Communication organization, school individuals, parent coalitions and youth and weve had a multiple advisory groups and in fact two advisory groups and weve had support from our philanthropic visors to have conversation about what is it that we as a city want to accomplish. There has been a number of lessons and actually input that we heard from the community. So what have we heard from the community . The results have been very sobering for all of us. What we heard is a resounding call for us to do more and to do it better. That has been in the voice of parents and youth that has consistently told us that its still difficult to navigate the system. How do we built bld a system that is navigatable. How do we provide support to our providers and partners in the community and how are we going to align the services to maximum income. Estimate the services and how we look at these funds and how do we better the experiences of our students particularly through the lens that are equitable. C
Really permit aetd through those process there is a lining of common themes of community and creasing evaluation and enhancing and coordination and Planning Commission and increasing financial certainty and stability and very strongly how do you expand services and leverage resources. So what is our approach as we are speaking and working through the programmatic issues. We are imagining how do we create collective impact for not just the city, no the just the School District, not just the community, but how do we all come together to leverage resources so we are enhancing serves services and addressing coherent services. We call that kids first. How do we start with the needs and wants for kids and how do we empower families to access resources in a very very easy way and how do we ensure that equity and authentic shared accountability is the hallmark of everything we do as we go forward. With that, i would like to ask the director of the department of children youth and family maria
Our city collaborative to improve the outcomes of the Public Education Enrichment Fund and the Childrens Fund, and other policy recommendations for the reauthorization of city clerk sf 41234 thank you. This item was submitted by supervisor avalos and mar. Take it away. Supervisor john avalos thank you for my cosponsors on this and supervisor mar and breed. I would like to thank the superintendant of School District mr. Carranza that is here and the department of children and families. We are looking at the Childrens Fund. The landmark legislation that was passed early in 2001. We authorized in the year 2000. In the past 23 years, the Childrens Fund has had a remarkable run, has had an enormous changes and many communities have been stabilized by the Childrens Fund and a lot of young people have that had opportunity to have real excited Youth Development activities that have made a huge difference in their lives. We are now seeing a generation of young people as young adults come back w
Happen because quite frankly if we were prioritizing where we were going to bus to, this would not be a top priority to provide transportation to privately run after school programs. And giving transportation to those students that would not be my top choice, when we see students from the bay view getting transportation cut to their schools or from the schools. Another question that i just have is also have we alerted muni about these proposed changes . I have heard recently many complaints about the transportation to high schools and that many students arrive late to school because they simply cannot even get on the bus. That so many schools are along certain particular lines of transportation where they are just heavily impacted and all at the same time. And therefore, many students are late for school, so they say, i am just kidding. They are late for school because they cant get on the bus and the buses actually pass them up. So you know that we have, probably the majority of our s
And do provide equalable access. In deeper conversations with the School Communities and working with the superintendents to think about what adjustments might be needed in the future. In terms of 1314, it would be these are the only changes that we are recommending for the 1314 school year. So, im work curious, if you can provide us not right now, but some just sort of a snapshot and data, i feel like i have lost, sort of, we had a lot of data around this when we were doing the student assignment. What schools are served by buses. You know . Just sort what that looks like now or maybe what it will look like in the 1314 school year, over all trends, how many students . Are we seeing any trends in terms of the rider ship going up, going down, different parts of the city . You know . Some of it may be just based on where we have added bus and where we have taken them away. But in general, are we see any kind of decrease or in crease in the number of students riding the buses .
