Supervisor mar the meeting will come to order. With the comto the november 8, 2019 meet welcome to the november 8, 2019 meeting of the committee. I am supervisor matt haney. Miss clerk, do you have any announcements . Clerk yes. Supervisor haney thank you. Madam clerk, will you please call the roll. [roll call] clerk mr. Chair, you have a quorum. Cha. Supervisor haney thank you, madam clerk, can you call the first item. [agenda item read]. Supervisor haney thank you, madam clerk. This is obviously a hugely Important Initiative for our city. Its one where i think it reflects the best of the partnership between city college and sfusd and one that is obviously of importance to the city and county of san francisco, as well. Its one that i know that supervisor walton and i had the opportunity to see and grow and strengthen at the time we were on the board of education and i want to thank the leadership of the board for supporting it and funding it, and i want to thank the extraordinary staff who are here from both institutions. Its incredible to see how much growth that is been in this partnership over the past five or six years, going from something thats nascient, had a couple of good parts in it, to one thats part of both institutions. I think its very exciting in something that our city as a whole should be embracing and supporting. So with that, i want to see if president randolph has any opening comments, as well. This was an item that he had requested, and were very excited about it, as well. Yeah. Thank you, supervisor haney, mr. Chair, for requesting this item. When i joined the board of trustees on city college in 2015, it was important for me to strengthen the partnership that we had with city college and the School District. For us to have a thriving city and successful students, it was important for us to make sure that students were graduating from sfusd have a pathway to education but also exposed to college while theyre still in high school. I was very excited that we were able to restart the joint committees between the school board and the city college board, and i want to thank both especially you, supervisor, for serving on that joint committee for several years. And i want to thank president cook for making sure that city college was able to be at the table when this joint committee was reestablished here at the board of supervisors because i think it is important for us all to be working together. Im very excited that the staff has been working really, really hard over the last five years to kind of reestablish the ties. And not only reestablish them, but significantly strengthening them. Youre going to be seeing today reports and actually data that show that we are actually making an impact with the students that we really, really care about. Im really, really excited to see this presentation and i want to thank the staff thats been here, thats been working extremely hard over the last several years to make sure this partnership not only gets reestablished, but it grows. And with that, im looking forward to having this discussion. Supervisor haney thank you, president randolph. With that, are there any members of the committee that wish to comment . We this fancy equipment . Just want to say and echo the comments of president randolph that we are so, so proud of our partnership with sfusd. As an sfusd graduate, i know how important our partnerships are, and i want to continue to strengthen that partnership. So really looking forward to this presentation and thank you everyone for bringing this to this committee. Supervisor haney thank you for that. Well start now with the presentations. Were going to hear first from sfusd and then after that, city college, so if i can ask the presenters from sfusd to come up and to state your name and your title before you begin the presentation. Thank you. Working now . There we go. Okay. Good morning, commissioners, trustees, and board of supervisors. Thank you for inviting us here today to give this update. My name is joanna feit, and i work in the office of curriculum and instruction in the office of college and career readiness, and we have several parts of our team that actually work do direct services for on ramp on to post secondary options. Today im going to give you an overview of the background of dual enrollment and give you some data and then give you some time to ask questions. So the background historically dual enrollment was serving students that are higher achieving students. They were selfenrolling and attending city college usually after school. And then, when we received the first Adult Education grants, we shifted to serve underrepresented students for dual enrollment. Another initiative that helps this cause was Assembly Bill 288, which allowed courses from city college to be at our high school campuses. So we have four models of dual enrollment that we run. The first we call ab 288, which means its during the school day at the high school. And one of the recent ones that we are very excited about is around the fire science pathway at Mission High School. We have been working together with supervisor walton, the chief of the Fire Department and city college and plan to actually, we already started that pathway this year, and currently, were just in the process of figuring out the next courses and how to what budget we will use and how that will be able to be sustainable in order to grow the diversity and the workforce for the Fire Department in san francisco. Our second model is early dismissal, and we have two schools that participate in this. And in this model, what we do is we send a Yellow School bus from sfusd that will pick up the entire senior class from those schools, and they bus them to city college for them to take afternoon classes. Those afternoon classes are usually pathway classes and classes that are transferrable to u. C. And c. S. U. Our third model is the afterschool model for our world language classes, and we also have ninth graders that are bussed over to city college to take mandarin classes and