Hiv aids advocate and also hiv positive. I have seen the impact that high drug pricing has had on patients. I have seen pricing copays where have to decide whether to pay the copay or to eat. Those situations. I was very active on prop d and so glad that San Francisco passed it. This drug traffic is a run away train. How do you stop a run away train . You stop it. Before long if we let it keep going its going to collapse our system. Its one of the issues that wasnt taken care of in the Affordable Care act. It should go hand in hand with drug cost. Also i have seen patients, im one of those lucky patients where the city and state are paying for it. In the end, many are paying and there are a lot of people that dont qualify just by a margin for city and state help. So they are struggling each month to pay for their drugs, Life Sustaining drugs and in 98 they created hiv medicine that help people live. These are drugs they have to take everyday. As someone said earlier they created a hep
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. What weve seen through these strategies i think we should have brought our updated list on who is on track to graduate in 2014. We are actually so close. I was completel
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. After Summer School it increased to 24 percent. If you look at the second chart, it shows you the changes of graduation status of our offtrack students. They are initially offtrack at the beginning and after the Evening School program we show a positive change of 33 percent. 33 percent is the offtrack students able to move up in their graduation status meaning they are closer to graduation. It shows a break down of 12 and 11 and 10th graders. Moving forward one of the things we have here is the spring Evening School where we offer courses in biology, english and should be noted as well in the fall Evening School we had a specia
Also do it for the future of the children and the families and in particular our students that will graduate from our city halls and hope theyll be able to live here and raise children. I believe in order to do that we must work with the city to make it happen. And i think that we can hold everyone accountable. Theyre not the ones to evaluate us around the student achievement we evaluate ourself but the commitment so the 55 public children and those who will come to us. Im okay with this. I have to say its a leap of faith but im okay i feel like the way weve been doing it is not effective were losing more and more of our africanamericans families its a hard gap to close we only have them for 6 hours a day and theres a Larger Community that needs to support our children this is a way to Work Together so its more efficiently and finishing. Im going to close the comment and moving on to our next temazepam n consent calendar resolutions. And there are none together and a vote on consent ca
