[applause] now it is my pleasure to wem come to the pedium San Francisco mayor, ed lee. [applause] gladiators alright thank you very much for inviting me to join your administration here and students. How is everybody today . Welcome back student school. Little late but bebeening of school time and didnt think you know you would have friends from San Francisco visiting here. Glad to be here and School Board Members to join. Elected officials to joun your elected officials. When i see and look around and see the people i can stand with, wow, it is amazing. You know that congresswoman barbara lee . She is my sister she my sister we belong to the same family association. Thats right. All of us in elected office generally speaking i think there are moments in our time when we are struggling with a lot of decisions we have to make, but those moments where collaboration of many groups of people whether they are resident, parents, School Board Members, principles, teachers, advocates and kids, we all come together and make a decision together about what is good and when we make a decision that involves our business community, those are great moments. And today, is one of those great moments because we get to share with you something that we have been doing in the city of San Francisco about 3 years. We got to workfirst of all, if you know one of our companies in San Francisco called sales force one of the most Successful Technology comps companies in the city and whole region. Yes, world wide. They do something in the clouds. About 4 years ago, mark [inaudible] sat down with me and asked me a question that i will never ever forget. You ever have those times where people ask a question and say i didnt know they cared that much. He asked me what do i really want to do, not what im obligated to do and having to do every day. Fill pot holes and headache sure people are safe and make sure people get jobs and housing. What do you really want to do. In that couple hours conversation in his house and joined by lynn [inaudible] because she is a big heart in San Francisco. Thank you lynn. He asks me what do you really want to do and i got me to thinking, i got a good education growing up and people helped me along to get me a very good Solid Foundation in education, i think that when youth and families succeed in our cities, our cities succeed. Talking about both oakland and San Francisco. We began on the path of what really was important to me and i think the best education publicly that we can provide for our kids and familys is the think thing i want to get and really most important. In that conversation, we identified and got in with School Board Member hide rumendoza and others to talk. Hid ruis here and is my liaiz on through the school. Board. Richard [inaudible] our super intendant who is wide open with ideas how to help our schools and look at data and said, schools like yours today right here, frick impact academy, middle schools is where we were most challenged so we began the middle School Initiative and had the conversation and made investment, 4th year, 3 years later we got millions of dollars invested but much morethen am money is the collaboration with the principles because i want them to not have to reach into their own pockets. Three years ago no middle school in San Francisco was wifi. Can you believe that . We had to correct that. We had to get tablets and training stof the teachers and had to do it in a way where the teachers said, mayor lee recollect what are you doing . You are not trying to take over the schools are you . No, im trying to help the kids and families in our schools and the only way i can see forward in how to do it in the claberate thing is to say, what would bring each teacher and principle back to their very first year they decided to go into Public Education. Because there are other reasons not to and sometimes those reasons pop up every day. Too challenging and people not paying attention and the state and cutting luft and right. If we listen to every principle and all the teachers in the middle school tell us what they needed to be successful help the kids advance and list toon the super intentdant what the data is telling us. Math and science. By the way, the jobs just a few years athround corner, depend you have a better Stem Education. Science, technology, engineering, math. So, all of that catalyst comes and 4 years later our 8 graders are performing the bestz and the urban School District is the best. Our middle grade teachers and principles are at the top of the their feeling and they feel it. They feel it. [applause]. This is something we got to share with oakland. Because if oakland succeeds San Francisco succeeds tooment it happens both ways. We are not a island in the city, we are a regional partnership. Barbara knows thatd, congresswoman lee knows that. We as elected officials know that. This investment is more than the money, it is about believing in our kids and as i share with your mayor, because what Companies Like sales force want to really do is be more than just a successful company, they want to be partners with government. Partners with parents. Partners with other companies. Partners with the School District because we want to not find our talent, we want to grow our talent. And your growing as a talent well recruit from each and all of you, you will be