spanish classes, and then, we have a Robust Program in the summer. Many of them are here today. Thank you for that. Some of the supports that we provide are the bus. We also provide textbooks to all the students. Its about 100 per textbook on average. We also have laptops that they can do their work at city college. And then we have orientation and counseling sessions with students at the college, and then, we have outreach sessions so we can get the students that we want participating in open enrollment. So the colors are representing the years, and what you can see in the trends is we have been consistently increasing in the numbers of students that are participating in dual enrollment. And not own participating, but these numbers show the students that have passed classes in dual enrollment. This next slide shows you the change in ethnicity of students that have been participating in these classes. Like i mentioned in the beginning, originally, it was our high achieving students, and as the years have gone on and weve been doing targeted outreach, you can see our latino numbers are at 23 . Historically, city college are about 27 latino so were just about mirroring our graphics for sfusd and were continuing to get to that point. This slide shows the average credit students earned in dual enrollment. One of the reasons this has really grown is the fact that students are not only taking one course in high school, theyre taking multiple courses, and some students will leave high school with almost a full year of Community College completed. We also have been intentionally working on creating picking dual enrollment pathways that fit into our pathway courses or c. T. Courses at our high school. So we work with city college to figure out which classes best fit that pathway at that school and best matches the vision for the school and the district. So what can happen when we actually target certain populations . These next slides are going to show the growth. For African American students, weve seen a 900 growth since we first started. We embedded a lot of supports in there to make sure it was a successful initiative. Im happy to say that all the latest students have passed with a c or better, so that was a huge success. Were planning to do something similar with lab tech, and the intention is by the end of the summer, they would be actually hirable to work at a lab as a lab technician. Our latin numbers have also increased tremendously along with our English Learners. And this big increase you see in 1718 and 1819 are mostly due to the schools that were reaching out to. One school that we have is our international school. The entire senior class participates in this. And Thurgood Marshall also participates in this, and they have a freshman class that participates in dual enrollment. The last is our i. E. P. S, and were hoping to get more. What were working with city college is the accommodations that are very different between the accommodations that we offer in high school and the accommodations that we offer at city college, so that is something that were working on to resolve the issue. Another way that students can earn credit for dual enrollment is the Early College interns. And the Early College interns have three parts to it. The first is that they take a college course, the second part is they have a paid intern that goes along with it, and the third part is they have an sfusd seminar that goes along with it. You can see in the last year, 2019, we had a huge increase, and that was mostly because dcyf funded this program for us. So in this slide, you can see its mostly 10th and 11th and 12th graders that are participating in this. Thats mostly due to the maturity levels, and the recommended 120 credits requirement for city college, the recommended 120 credits to be in dual enrollment. And the paid internships the students are doing in the summer are at our Elementary Schools that are open or at our c. B. O. S working with our own children. So how does dual enrollment actually Impact College enrollment . In this slide, what you can see is the students that actually participated in dual enrollment and enrolled in college directly after graduating for high school. The red line are the students that did not participate in dual enrollment but also enrolled in some sort of college directly after high school. And what you can see is that for every group of students except for white or caucasian, the number increased if they participated in dual enrollment. So the last thing i want to cover before ending the presentation is some ideas on strengthening our partnership that we have been discussing with city college . So in this in this table, what i wanted to point out is on the last column for spring 2020, we you can see that we put in 17 requests for courses for our ab 288 courses, the ones at the school sites, but were only going to be able to offer ten, and this is due to Budget Constraints at city college that theyre currently trying to resolve. T the celebration in this is our high schools are wanting more and more classes from city college because our partnership has been going so successfully. So some of the im highlighting here the four highlevel initiatives, ideas that we have for improving our partnership . One is improving what part of the table that i just mentioned, which is offering more ab 288 classes that are aligned with the schools and the districts visions. The other thing is around having acceptive student counseling that includes timely student progress reports so that we can address intervention plans with our students before they get to the point that they fail out of a class or they want to drop out of a class. We would also like to provide professional development to the city College Instructors who Teach High School students because we can we would be able to provide them with best practices for Teaching High School students. And finally, its around studentcentered policies and procedures to pay fees for dual enrollments and for textbooks and for buses. Currently, all