Lamar williams, and mr. President and madam clerk, i would like the opportunity to share a few words on mr. Williams after supervisor walton did his in memoriam as he has deep ties to both district five and district 10. President yee okay. Madam clerk, go ahead. Clerk thank you, supervisor preston. Supervisor ronen . Supervisor ronen thank you. While i didnt have the honor of knowing tui, so many people that i care about cared so much about her, and i just wanted to express my condolences to her husband and family as well as to our colleague, sonny angulo. What a tremendous loss. In addition, im introducing a resolution today, urging Governor Newsom and the department of Public Health to prioritize californias Public School educators for phase one vaccine access. In the early stages of this pandemic, San Francisco and other communities across the state closed schools to slow the spread of the coronavirus across our community. Schools responded by instantly switching to Online Learning at levels that had never been seen before. The Ongoing School closures have substantially cut Student Learning time, limited the ability of educators to provide their usually levels of tremendous support, decreased times for students to develop social and other skills. The disproportionate effects of covid19 on black, african american, latino, and Pacific Islander families have only exacerbated the effects of the virus. Many School Districts i should say most Public School districts remain closed, with no clear timelines or commitments for reopening in the near future. If we do not act now to resolve this dangerous disruption to our Public Education system, the deep learning deficits caused by School Closures could have and will have lasting impacts on our students in the form of behavioral and academic challenges, grade repetition, and increased suspension and drop out rates over time. As we speak, california officials are developing a phased Distribution Plan in partnership be with the centers for Disease Control to determine which levels of the population will receive the vaccine first. Providing vaccines to all school site personnel, including teachers, paraprofessionals, janitors, and other support staff will be critical to our ability to reopen schools as soon as possible and get our families, our society, and our Community Back on track. This resolution urges Governor Newsom, the department of Public Health, and all others to prioritize our Public Health system by providing teachers and staff with vaccines after health officials. Education is a cornerstone of our democracy, and other countries, like france and england, they shutdown the entire society with only the exception of schools because that is the priority that those countries place on education. Here in the United States, weve done just the opposite, and at a time when our Democratic Institutions are under abeing at thttack, we ha obligation to protect the integrity of our Public Schools by ensuring that they are well equipped to overcome the hurdles presented by the Ongoing Health crisis. We owe this to students, we owe this to families, we owe this to San Francisco. Im working with legislators across the state to introduce similar resolutions across california, and hopefully, across the state, together, we request have an impact and get our Public Schools back open, and the rest i submit. Clerk thank you, supervisor ronen. Supervisor safai . Supervisor safai submit. Clerk okay. Thank you. Supervisor stefani . Supervisor stefani submit. Clerk okay. Thank you. Submit . Supervisor walton . Supervisor walton thank you so much, madam clerk. First, i want to offer my condolences to tui and her family, as well, and also to sonny, who i know is hurting deeply alone with the family. I do have two in memoriams today. The first is for martin roberto escobar, also known as cito. He was born in San Francisco on february 26, 1990. He enjoyed family, sports, and collecting comic books. He had a great love of music and was a big sports unanimous. He worked as a laborer in construction. The love of his life was his eightyearold daughter, scarlett. She was daddys little girl. Martin had a beautiful smile and a heart of gold. Sadly, he unexpectedly passed away on november 15, 2020. Cito will be missed by many. He was survived by his parents, martin and susanna escobar, beautiful daughter scarlett, maxine escobar, grandmother, yolanda avalos, many aunties, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I also offer an in memoriam for lamar Walter Williams. Lamar Walter Williams was born in San Francisco on september 1, 1982 to the proud parents of Francis Guidry and Walter Guidry williams. Lamar was raised in San Franciscos Western Addition neighborhood by his grandparents. Lamar was proudly known as chichi ali by his family members and a whole host of friends. He attended Benjamin Franklin for middle school, and graduated from Washington High School in 2001. Lamar was a stellar athlete. It was during lamars middle school years that his love for football began as he played for San Francisco seahawks. While attending washington high, williams held the position of running back for washingtons aeg will as player number 8. Lamars High School Football career was outstanding, going undefeated the entire four years, which included