My name is [inaudible] serve as super intendant of San Francisco unified. Superinant [inaudible] i was making sure you are paying attention. Just making sure. We dont have a rap for you. Check out this rap, so 3 years ago, this Industry Leader came to us and said, we are going to tell you what you are going do and give you funding for it. What he did is went to the principles and our mayor and to super intendant and sat and said what do you want to do. The outcome is you have to be the best School District in theination what does it take to get there and it was a conversation that developed and we are so forninate that we now in year 4 of our relationship and partnership with sales force and by a long shot, one the best parts of that relationship is our sales force employees that spend time in the schools and classrooms. All of the students here today, and i want you to listen to this for a minute. When the going gets tough and you think why am i in school i want you to look at super intendant wilson. I want you to look at super intend of San Francisco because i look like some of you. [speaking spanish] i didnt speak english either and now we get to do this thing be super intend squnts educators. Look at your mayor who didnt grow up in a silver spoon and Community Advocate and congresswoman. We want you to to center what we didnt have. I have one more day on the job so i can say this, what mr. Ben off and sale force is doing is change california education because until the state ofical considers Public Education as a investment rather than a expense, think about that, rather than a expense we have to do but think of Public Education in the investment in the future workforce and technology of our great state, until they do that and think about that you will have luminaries like mark ben off and others that say we get the bigger picture. By our very very humble investment we will allow youlet me tell you what happened in San Francisco, we developed a prek 12 computer [inaudible] you will hear talking about kindergarten code, we want Computer Science because that is who mr. Ben off will hire. Computer scientist who can apply the math and science. We reduced class sizes and bring parents together and able to createi labs, the principles who is leading a revolution in a middle school, the namesake of which gets me shokeed up, Martin LutherKing Middle School principle michael [inaudible] they pooled their money in in the private industly you can be innovative and some work and some dont work. In Public Education because hof the scrutiny and accountability for the public dollar we dont get to try thing jz say they wont work. Bhaut this investment has done is given the principles and community the tublt try stuff out and when they tried stuff out lots worked. The Innovation Lab and maker spaces and pooling the money and creating welcome centers. Creating classes student can take internship jz go into the workforce and see i can do this work too. I 92 ed to apply myself in school. That is the game changer for us and here to tell you my brother jz sister in oakland, there is no way we can be successful in San Francisco if you are not absolutely hitting it out of the park in oakland. We are with you and we already collaborated on our common core math implementation and doing things better, we are diagnose things different and where across the state of california people say what are the people in oakland and San Francisco doing with math instruction. We have the proof that it is actually teaching kids at a higher deeper level so take that. [applause] more than anything, what i want to say to all you here and especially mr. Beenoff because you dont find Corporate Philanthropy that takes time to listen, i want to say thank you for listening and investing in our future, thank you for investing in those people that come to work every day with nothing but the best intentions for rour o urxhern rchlt my brother from another mother, super intendant an twaun wilson. He knows where you have been and will show you where you can go. My last comment before i turn it over to the man the hour because we are in his house. Thank you an twaun for inviting us in your district. I want to introduce interim super intendant [inaudible] thank you for stepping up and taking on the responsibility for us. [applause]. In case you want today know, he is also related to congresswoman lee and mayor lee. Just spells the name a little differently. It soofamily affair here. I want to say oakland stay strong, stay proud and stay learnen and San Francisco like tony bennett said, you know where my heart is. Here is super intendant an twaun wilson. Give it up, this is your super intendant. Lets hear it good afternoon frick impact academy. How are you doing today . I will tell you i will be brief. I know that will help you. I know you are excited to go back to doors and get to learning. I want to say a few thank yous. I want to appreciate marx and sales force and all the employees. You can be doing anything but you chose to invest in oakland and be here and be support said for our students and examples for the students. Thank you. It makes a trumendss difference in the district. I appreciate the mayor and city. I it think is important it the future the city rests in the young people and investzment in young people. It is important to actually act that out and have the mayor invest in oakland promise and say do everything we can from the moment young people are born to the moment they get a successful career. That is putting the actions with the lip service and say we believe it can happen and we will do something about it. The mayor has invested and raised money and had Council Members do the same. Appreciate our school board. School board saying we want to do more. What we have been doing isnt good enough. We are pleased with the fact we made progress we need to go faster. We need to do more which means prur sue every opportunity and this is making sure student have access to the best that is available. It is really exciting to hear mark say we want to make sure there is among the best districts in the wrurld because that is exactly what we need if we provide young people with the opportunity to be successful. I want to appreciate the School Leaders because after my conversation with mark he asked to speak to School Leaders and i knew when he met the School Leaders he would see this is a place to invest and leaders and talented and believe in the young people. They are also leading a group of teachers, educations and want to appreciate the teachers. Both for your rapping skills [applause] and also what you do every day coming in and making a difference for your young people. I was here before the start the school year before you