Committee on the council and i am so proud when we get an opportunity to share what were doing in San Francisco around educating english language learners, what were doing with the work of the pathways but most importantly when i share the work that the bcc does with my colleagues across the country.

I think the bcc made a good point about the data and the data reflected in the pathway reflects the data gap in the School System and im going to be a broken record. The achievement gap, the opportunity gap persists whether its english language arts, whether its math and its especially persists with students with disabilities so while were very proud of the work that we have done and appreciate what the bcc said we have a lot of work to do

Unfortunately of the five meetings we had we had quorum for three so that really impacts the work that we do so we want to reiterate if you can please make sure to communicate with your representatives. We want a full house and we want to work as fast and hard as we do. [speaking spanish] i also want to thank the commissioners that appointed us to these positions.

Now that were online people listen from all over. I feel that we started to see in my mind what that could be. There are many things in the report. I want to go over three examples that show the potential of the Community Resource that were fortunate to held on to for over 70 years at kalw. We had the biggest event and tavis smiley and cornell west and on a program we broadcast and said were interested in coming to the bay area. They were talking about the importance of fighting priority a national this and we made it open to the public. Commissioner mendoza, a lot of other Community Leaders were there to hear that message and what was important to me about it not that we brought in the incredibly articulate voices. People want to come hear cornell west and hear what we has to say in person and beyond that we partnered with a
The status quo to pull us away from where we go and for the commissioners we had a preliminary review of the data that was referenced here. We will do a more comprehensive report on the data and we will make sure its clean and we will have a public discussion with what the data says and again thank you. Thank you very much.
