Born one block that way at a bar. It was where chris and i had our first conversation about the project entity human being. Today things are arbitrate different back then there was two of us now theres 1 hundred and 10 of us so we need a Bigger Office today. So why do we need all this space not only for the 2 hundred and 10 people but because we have now 4 million urges on the website and the projects and 16 million unique visits every month that come to get human being. Com website. Its going good for us to be here this is where get human being was created this is the city of innovation and this is where we find some of the best talent here and its an honor to be here and revive this Historic Building to a place we can call home. So with that ill id like to turn it over to my friend and colleague the master said of this space the coordinator of get human being scott. clapping hello everybody can you hear me okay. I just wanted to say a few words about this space and a introduce oursel
For the organization. Thats just simple me thinking. I just want to put that out there because i dont understand how that happens. I understand. Supervisor wiener . Thank you. Im not going to express a view on the side of the board. I think there are boards of 10 or 12 or 14 that just function 15. But i do want to say that some of the issues that we heard today and this is general comment, you dont need to thank you. In terms of that there are outdated bylaws and procedures that should have apparently been updated a long time ago, havent been. We have the situation which has been resolved thanks to a lot of hard work but probably shouldnt have happened in the first place to have significant turnovers of executive directors which is not just recent thing but happened in the past as well. We see problems and apparent low moral among contractors who make the actual parade and festival work every year. And to me whether the comments whether the structure, its a challenging organization. Wh
Worked out. Im not going to deny the bumps in the road. Its helpful to hear from those that have gone through it. When i think about what is the tenderloin and excels yoir and even chinatown applied for the grant. What is really interesting is they have a high concentration of sros and all of the things that we have in the mission, but when it came to the educational piece in it we couldnt demonstrate that our kids that live in chinatown were not performing well. It really kind of was a stumbling block for their application. We know that we can do so much better when all of us can get behind our schools and then ultimately have greater outcomes. I always think about the citys role in all of this, as we educate our students, the impact it will have on health care and safety and work force, all the things that are critical for our st e to thrive is so dependent on how we educate our kids. The last thing is i want to really thank our city departments. The efforts around or city department
Whether you feel its the right strategy and we will be working towards on rfp to help fulfill some of those and very much appreciate peoples feedback in how this looks to and a commissioner rose mary applaud you i think its great. All of this is to complicated for our employees. And im really interested in the wellness piece. Im sure you meet with other directors but citywide theres a pie that happy people save us money because they dont get sick commissioner scott. I hope as your beginning to work with our outside firms youll bring in advanced pieces so we can get some reaction from both the board as well as from our members and the general public. I dont know if youre going to be testing things out before you put them on the website in a more form way but ill put that to you as part of our planning. I want to thank you for bringing that up. Feeling in fact, i went to a meeting and they have some team members from the standing for the record d school and their whole philosophy is abou
Money i would totally support that and i feel that we should train teachers in Digital Media. You cant teach cooking out a kitchen, so we need to bring Digital Media into the classroom so people can practice in the environments theyre in all the time outside of school. And i would say that having listened to the word Media Literacy as far as back when i was carrying 3inch quarter cassettes years ago and it was a great job. It really was. To teach media and Digital Literacy out of context is a fools error and we have the boring curriculums in the world and teaching it out of the context. We have to stop blocking. Yeah. I dont know. Somebody okay. Teachable moment. I hear everybody talk about thank you. Yeah. So i have learned the phrase teachable moment since becoming a resource officer and i try to incorp rat that with a discipline situation and i try to use the teachable moment with the parents as well so you can move forward all together instead of just making everybody upset. I have