two years of undefeated j. C. Football in addition to two turkey day championships. Lamar went by the name cyberchi in high school, based on the ability lack of ability of his opponents to stop him. Lamar had a desire to be of service to others, and some even call it a calling upon his life. As a result, lamar decided to take on football from a different vantage point, this time, as a coach. Lamar landed his first coaching position as a coach for the seahawks, which was the very team that hed begun his football career with. Life had come full circle for lamar. He was now in a position where he could inspire and motivate younger generations. Lamar coached at several schools in San Francisco, including mission, galileo, and rutten high schools. Lamar took great pride in coaching. When it came to his career, lamar was the embodiment of what hard work and dedication looked like. He also served as a father figure to many of his players and young men in his greater community. He was lovingly referred to as coach chi by his players. Lamars ultimate dream was to be a College Football player. He also works at the grassroots levels for San Franciscos Crisis Response unit as well as San FranciscoUnified School District for a school aide. All of his positions were taken with the mind thought of being of service to others. Lamar was truly a selfless person. He welcomed his first two children in his early 20s. Lamar then went onto meet the love of his life and future wife, tanisha gibson. Together, they welcomed their daughter, leila, in 2012. The same level of dedication that lamar exemplified in his career is what he displayed when it came to fatherhood and being a husband. Lamar was known as a walking encyclopedia. He loved learning throughout his life. He maintained relationships with almost all of the people he grew up with in San Franciscos fillmore, more commonly and referred to by lamar and others alike as fillmo. The way he lived his life was one with a continual message of hope. He accomplished so many great things during his time on earth. Life for lamar was a christmas fair, as thats how he chose to live his life. He woke up each morning and ran the day, as he never let the day run him. He was a fighter, he was a conqueror, lamar was a sweet miracle. Lamar cherished his loving wife, daughters and sons, brothers, and is preceded in death by his older grandmother, his grandmother. Lamar further leaves behind his endearing cousins, uncles, aunts, and a host of other families. The rest i submit. Clerk thank you, supervisor walton. I know that supervisor preston asked to be rerefered after the in memoriam for mr. Williams, and mr. President , supervisor peskin also asked to be rerefered after supervisor preston, if thats okay with you. President yee yeah, absolutely. Supervisor preston . Supervisor preston thank you, president yee and madam clerk. I want to thank supervisor walton for his beautiful words honoring lamar chichi williams, and we are all deeply heartbroken by the passing of mr. Williams. We heard from so many people in the community in our office who reached out upon learning of lamars passing to share stories, to share memories. There was a Community Gathering in the fillmore, a powerful vigil after the Community Learned of his passing, and theres a heartfelt for him over in Fillmore Park to remember his legacy. So i just want to add to supervisor waltons words and extend my condolences to lamars family, including his wife and children and his friends. Rest in peace, mr. Williams. Thank you. President yee okay. Supervisor peskin . Supervisor peskin thank you, president yee, and let me affix my name and my condolences to lamars passing, and i i spoke briefly earlier, for tui would have wanted me to speak briefly, but i wanted to speak more extensively on the life of an extraordinary woman, a woman whose impact on the city really cannot be put into words. Tui Annemarie Nguyen passed away just after thanksgiving at ucsf, attended by my chief of staff, sonny angulo, and hats off to all of the staff who, from that hospital, cared for tui, and to her husband, sean, and to his mother and to her community. Tui was born in the southern part of our state, in newport beach, and raised in a tight knit community of costa mesa, or as we call it, costa misery. She worked hard and brought lessons for our communities. She always knew she wanted to work with kids and moved to the city after being accepted by u. S. F. In the masters program, and started a little venture where she wore multiple hats as a social worker and organizer and a tutor and a therapist and a life coach and advocated for girls. And she knew them from their earliest days through fourth grade. And even after they left, she stayed connected with these girls and made sure they had a cheerleader in their corner for years to come. So many have told me about this, and they come from all walks of life. At the same time, tui and sean founded the skate club, and they really grew the development and program that made kids thrive. And during the holidays, tui decorated every stocking for every kid who came through, and the skate club is really part of this history, and tui is part of this history, and id say a lot, lot, lot more, but tui, youre a buddha, and to the 1,000 families that you served, thank you, and