So this is an important policy for the city. Unfortunately with our first two classes the level of cuts that theyve been experienced has not allowed our School District to fully support the program that is needed to do that.

So i would like to make a motion to continue this item as well to december 4. And i do want to thank my cosponsors, supervisors campos,n mar, avalos and olague. President chiu seconded by

Press we are finding a large number of students are not on track to graduate and our first class to graduate a through g is set in the next few semesters. We have a short timeframe to do that in. We have made this commitment to grow and encourage jobs in the city. We new he had to make sure that our students that are growing up in the city are able to access those jobs because theyre graduating collegeready. I want to be clear when we talk about a through g i hear the debate not all kids have to go to college and i agree but all of our kids have to graduate ready for college because you graduate ready for college youre able to access living wage jobs and if you dont have math and science classes that are required a through g youre not going to be able to go into apprenticeship for building and trade programs.

San francisco has to do better than that. And even though money is not everything, the ability for us to commit resources as a city is really important. And what i understand of this item is that there is a discussion about whether or not to tie the funding thats underlying this item to the Rainy Day Fund. And to the extent that happens, to the extent that there is a connection between this appropriation and the Rainy Day Fund, i will not support it. The Rainy Day Fund was created for the very purpose of this city making Public Education a priority.
