Francisco Arts Commission where we got the journalists and do the profile of the amazing people to do the work in the bay view and from that community, profiling their expenses what their committed to, and those were in the broadcast on the radio. And we had an event that was packed to the gills with the people that were excited to hear the stories from the community and it was an emotional night and a powerful night and to me it is one night. And it is one community, within this big bay area, but i felt like it was a example of what a station like kalw can do and we did it in partnership and that is the kind of thing that we could leverage for do more and. And it is just a great series of the profiles that i will send out to all of and you check them out on your own time. And the last thing that i point out is if you flip this over and there are a couple of different pictures on the opposite side of this and the last two, and just kind of to me the examples of how the work that is hap
All parties. So to that end, i dont want to minimize in anyway the sort of the seriousness of the concern that while we are in the education business which recognize we are sitting on 150 pieces of probably some of the most valuable land in the city and county of San Francisco and never would have suggest that we sell the high school and capitalize on some of these assets because they are for the children and to educate our children. The way we judge value and asset is different from the economic real estate world judges a value of a piece of property on mission or on market or downtown San Francisco. Rate of return, capital investment, amortization those are key things when we are children learning in school. In that context, we have not had a single empty seat. For the first time in a long time, we have more kids than we ever counted on before and we have a middle School Bubble and we have things moving across the district and we need to be fluid and make fast changes. When the repor
Have you here and i think you are being modest in terms of everything thats been accomplished in the last few years. What is the cost of the school of the arts, is its 235 million or is it higher . We just actually retained a different architect because we think there is a connection in that community and our community to refresh the program, refresh the design and put a new cost estimate. That camen last month. It looks like 235 million. We have to recognize its a school and because ideal with the division of the state architect, my cost are 25 percent, more than it would be to build any other building in San Francisco. Its a higher standard because its like building a Police Station or hospital. Los angeles unified was over 300. Its not out of like for what you see on a project. Hayou very much. Is that it . Any other person presenting on this item . I dont think so. All right. Thank you very much. Supervisor campos. Thank you madam chair. I want to first of autumn, all i want to mak
Good for the station. And it gives us valuable content and makes us connection in the community. And speaking connection to the community, right below that, you see a couple of photos, from a really remarkable event that happened this last september called sites and sounds of bay view and this was the result of a collaboration between kalw and the San Francisco Arts Commission where we got the journalists and do the profile of the amazing people to do the work in the bay view and from that community, profiling their expenses what their committed to, and those were in the broadcast on the radio. And we had an event that was packed to the gills with the people that were excited to hear the stories from the community and it was an emotional night and a powerful night and to me it is one night. And it is one community, within this big bay area, but i felt like it was a example of what a station like kalw can do and we did it in partnership and that is the kind of thing that we could levera
Same time increase to do more to serve the community on the air and getting out into the community and so i just want to draw it. And we are happy to work at burton high and being able to work with the students and when we do a program with education and we can reach out there on the campus and we have a rent free space in San Francisco and that is nothing to look past and so we thank the district to all of the support that it provides. But financially when it comes from the cash support it is with the list eners and in particular with the major donors that has allowed us to put the station in a better position and also on this piece of paper the photo and i want to point out a couple of specific things. And on this side of things, for those, and i guess that we actually have a tv audience and they can see what i am pointing at. In september, with the support of a nonprofit called the association for continuing education which has been generous in its support of kalws work with student