may your memory be a blessing. The rest i will submit. Clerk thank you, supervisor peskin. Mr. President . President yee yeah, id like to maybe have the in memoriam coming from the whole board for tui. I also know many of our Staff Members also knew her and respected her, so i think it would mean a lot for her family and not only us as supervisors but our staff, so so well close this meeting in her name from the whole board. Supervisor peskin thank you, mr. President. She was really a piece of light and beloved by so many people, and were all diminished by her passing. President yee supervisor ronen, is it okay if i be added to your reso . Supervisor ronen of course. Thank you so much. Oh, and i forget to mention that supervisor haney is cosponsoring, as well. Thank you so much, supervisor haney. President yee okay, great. You should get all the School Board Members former School Board Members to cosponsor. Supervisor ronen i probably will come around. President yee okay. I know you guys already heard this. Theres going to be a lot of overlap, because as i was saying, im trying to twist as much board as i can with Early Education stuff. Here we go. I mentioned before that i was going to introduce it, and now im going to really introduce it. This is the Early Childhood recovery act that were going to reform. So im introducing this plan to provide relief to child Care Education providers hardest hit by the pandemic. Early care and education providers can range from small family based child care homes to large centers. Across the board, we are hearing stories about how many are really on the brink of collapse. In fact, pat sullivan, whos the head of the San FranciscoFamily Child Care association, thinks that its almost close to 100 family licensed child care providers that closed down since the pandemic. So the Health Orders have severely restricted the number of children that can be served in limited space. Several factors are causing child care businesses to shutdown, and many more are on the verge of closing. These factors are including needing more space because of social distancing, increasing staff to serve the same number of children prepandemic, but having to adjust to cohort sizes because of Health Orders. No real ability to raise rates when families are struggling, and no control over capital casts or rents. And also, parents are choosing not to bring back their children to the programs, and many Staff Members are in that vulnerable age category, which makes them a little bit worried about actually going to workday to day. Child care centers face the choice of hiring more staff to serve the same number of children or serving fewer children. Theres already a child care shortage in San Francisco, and if these private providers close, it would soon worsen the crisis that we are already in. The San FranciscoEconomic Recovery Task force report recognized that the city cannot have a quick recovery economic recovery without a robust child care system in place. So we have a onetime opportunity to allocate funding to help not only save our child care system from collapsing but to also strengthen. San franciscans passed prop c earlier this month to unlock nearly 500 million of baby prop c dollars im sorry. That was San Francisco passed prop f earlier this month, and the reality is the entire system is bleeding out, and we need to keep providers afloat in order for these dollars to be most effective. With the office of early care and education, the office of early care and education will provide grants and zero interest loans for child care Providers Service zero to six years of age that are eligible, and those that are eligible would include all family licensed child care providers in San Francisco that serve at least four children at any given time prepandemic, all nonprofit child Care Organizations serving children zero to six years of age, all forprofit licensed Child Care Centers that were based in San Francisco that have no more than two sites in in the city. And the reason for that one is to prevent the National Chains from actually taking advantage of our local resources. All parent coops that serve at least six children with children zero to six. So what were trying to do with this is not just provide resources for those that are already within our system that serve lowincome families, but but all of our centers that are licensed, whether its Family Child Care or center based, because we know that if we start losing any of this, whether theyre nonprofit, forprofit, small, large, that it weakens our system. So the funding will come from the release of baby prop c dollars that the board will be deliberating on the on in the coming weeks. Were hoping that it will contribute 20 million in grants and loans. I want to thank mayor breed, supervisor ronen, supervisor mar, and i think supervisor safai for the early cosponsorship, and im sure many of you have been receiving emails from providers in your district about how much this help is needed. Once the doors closed to these child care programs, theres no theres really little hope to regain them, so we need to do whatever we can now. I hope i can count on this board and cosponsorship. The rest i submit. Clerk thank you, mr. President. Supervisor fewer . Supervisor fewer yes, thank you very much, madam clerk. Id l
