Think should be a part of it. I can talk to the principals personally. That help is invaluable. I will tell you i was surprised when we did our first fundraiser. We have raised over 100,000 each year for this. I thought when people would talk about budget cuts and the reasons why we couldnt open the schoolyards, this is true. The use of proceeds i thought would be 100 paying for people to open and close the gates. The majority of the money is going to the ptas, and thats a good thing for them to apply on the weekends to program their school site. Layering an Additional School site is incrementally expensive. A, the funds are there to begin with. But b its not a cost issue, but a principal buyin issue. And i know that principals are talking to other principals. And parents talking. And michael and christine going to the schools is invaluable. Making the principals and the parents feel the buyin. I would like to say one other thing that is really, its so much now a part of the fabric tha
Waiting a month or two. They went to the pta, hey, look, we invested a lot of time on the Community Garden and would it be okay to hold off. I thought thats what it meant. And can you clarify pasara, a school in my community. Do they do the cleanup . Do they get the same level of service from the city . Yes, okay, good. Now i have a question. Is there you know you say you are looking for more schools to participate. So you have capacity for growth, because you know i look through this. And there are neighborhoods that are over represented and some that are clearly underrepresented. You have a bunch of school in the valley and in richmond and none in the intermission. So i think we need to do some specific outreach. If we want to have equity past who is interested. And we need to target some school and talk to some principals. And maybe other people in the community. And i would be happy to help with that. But also paying attention to that kind of balance is important. I will add to tha
Important part as well. Commissioner wynns. Thank you, i want to thank everyone, the report is very interesting. I have a few questions, can you tell me what hold means listed after argon . Argon we went and they were finishing their Community Garden project. They are on board, we are waiting a month or two. They went to the pta, hey, look, we invested a lot of time on the Community Garden and would it be okay to hold off. I thought thats what it meant. And can you clarify pasara, a school in my community. Do they do the cleanup . Do they get the same level of service from the city . Yes, okay, good. Now i have a question.

First of all attend principal meetings, sfusd, let them know about the program and say, who wants to sign up in the beginning. The goal was to get a big pool and choose a geographic first group to start with. Thats how we attacked it from the beginning. And how its played out so far. We are pretty much in the mode of seeking more principal growth and buyin. Thats why having a hearing like this and having good stories from our principals. I want to thank eve and david for coming today. And good stories from the ptas, and that positive impact on the school and grow that. Thank you, would you like to respond to the question . Commissioner mendoza. Thank you. There we go, thank you. I want to thank chris for the survey he did at the end of the year after supervisor farrells generous fundraising efforts. We had 11 schools on line and had one in every district, and we did that intentionally. Actually david was the only one not on at that time. That was a really positive experience, i think,
