are assigned to schools actually makes huge impact on the morning traffic. it is estimated that 25% of the morning commute traffic is actually parents taking kids to school. the san francisco unified school district actually serves two thirds of the school age children in san francisco, so i think the roots were kids is assigned is essential, and also, i just wanted to mention that it would be better to coordinate with munimobile and sfusd because i think that can be perfected so more some more people are taking other transportation. >> thank you. >> commissioner mar? >> thank you. thank you for the presentation. it is really informative and exciting to see this program and the plans to enhance the program ahead. i just wanted to say, my daughter is entering high school in the fall, so i really understand firsthand the challenges that parents face in getting our kids to school and, you know, i must confess that throughout, after eighth grade or middle school, you know, either myself o

i know sfusd, the schools are full. my point is just that we look at the numbers, and how they are impacting the resources that we are trying to get so people can afford to live here. >> i agree. >> next is helen. >> thank you for your presentation. quickly, you had mentioned one of the priorities for the use of the bond money is physical accessibility, and some of the properties? >> yeah, i mentioned that describing how we meet accessibility needs for persons with disabilities generally throughout our affordable housing pipeline. you know, the bond funds housing in all of these categories that i have described. some of that work is rehabilitation. it is existing affordable housing, or existing housing that we are trying to preserve from either conversion to market rate housing or falling into disrepair. a large bulk of that funding will go into new construction projects or @ new projects that we are building. for all of our new construction projects that are funded by us, we do have these requirements around meeting ac

the opportunities that sfusd has provided for her to excel in student leadership and participating in her school's instructional rounds. she believes is important to have student input when we talk about the curriculum, and another opportunity for her was participation in and mission's high school administration interviews. welcome to betsy. and jet, we just call him top gun, no, we don't, i'm just kidding.

this group, along with the city, and sfusd exemplify a public-private partnership model that has come together to meet the needs of young people in san francisco. we are honored to have mayor breed with us here today and to have mayor willie brown's daughter, susan brown, here with us as well. without question, it is because of the support of mayor breed and mayor brown that we are standing here today about to open this beautiful dormitory for kids. [ applause ]. >> it's pretty cool. i would like to begin our program by introducing susan brown, who is going to comment on her father's long-term commitment to life learning academy. susan.

the bill required sfusd to rebuild its old earthquake vulnerable san francisco regional operating system. reporting progress to the legislature, every year, about finding new sources of water especially for future droughts. another law, in 2,002, it authorized the formation to represent the interests of all water users in the three counties because there was no regional government or body to do so. the third law was passed, senate bill 1870 that created the san francisco bay area regional water system financing authority to issue, if necessary, revenue bonds to fund the capital project to improve the systems reliability. extending the state oversight provided by the 1823 until 2026 and the regional financing authority's ability to issue bonds until 2030. they appreciate the puc's support for this bill which is now in governor these laws are especially important right now. all water users dependent upon the system face a threat of mandatory 50% water use reduction during multiple year droughts, if the state water resources control board delta plan is implemented as adopted. the plan would

we've worked for sfusd and for community-based beacon programs?t recently, they've led advocacy with our indigenous, and parent of color group and i think they'd be a great asset to the committee. in terms of my priorities, i'm looking to align the interests in the city. i'm especially creating opportunities by closing juvenile hall and hopefully closing at 50 bryant. i need to make sure we're aligning our services making it easy fore families to access and strengthening the communities of front-line c.b.o.s that -- and community families that we want to serve. we know that families at the intersection of identities have -- you know, have the lowest level of opportunity for us in the city. i think dcyf has some opportunities to change that. the next area of priority i want to bring a racial equity and systems approach to this work. so i think both in my personal and professional experience, you know, as a member of the western addition community and a member of the public school in the tenderloin, i've seen the families that are least well served
