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
Addressing those needs of students. We are a Firm Believer in that and we are excited with how we are Going Forward with that. Thanks. Okay. Seeing no further comments, thank you mr. Coffman and ms. Chan for the presentation. Our next select committee will be on the third wednesday of march now. And we have on deck we have the Childrens Fund hearing that supervisor avalos and yee have called for and hopefully the Controllers Office will have finished the data for all hearing request that supervisor mark farrell has called for. We want to do the after School Hearing in april because kevin will not be here for the march meeting. I think we better check on that because if its the third week, he might be here. I will have him check for that. Its during spring break. Let me check. We dont want to do the hearing until hes ready. Although actually they are very ready, but he wants to be here. I know for april i was planning to call a hearing on Summer School programming and summer jobs. So we
Down by race i feel theres something i dont know what it is but i feel some of this is missing it would giving me a good at some point whether or not they are offering more or less opportunity through our graduation is the gpa or the grades i feel like we ive seen indicate i gave us that showed us a large number of students that passed with a d or better this is the achievement gap and tha that type of data is pretty interesting to find out where were in the gap if we are doing all this to close the gap and give more opportunity for a there g will give important access but help us to close the gap to fully understand the gap if youre africanamerican students or latino or Chinese Students or weather white students if they all graduate with a majority of d thats not giving nor opportunity but closing the door to opportunity because why a there g you wont be able to be joining a Larger University so because of the entrance requirements im trying to get out of the information is about are
Rate, what is the difficulty and with ms. Yamamoto shes able to manage. We are were just going to do a few pilot schools throughout the district, but because linda is so fabulous and has a great reputation with the school site, we are able to roll this program out everywhere in the district. 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

We have the sowa school of the arts and sciences and partners with high schools and we offer biology and chemistry and i talked about the isa. We also have two new sprout funds which is an Elementary Learning Lab with a lead led by dr. Stevens.

We are also working with dcyf as well as ycd to start a ninth grade Bridge Program at our high schools. So to provide them with an opportunity to become acclimated to whats required and whats expected of them at the high school level. Im probably leaving something out. But i think you get idea of it. Once you hear about the summer Bridge Program. So we are going toef two cohorts at two sites at marshall and balboa with incoming ninth graders with with San Francisco unified and contributors to support the sprout idea. And for more i