were here getting ready for the start of the school year and appreciate that. Just a fewthis i want to share and turn to impact and that is real numbers. We talked about Computer Science, the impact, it is making a differerance and important to understand this, to do well in Computer Science you need to not be afraid and step into the classroom and raise your hand and not with aeroeif you have the answer correct and say this is what i think the answer is and why i think it st. The answer. In order to do that you have to have investment and support. In oakland, this year, going from this year to last year to this year, we have 2853 secondary students enrolled in Computer Science. Laest year there was 685. [applause] what this investment will do is help accelerate that number because investment in middle schools. This Year Middle School 621 student enrolled in Computer Science, 4 times the number of last year so excited about tha. That will allow the investment in the schools to accelerate the work and we want the outcomes sf has seen. Increased graduation and achievement and see the Student Graduate and go to college so take advantage of the center up stairs and the tutoring here and to help you tutoring model it says the tutoring parents pay for we want to provide in the school day and that is what had is happening in at frick. As i close i want to say this, if we are successful and take the vest ment in young people. Investment of time and dollars. It takes individuals willing to say i will do more and i will get involved. What i would hope will happen is the people come and see the enthusiasm and take a tour and see what is happening and visit Others School and say we want to make sure california with super intendant [inaudible] i appreciate richard so much because he is a tremendous collaborator and sf. We want to make sure what he said is true and that is that, the whole state sees investment in education as its responsibility. Among the top per capita countries and nations in the state. There is no way we should be in the bottom states in Education Funding and this investment here is a a example saying this is what we do to change that. Thank you. [applause] one of was asked to do is Water System Improvement Program and one thing i looked at is about the 4. 8 billion dollars wurthd of work and a lot of the work was regional. We looked at how can we make sure that we provide opportunities for san franciscans and people in the region and so we looked at ways we can expand our local San Francisco lb program. So, we thought about it and worked with general manager at the time to form an advizry committee to talk about how to include local businesses in the region. I was on the First Committee back about 10 years ago and the job changed over time. In the beginning, we just wanted people to know about it. We wanted to attract contractors to come into the system which is a bidding system and bid on some of these projects. Our second job was to help the sfpuc to try to make themselves more user frndly. I like that they go out of their way, have contractors trying to teach and outreach to Small Businesses and lots of creative ways. Help the community as well. There is so much infrastructure going on and repair, new construction that i think is helping to get construction back on its feet. My faiv rlt part of the committee has been that we have played a opportunity for many Small Businesses. [inaudible] Women Owned Business to come in and [inaudible] sfpuc. It is a great opportunity because some are so small they have been able to grow their companies and move up and bid other projects with the sfpuc. Everyone i was talking about with any contractor [inaudible] and super markets and things like that and i realize the transition was on the sfpuc. He got that first job and knows about the paperwork qu schedule and still works on this type of job, but he works with general contractors that also did other things. Pretty soon it is like he did that one and that one. It completely changed his business. My name is nancy [inaudible] the Office Manager and bid coordinator for [inaudible] construction. Worked on 10 plus puc, lbe contracts. Today we are doing Site Maintenance on the [inaudible] chr site and currently the gentlemen behind me are working on every moving and basic specs of plants. In order to be success you need to work hard, bid low and keep a look at the sfpuc website for future bidding opportunity. This is a Successful Program because it provides opportunities to regional communities that might not have opportunities to work for large scale projects. The sfpuc is a fortunate agency we have a lot of Capital Program that span over 7 counties who also to see how some businesses like [inaudible] and bio mass started as small micro businesses grow and expand and stay in the program and work on several projects before they graduate from the program. That is what warms my heart. My name is college willkerson, the principle for bio mass. Bio mass has been in business since 2006. 3 partners. Small businesses fill a niche but apply and being a part of the program helped us be more visible and show the city and county of San Francisco we can also perform services. This program had tremendous impact to the region. In fact, the time we rolled the program out was during the recession. This has h a major positive impact and certified over 150 firms in the rejen and collectively awarded 50 million in contracts, and because of the lbe certification it open many opportunities to work with sfpuc. And, i significantly helped the business. It is one of the major contributors to our success. Ever wonder about programs the city it working think to make San Francisco the best place to work and will we bring shine to the programs and the people making them happen join us inside that edition of whats next sf sprech of Market Street between 6th is having a Cinderella Movement with the office of Economic Workforce Development is its fairy godmother Telegraph Hill engaged in the program and providing the reason to pass through the corridor and better reason to stay office of Economic Workforce Development work to support the economic vital of all of San Francisco we have 3 distinctions workforce and neighborhood investment i work in the tenderloin that has been the focus resulting in tax chgsz and 9 arts group totally around 2 hundred thousand square feet of office space as fits great as its moved forward it is some of the place businesses engaged for the people that have living there for a long time and people that are coming into to work in the the item you have before you companies and the Affordable Housing in general people want a safe and Clean Community they see did changed coming is excited for every.
