Of education law and the process and i was talking about a principle today and she was explaining the difference between an io4 and the other document. In my heart there is a lot of issues and its like going to the doctor and getting a diagnosis that youre uncomfortable with. I want to urge our legal team, communications team, and those that work with family liaisons, i dont know know of ways that were educating people on their rights. Parents can request assessments and its confusing how do we do that. I dont think its Common Knowledge that a parent can say theyre concerned about their comments and they want them assessed. If your child is assessed and you want them to go through the process, im not aware of any protocol for educating families on their rights. Maybe we have that, but its not visible on the website. If i dont know it, im assuming im one of those pretty involved parents. I look for those handouts and things to help families. I dont even know where to look. So i think we

It did take a village. I was really lucky when i was 14 years old to get an internship. The difference that it made for me is i had a job, but there were other people who didnt have a job, who, unfortunately, needed money. And they were shown to commit illegal acts to get money. That is what i want to prevent. [ ] today we are here to officially kick off the first class of opportunities for all. [applause]. Opportunities for all is a program that mayor breed launched in october of 2018. It really was a vision of mayor breed to get to all of the young people in San Francisco, but with an intention to focus on young people that have typically not being able to access opportunities such as internships or workbased learning opportunities. Money should never be a barrier to your ability to succeed in life and that is what this program is about. Theres always these conversations about young people not being prepared and not having experience for work and if they dont get an opportunity to wo
Distracts us from paying attention to whats around us. I cant tell you how many people have had their phones snatched out of their hands because they werent paying attention to whats around them. We cant prevent everything but we can prevent a lot of things. So Pay Attention. We know people have to make calls and you have to answer your calls, but Pay Attention as you do that because it just makes for a more vigilant and resilient San Francisco when you do that.

My daughter is here in town and i promised here i was going to take her shopping. [laughter] so thank you. With that ill turn it over to commissioner adams. [applause] thank you. Im going to be very brief. First i want to thank mayor breed, supervisor, joaquin, mary, jorge, for bringing this event to the castro this year. I want to acknowledge the president of the castro merchants who asked me to come in today
