And whereas an accurate count of persons living in the city and county of San Francisco in the 2020 census is vital to determine the representation of individuals, families and communities in our local, state and federal governments. And whereas the 2020 census count of children living in sfusd will be the basis of federal Education Funding allocated to our schools over the next 10 years, specifically the federal program serving our students living in poverty and students with disabilities. And whereas the population data derived in the 2020 senseus wi l be used to determine which communities in the city of San Francisco can receive libraries and grocerys and retail stores. And whereas the populations that are prevalent in the urban areas, including the city and county of San Francisco, are at higher risk of being not crow cd and plus lgbtq plus communities and language minority families and undocumented residents and tenants that are foreign born, and those with limited internet access. And whereas children are more likely to be missed in the census count if they reside in the complex household and its also common in urban areas. Such as multigenerational households and extended families and multifamily households and whereas during the 2020 census theres a risk of an undercount due to the Digital Divide and Language Access issues and local Community Mistrust in the federal government. And whereas, local and state governments as well as communitybased organizations can play a Critical Role in counteracting the undercount risk and reaching hardtocount populations and ensuring that their communities get counted in 2020. And whereas the San Francisco current selfresponse rate is 57. 9 . Which is below the National State responses. And the selfresponse phase is scheduled to end on october 31, 2020. And where is didas its pair moe principals and educators and parent organizations and all local leaders and sfusd to community the importance of census 2020 to families and Community Members to ensure that everyone is counted. Therefore, be it resolved that sfusd will develop and adopt a plan of action around ensuring a complete count of all students and their families within the School District on the 2020 census by august 31st. And be it further resolved that sfusd is committed to working in partnership with other local, civic, business and community leaders, the state of california and others to engage and educate and count every resident in the 2020 census. President sanchez thank you so much, commissioner lam. Any Public Comment on this item . Yes. Hi, thank you so much for this and i just want to thank commissioner lam for the work on this and the other one as well. Thats a lot of work. I wanted to have a shoutout to the student delegates for that other resolution. Thank you, thank you, thank you. These are not meaningless. They really matter. So i appreciate your efforts in doing this, commissioner lam. Thank you. That was it for Public Comment president sanchez. President sanchez thank you. Commissioners . Okay, commissioner lam. Commissioner lam i just wanted to note on record that our executive director of San Franciscos office of Civic Engagement adrian pond back in february in a public hearing acknowledged and recognized that a quarter of the citys population is vulnerable to the undercount. Which can translate and result to more than 4 billion lost in federal funding over the next decade. So given that, coupled with what were seeing as the underresponse rate now at 57. 9 , and how that gets magnified around the lawsuits for federal funding coming back to the city and county of San Francisco. President sanchez upwards of 100 million a year. And so the council might have a template model for us to look at in terms of how we can come up with a plan ourselves. So i dont want us to have to totally invent it on our own but asking commissioner lam, could the staff have something by august 31st that can be rolled out, is that correct . So just wanted to put it out there so that the staff can utilize the councils efforts. No other comments or questions, roll call. Thank you. Miss collins, yes. Mr. Cook . Yes. Miss lam. Yes.

I dont know if staff had any others. To be clear, you are meeting the resolution for 200,000 yes. And those dollars actually are from sales force and theyre directed just for that. And then the one for the bond work, i think that its number 16. President sanchez so can we vote on those and hold off on the others to the next Board Meeting . Okay were talking about the k resolution, is that k13 and k16, mr. Superintendent . Or is this 13 and 16 in its quite different. Theres a difference here. Number nine is consent calendar item 9. But within that the one that is for the bond you see them or no . President sanchez so well vote on those two and the rest well hold off until next one, okay .

And why dont we take at least a fiveminute break. Five minutes and then the nex next. You can find out more information about this data and on our data tracker, on our online data sunny skies sf. Org covid19 for full details. I want to just kind of update all of you on a few things and get to dr. Colfax and some important things that definitely need to be discussed. First of all, this past monday dr. Colfax and i had a monday was yesterday, right . It feels like monday every day, but yesterday dr. Colfax and i, along with dr. Susan phillips, had this great conversation about what it would take to reopen, and we talked about the indicators and the hospitalizations and a number of other things and the various phases. It was a very good conversation, and i think it is needed. What we found from that conversation are, of course, a number of questions, and many questions centered around when will we will able to get child care open, summer camps, schools and other things centered around children because i know many parents are anxious to not just get a break from their children but to get back to work and to get their kids involved in activities, and i know kids are anxious to play with their friends, and so this friday at 11 30 i, along with bill ginsburg who is the director of park and rec and others will have a conversation around some of the options that we have available and what you can expect for the future. It will center around opportunities mostly for the summer and transitioning kids into, you know, a place where we can allow in some cases some summer activities, and we will be able to speak to more details about that on friday and hopefully get to some of the questions that so many of the parents have. So we appreciate you all tuning in. We decided to cut back on some of the press conferences and really focus on the conversations with a lot of the leaders who are leading around Public Health, who are leading around support for children, youth and families, folks who are helping us to make the decisions about economic recovery as we move in our new normal of covid19 this provides us with an Incredible Opportunity to really get to the heart of, you know, what is of most concern to the people of San Francisco and answer your questions so that you are able to make plans or arrangements as information is provided to you. So we know that its been probably very challenging that we have not been able to provide you with specific dates or times around the things that you want to know the most, and as we have said before, this is a fluid situation and things can change at a moments notice, but because most san franciscans have complied with the orders, people have been wearing their masks, socially distancing themselves, and again i say most people. I didnt say all people, but most people have complied, and because many people are taking this directive seriously, we have seen a decline in the curve, and that is something to be proud of, but our goal is to get rid of it entirely, and thats going to take continued work. Yesterday was the first day that shops were able to open for Curbside Pickup, and some offering delivery. I stopped by green apple, a bookstore, in the inner sunset, and they have another location further out. I was so happy to buy a book. I just didnt know what to do with myself. It felt good to go out to the community and to support this incredible institution. This past friday i picked up dinner at the golden mira. I stopped by, you know, the garden center, and it just you know, to be able to support these businesses was really i
