Students which is really exciting because Online Learning is where we are going in the future and also we are starting to develop professional development around blended learning and moving to the new millennium of learning in that aspect. Supervisor jane kim actually supervisor had a question about this. What this report acknowledges all our strategies and it doesnt include our outcomes from the graduation class. What happened was we passed an a through g graduation requirement necessary to bring rigor and to give students opportunities to graduate because they are the minimum requirements to make you eligible to apply for a csu and uc. I think what happened is the board voted then to because of severe budget cuts to cut all of Summer School and Credit Recovery options and the city camen and generously helped us fund.

Here we show that on track and offtrack students we had a Completion Rate of 91 percent or 241 attempted. Here are two charts looking at the outcome before and after the program. The first chart shows the personal percentage of on track students who completed the program. As you look at the chart over all before our Evening School over 29 students were on track.

Shes able to provide the technical assistance, provide any kind of support that the schools need and also contract every student, every school and run data based on that so we can assess where we are and either make improvements or adjustments as we go forth. Thank you. So this is something that i would like to talk about which we find very exciting and within the spirit of San Francisco. So, this is something that our office came up withnd we call it sprout funding. What we found is we budgeted our money and we felt that really to meet the needs and goals of the students we wanted to provide an opportunity for local school sites to be able to design their own program of Credit Recovery without kin
