and i'm also putting this out to sfusd. i'd love to be involved in these conversations because we have good intentions and we're working in tandem, but we're not working in partnership. we could do so much more in we connected our incompetenter piece, and it's curriculum that maybe goes outside of the regular content areas, so it's a piece that people talk about as the best practice, but it never happens because it's never assigned to anyone. so i would love to -- maybe i can follow up on our side to see if we can get curriculum committee to take this up, you know what i mean? >> yeah. and then, i ghes thuess that t other thing is, you can always be reaching out to board members because i think that we're all going to be for this, right? so is there a convey that you can invite -- way that you can invite us out, just personally, these are platforms to talk about things, to be visible, to talk about it with our constituencies because it's something we want to support and do support? but you know, invite us -- i'm putting all

>> i can give you an idea of what the cost is on the sfusd side? so on transportation, we probably spend about 100,000 -- 100,000 per semester. and then on books, if you calculate one class, it's about $3,500 for a class of 35. and we have 14 classes or ten, so i would say it's about 35,000 -- but i would say it's about 50 to 60,000 because knows -- those are just the ab 288 classes, and i know there are others, as well. and then, we have the teachers and the team that are able to support the students, as well. >> do we have an idea on the city college side? >> hi. i'm meg hudson. i'm the dean of high school programs at city college, and i'll be speaking soon to you. but in terms of the funding, well, i think our biggest funding is really in terms of offering the courses and traditionally, those have gone through the budgets of the departments, and so they have to look at, you know, their overall course, departmental course pathways and what they can offer. but i do want to say that we are starting with the '20-'21 school year, we are drastically t

so that's a question that i'm going to be asking sfusd. it's an awesome video. it should be on our website. that's free advertising. and then, i guess the other piece is free media is social media so i'm wondering how we can leverage students that are in the program? my daughter would be mad for saying i discovered she was on her instagram for, like, three to five hours a day? so high schoolers are on social media and so are college students? is there a way to leverage hashtags and then maybe create campaigns that they can participate in so they can talk about their experiences? because the best way to market the programs are kids that are in the programs? and especially high schoolers to middle schoolers. and so do you have a feed for this program? like, i know sfusd, a lot of departments are now -- like, visual performing arts has this own feed. school food and nutrition has their own feed. i'm wondering, do you guys have your own feed on the dual enrollment program that you could then be tagging trustees and staff and commissioners? and then, like i said, if

. >> one of the events we held last night was learning in the sfusd. we partnered with various district proponents to engage in a moderated panel. this past week, we also had the pleasure of joining mr. lester on a panel of the california association of school psychologists. on the screen, you'll see a number of events that the district wide aapac has participant participated in. we're very proud of our partnerships and are looking forward to see how we can grow those relationships next year. on this screen, you'll see it says different year and same challenges and it's a repeat of our challenges from october 2018. now we decided to keep this slide as all the challenges still remain the same. we're finding that there's still adversity despite engagement, that there's still school sites that resist what we're pushing out or what aapac is educating families about. we still face the same challenges when responding to the feedback you see below. so what's up for 2019 and 2020? well, on the left, you'll see last year's goals, and we're going to continue foc

the average years of service in sfusd is 15 years. we have a average of two years compared to 14 years. that may be due to the fact they do not offer a teachers' union. they do not have representation. that is concerning to me as a former member. i want to put out and share with the full board. i believe if we put the stamp of approval it should meet our requirements for transparency and for compassion in serving all students including those with specific learning disabilities including emotional des turbans and autism. they should give parents a lot of access. we have a load of smithties. i am a parent. they inform the work of the district. i would like the board to take that into consideration when they make their vote. >> commissioner lopez. i want to acknowledge all of the families and students and staff here. that is something that we honor. that is something all of the work that you are doing is not unnoticed. what i am trying to point out is the underlying issues. to me it is really telling with the charter schools and how ther

this is on the sfusd kipp middle school fifth and sixth grade. it shows the bayview academy 2015-2016 cohort was 44. she followed to the eighth grade that is going from 44 to 28. in other words, about 35% of the original co-heart were no longer at the school in eighth grade. for the academy it was 83-65, that is a 78% of students stayed. i am commissioner collins have spoken about this in the past. we suspect there is a lot of push outs other the years. commissioner collins mentioned something she experienced herself. we have heard the reason why the numbers are the way they are. students have been pushed out annual these have a special relation ship regarding the law. they are pushed out to go to our schools and we are happy to take them. as a former principal in my part i couldn't have that student go to kipp because the law does not allow it. that is the issue. can you speak of the attrition rate from 44 to 28 at the bayview academy? >> sure. i want to clarify many davis he had shared statistics and really looked at the kipp percentage. >> i a

we held four community forums facilitates by sfusd leadership. two were in december and january, last year. we had over 50. then two additional meetings were requested at schools. those two meetings were facilitated by our cb o partners. let me take that back. one at mission was facilitated bby ali and at the high school was by the sac. they had 23 and 41 participants. additional meetings were convened with alliance for girls and the youth commission and were facilitated by the organizations themselves. in other words, we allowed participants their own meetings without staff. we provided with a facilitator's guide and existing m.o.u. and blew up the top sections and provided feedback forms and sign up sheets and they provided it to us and we recorded thousands of comments. i want to point out there was diverse representations from the organizations and groups. i don't mean to go through by name, but you can see that we did have quite a bit of representation. captain williams. >> the feedback obtained we received suggestions throughout the process

