i teach at john o'connell saturday mornings. my students range from extremely college ready to getting there, and i love seeing the opportunity to have conversations with people about their future because the very nature of community organizing isn't just about politics, it just about civic engagement. when we talk about paul robeson, they say hey, i'm interested in getting into theater. what does that have to do with theater? same thing with art, being able to tell people that now that they're a city college student, they can take advantage of these program, and that's a beautiful thing, watching people's minds open up to possibilities that were there all along but they didn't know that they were there. so that's great. alex and hillary have both visited -- visited the class. i invite everyone to do this. i believe that this is one of the major pathways towards the equity that we are all -- all striving for. there are many controversies at city college, and this should not be one of them. this is something we should all be unit

i am susan ryan, the very proud principal of john o'connell high. o'connell's different because we're a small school designed to make sure that individual school students at our school fluorish, and i can think of no more important person than samantha aguirre. she makes sure they're successful at o'connell, making sure they have strong literacy and presentation skills. she is an m.v.p. for student leadership, running the student leadership at our school. she's an m.v.p. when it comes to athletics, coaching track and cross-country. she runs social media at o'connell. she's an incredible person, and she's been with us four years. i can't imagine our school without her, and in a special distinction, she is nominated by a parent. i'm sorry, i don't have the words in front of me, but essentially, she is relentless in making sure that every student is successful and making sure every student is a leader in the school. so thank you, mis-aguirre. she's -- ms. aguirre. >> i want to thank our schools on the side of the city that are sometimes hard to staff b

the lead cafeteria worker at john o'connell high school. this is presented by jennifer. >> good evening. it is my great pleasure to recognize dexter james, the lead dining staff employee at john o'connell high school for his rave award. dexter has been working for the district for over 30 years. [applause] yeah, let's give a big round of applause for that. dexter is an amazing individual who cares deeply for his students. i want to emphasize his students. they believe they are his students to take care of every day. he has a welcoming smile and always engages with the students. students know when asks, how are you doing today? that he really wants to hear from them about what their day is like. he creates meaningful relationships with the students and with the staff. he takes the time during the busy meal service to greet each student. he lets them know what he is serving and by eating healthy meals, they'll be ready for class. at breakfast he asks to see them at lunch. he wants to always create a welcoming environment for them. the coworke

when i look at this and see they are across from john o'connell, they will have unlimited sunlight, unlimited open base, and that is very valuable whether they are rental, condo, or short-term rental, or whatever office space is there. that school is not going to go away, unless they build on the playground there. i can't imagine they will do that. that is public lands. getting a fabulous and if it that everybody would love to have, perpetual sunlight. thank you. >> thank you. any other public comment on this item? okay. public comment is now closed. >> i, too, have the same question in terms of the ratio of office base to housing base. it is called a housing project, yet we have 2-1 office space in it. is this even considered a housing project? eligible for the city bonus? >> it is our read of the state density bonus law that it applies to any housing development of five units or more. there is not the same ratio environment that the housing accountability act contains. >> okay. my second session, it appears the concession, or incentives, further helped the office development portion of the

o'connell-style vocational program for people, adolescent kids who come from a dysfunctional family. and instead of them being in a situation like they're being a criminal, you can put them in a training program. it's made headline news about how the places being shutdown, and the amount of square footage that is located in that area and not being utilized with the type of homeless population that we've got of on or about 8,011 is no excuse for a city with the type of resources, land, and leadership that you claim that you want to help. it's counter productive. it's counter productive, so i had -- i'd like to have that included in a public agenda, and included in that, the response that i provided, you build the two towers and instead of having developers in the process for profit. i did a demonstration with walton about that that saves -- >> chair fewer: okay. thank you mr. wright. thank you very much. seeing no further public comment, public comment is closed. madam clerk, do we have any other business today? >> clerk: we have no further questions today. >> chair fewer: on behalf o

o'connell high school. it means so much to me as a youth. >> please speak into the microphone. thank you. >> living here because of my friends, we play basketball there every summer which is important to them. i want to see my friends enjoy the sun in the park as we watch them play for fun. the park is important because we only have a few parks that we can go and enjoy the place without shadow blocking the sun. i also have a statement from a man who is 18 years old and lives in the south of market and is currently attending city college. he says i grew up playing on the park and many other kids had the same experience. is the only park that soma has that is truly theirs. more shadows will limit the exposure to the sun, and the kids need it to develop their young bodies. more shadows will mean less vitamin d. more shadows can cause people, especially kids, do not come to the park is often because of the senate lack of sun. we all know this. this kind of development will not -- will only benefit a few. it wil

[applause] for almost 30 years, our district and our district program, the lgbtq support services have committed to transforming schools into cultures of affirmation and inclusion for our lgbtq students and families. tonight, i want to acknowledge that the san francisco unified school district, with 250 members of our district community, will march in the lgbtq pride parade this weekend to demonstrate our solidarity and commemorate the 50th anniversary of the stonewall riots. we believe that harvey milk once said, all young people, regardless of sexual orientation or identity deserve a safe and supportive environment in which to achieve their full potential. our participation in pride shows our ongoing commitment to create a society that acknowledges and celebrates lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender? or and nonbinary people. all san francisco unified schools will be closed on jul

>> over a couple of the african-american parent advisory councils, one at john o'connell, the students spoke about their experience and they wanted to highlight the experience for african-american males and what type of appropriate staffing was provided to support those students. we heard same school, kind of overlapping, it's the student voice. we're giving a lot of services for our african-american students, a lot of resources coming in, but it's not necessarily what the kids have asked for. so the children were saying, hear our voices, tell our stories and allow us to be on the decision-making team. >> and then i guess i had another question. i'm seeing connections with a lot of conversations we've been having on the board. there has been a lot of conversation around wellness. it seems there is a lot of communities talking about it, we've been talking about it on the board. and i'm also connecting that with budget and questions i've been asking around social workers and was surprised to see, some schools have part-time, some schools have full-time. i'm wondering about staffing in re

here is just a picture of we're working with john o'connell on the high school e.m.s. day, which was a success, and a picture of some of the command staff and a member, danny grazia attending a barbecue at station 49. it's very great that we're spending sometime with the members at 49. the interaction has been working really well. like i said, the coffee. we had -- starbucks sponsored a coffee with a paramedic, one day with each of the providers. so king american had one day, a.m.s., and r.f.f.e. it was well received. here, we have members of the public committee, loss prevention team, who staffed a safety booth at this year's carnivale at the mission. we'll talk a little bit more about that later. our community outreach continues. this is engine 23 with many of the p.i.o. community outreach events. this was a safety event. whoops, use that slide. district safety fair in the mission. this was a success, and with many community members, we're learning life safety and disaster preparedness with the tools. we've seen this picture before, but in light of some of the events

i go to john o'connell high school. >> pulled the mic a little closer to your mouth. there you go. there we go. >> i have some recommendations for the m.o.u. i feel like this should be -- they should be no arrests made if it is avoidable. the communities insecure with police presence at schools. the m.o.u. should require stricter office guidelines for officer conduct. reducing police discretion in situations in reducing the chances of misunderstanding and disagreement regarding the procedure. i don't feel comfortable with police around because, you know, i have been having bad days at school and they feel like they are going to push me against the wall or something. i don't know. when we need the police, they are not present, for example, we had a big fight at o'connell where the mom was involved in the fight and there were no police officers. if we are going to have police at our schools, they should be working with our security so they know when they should be there and when not. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good morning, everybody. i have a couple of questions to as