this comes out of funding through grants that we receive, so at some point when our grants go away, if they go away, a lot of this programming could go away because we would not have the funding or wed have to find other funding for it. So that is the end of my presentation, and if there are any questions . Supervisor haney thank you so much for your presentation. Are there any i have a few, but supervisor walton. Supervisor walton thank you so much for the presentation, miss feit . Yes, correct. Supervisor walton just a statement and a couple of questions. One, i definitely love the dual enrollment work, especially when were talking about pathways and connections to careers, which i get real excited about and just want everyone to know from city college and sfusd that im going to make it part of my charge to make sure that the funding and the resources are available for us to have those types of pathway programs because i know that funding issues always come up and concerns always come up in that area. So you have my commitment on that. Looking at slide 14, i just quick question. Do we have a breakdown in terms of the first language of English Learners . Can we get that . Well, the highest number is spanish, and then, it would be mandarin, and then it keeps going. Like at s. F. International, they have about 24 different languages. Supervisor walton okay. And then on slide 15, i know you talked about differences in terms of accommodations for students with i. E. P. S in sfusd and ccsf. Can you just give an example of what happens differently . Yeah. So some of the accommodations that high school offers, for example, might be a shortened assignment or a modification in the actual content, and some of those accommodations, city college is not able to offer, i believe, but i would allow i would Like City College to talk more about their part of their accommodations because im not totally familiar with that part, but i do know that theres certain accommodations that theyre not able to offer. Supervisor walton thank you. Can anybody from city college just and we dont have to go in detail. Im just trying to get an idea of what so your question hi. Im the associate vice chancellor of instruction. And your question is on our disabled Student Services and what we have for accommodations . A student, according to our the laws that we have to abide by by the state has to identify themselves and go to what we called our d call our dsps Services Office and show what accommodations they need. Theyll then get paperwork which then allows for the instructor to be able to adhere to some of those accommodations. For example, they can have extra times on tests, they can have their test in a different area where its quiet, and there are other accommodations depending on if they need a note taker, etc. , etc. Its actually quite wide. Do they need a service dog . Do they need so these these are all done through our dsps services, but in college, you have to selfidentify. Supervisor walton so there is no, like, transfer, if you had an i. E. P. Or the student has to bring that i. E. P. To to their im afraid that thats the laws that we have to abide by. Supervisor walton thank you. Ill just add to that, thats one of the hard part for our students, is having to go selfadvocate without their case manager there, so that becomes a little difficult for our students to do. Supervisor walton thank you. Supervisor haney commissioner cook . President cook thank you, again, for the presentation. I love this program. I love dual enrollment. I participated in dual enrollment when i was a student at thurgood, and i would take english classes at night. Its a wonderful thing to see the growth in classes in high school. Ive seen the partnership evolve, so congratulations. Thank you. President cook some of the i wrote a resolution, along with mark sanchez last year, which i didnt hear reference in this presentation, but the idea of that was to figure out how to decrease barriers for students that want to engage in dual enrollment specifically as it related to the credit requirement and getting a letter from your principal. Are you familiar with that . Yes. I was at that meeting. President cook okay. Can you tell me if that has been taken up by family yeah. So weve been talking about that, and city college trusts that if weve given them a consent form, that they have the 120 credits or if they dont, that theyve been approved to go without the 120 credits. And also, that the High School Pathways students dont have 120 credits. And also in terms of the consent form, if the consent form gets denied, it comes to our office and we will override the denial and theyre good to go. President cook yeah. So part of the president randolph and i just had a meeting with the president of the Compton School board. In there, theyve expanded Middle College to integrate College Classes into the ninth grade and through the whole high school. Were going to continue the discussions with them. You mentioned something in your presentation about 120 credits and the maturity level of students and, you know, to build on the success of the program, what im trying to see happen is we we have more ninth graders enrolled from sfusd at city college. And so and so the g. P. A. Requirement, the credit requirement, and the timing for families can be kind of inconvenient. So if, for example, a student who is credit eligible didnt know the opportunity existed by the time that summer came, and they cant get ahold of their principals, they cant take classes over the summer. That was one of the reasons that i would be trying to get rid of the parental so theyd come to us, and wed approve them to be able to take the summer classes. The approval does require a parental signature, but then, we sign off on those. President cook okay. So if theres something that says if you cant get ahold of your principal, send it to this office . Yes. President cook and where are we with plans in expanding city college to the ninth grade . Do we have any growth goals around it . Well, we have