information and access to us because we have been able to work with our mental health professionals and sfusd wellness to provide a array of services and have them understand more about the nature of what is going on so they can stand down and be more sensitive to issues that some of the young people are going through. >> thank you. can you speak about the selection process for qualifying the officers to get in the program? >> currently what occurs is that we have our sign-ups every six months within the police department. at that time certain officers will indicate desires to become school resource officers at that time the captain of the station will discuss the particular persons who are interested in it with myself. then, of course, we will consider did needs of the schools within that district, the length of service of the police officer, we will look at their training, their other percent thrill matters to make sure we are selecting the most appropriate person to serve as school research officer to be a valuable partner to the school district and to the parents and the community we are

i'd ask through the chair, ta to investigate how we can use some of our ta money to work with the sfusd to bring school buses back to sanfrancisco. >> i'm follow up with that and sorry, commissioner marr. >> thank you, chair peskin. it actually.i did want to say te with your point and, in fact, i started working on a new school transportation study with the ta, the mta, the school district, dcyf and others and i think expanding our school bus service, you know, is something that will be a key part of that and would look forward to working with you on that, as well. and then colleagues, today, i'm requesting a presentation and discussion at a future ta board meeting on the city's electric vehicle roadmap, which was released in june. to reach our goal -- our city's ambition goal of greenhouse gas emissions, we need an all-of-the-above reproach and that means public transit, walking and biking. but it also means expanding the ev adoption and infrastructure so that what car traffic remains in the future is cleaner and greener. my district is among the most car dependent in the city and yet,

. >> we are going to do joint training with sfusd in the summertime when we are on a break. we have discussed with the school resource officers that is a time to train together. >> i think how important it is that you raise the importance of working with captains and the neighborhood stations because exactly we don't see the borders between schools, serving young people and how our police officers are working in the community with students overall so thank you. >> thank you. >> i am going to wrap up this series of questions with a few comments and some appreciation. i know that a lot of discussion has happened before this draft got to this point. i appreciate you bringing it to the board to weigh in before we voted on it. congratulations on your last presentation. >> i do want to sleep tonight. i am tired tonight. >> if we get into it, the cops are here.

since 2011 this has automatically opened more than 42000 accounts for sfusd students who enter kindergarten. it is automatic. there is no paperwork to fill out, no social security requirements, no minimum balance requirement. the city provides the initial $50 deposit and private funds are used to incentivize families to continue to save. the incentives work. families have saved more than $4.6 million of their own money for college, and more than 50% of the families who save qualify for free or reduced price lunch. this grant money will fund a position focused on increasing outreach to families, students and teeners and to continue to encourage families to save in those accounts. we are seeking retroactive approval. it is consult to get it into the budget for fy19-20. we moved as soon as possible when it was signed. any members of the public to comment. seeing none, it is closed. any comments or questions on this? this is a great program. i want to be say as we try to close our financial gap, it is our job now as city and county to close the racial achievement gap and prepare everyone for co

[♪] >> i just wanted to say a few words. one is to the parents and to all of the kids. thank you for supporting this program and for trusting us to create a soccer program in the bayview. >> soccer is the world's game, and everybody plays, but in the united states, this is a sport that struggles with access for certain communities. >> i coached basketball in a coached football for years, it is the same thing. it is about motivating kids and keeping them together, and giving them new opportunities. >> when the kids came out, they had no idea really what the game was. only one or two of them had played soccer before. we gave the kids very simple lessons every day and made sure that they had fun while they were doing it, and you really could

kip is not as transparent as sfusd. noting their board meets four times and only one during the day and no way to share with the public. any ideas around providing families more access to substantial decision-making? they don't have representation. the closest is el dorado. it's a two hour thrive from -- drive from here. there are only three in the states, so charter schools don't have much representation. we voted without recommendation. then we had a few presentations. one was special education strategy, five years strategic plan. what is going up, there is work in progress, working around transportation and placement program. and then we had a discussion on history, social studies updates. specifically, around the 4th grade mission projects. and halloween and indigenous peoples day. jennifer began the meeting with the land acknowledgment. and read a piece where that information came from. there is a draft of big ideas. love and appreciate who we are, and studying the truth and beauty. creating something that is longs

i'm meg and i've been driving sfusd children in a yellow school bus for the last 34 years.last time i spoke about the high cost of the equipment and audio video cameras that the district wants to place on all buses. this time i would like to speak about the district's decision to divide part of the transportation contract to potentially utilize standard vans for home to school transportation instead of using school buses. the school bus industry is entirely based on safety down to the color of the yellow bus which was chosen after studies showed it had the highest visibility in low-light conditions. all the laws, regulations, multiple agency oversight, extensive vehicle inspections, driver monitoring and training are put in place to ensure that school buses and those who drive them provide the safest transportation to school children. and the system works well. when the district proposes to use vans, the extensive safety oversight regulations and legal requirements for school buses and school bus drivers are thrown out the window and do not apply. a standard passenger van c