talent im looking for. We are look frg a police chief, a fire chief, a Department Head or ceo, or any of the great jobs that you can think of, youre the talent pool we want to invest in and youre our investment. I want to say that is how we approached this middle Grades Initiative that now today we get to wonderfully share with the city of oakland and want to take the opportunity to introduce you to your own mayor, someone who is tremendous colleague of mine and inspired me in San Francisco to do better and that is of course, mayor libby schaaf. [applause] oh, wow now, i am so proud to be the mayor of my home town, Oakland California and in honor of sales force, we did something in oakland we dont usually do, we ordered clouds. Get it . Cloud computing. Joke. [laughter] mayor lee brought his weather with him from San Francisco. Seriously, im so excited to be the mayor of your city, of your city. Frick students. Let me talk in very clear specifics about what is happening today because i want you all to remember this day. Sales force is supporting the San FranciscoPublic Schools for 3 years now. This is their 4th year. But this is the first year, the first year they have brought that support to oakland as well. [applause] when i say support, do you all like money over here, young people . [cheers] when i say support, im talking about 2 and 2 and a half million 2 and 2 and a half million. [applause] and i just want to recognize that is on top of some personal support that mark and lynn have been generously giving to this community and particularly its children. I want to recognize the head of our incredible ucsf Childrens Hospital in oakland burt lubeen is in the house and also the generous gift to the brilliant baby strategy of the oakland [inaudible] i will talk about in a second. What has the 2. 5 million done it allowed us to reach 4 times as many Public School student with Computer Science instruction. It is allowing us to bring this very Innovative Program called, blue print that will be give Small Group Instruction to bust out your math skills. Anyone have mad love for math over here . [applause] i love people that have smart at math. It will also give mrs. Ruby who i heard made a big impression at marks house when you came, it kill give her a innovation fund. Because she is innovative and we trust her to just do great things with it. I want to be clear, this level of support is not just for frick, it is also going to benefit brett heart middle school, life academy and colosseum College Prep Academy in oakland. [applause] the last thing that this investment is doing is opening our first oakland Promise Middle School fuch were centers. [applause] i have here two of our fabulous ambassadors for the oakland promise, valen tina and Cynthia Adams from naacp. The oakland promisei want you to know about this because you are the first been fish areas of this. We know this will triple the number of oakland student who graduate from college prepared for the career of your dream jz dont do this like other programs programs like a college scholarship. We create a College Bound culture from the moment you are born. From had moment you start kindergarten. We will give College Savings accounts at the earliest years but we need to touch young people at critical moment of lives to tell them we expect you to finish high school and to finish college. We are here to put our money where our mouths are and say, we will provide you with the resources to do that, with the skills to do that. Your whole community is behind your achievement here in oakland. [applause] so i want you to know this man right here, he created a Great Company but he knew it was important to give back and so because of his sales force, not only are we quadrooping the number of students getting Computer Science instruction we up the mact sfruckz and opening our first fuper centers in the middle school frz oakland promise. These are career and college hubs where student get to tour colleges and find out about thaur options. Why you need to stay and do well in school because of the fantastic future that is in front of you. Alright. Now, i also just want to recognize that this is part of a new regionalism movement. Now, i want you to remember this day not because of 2. 5 million, you need to also remember it because more valuable than the 2. 5 million hch what is more valable than money . Love is more valuable than money and more valuable than 2. 5 million is sales force employ ease will give you 20 thousand hours of volunteer time. [applause] nothing is more valuable than that. I want to give a quick shout to the Oakland PoliceDepartment Mentors who are meantering in this school. That is love. I want to give a shout out to one of your most distinshuished alumni, a tony, tony, tony fan, mr. Dewayne wigans the house and graduate of frick. If there is one thing to remember we can accomplish great things when we Work Together so you heard mayor ed lee talk about how well we work toorkt, this is regionalism. Sale force recognizes we cant just help oakland. This is a incredible region you live in. There are the amazing Career Opportunity in the world right here.

Mark learned quickly this wasnt enough to just start a foundation. He inventioned something much bigger which you heard about today, but it is a company where giving back wasnt a afterthought, but it is a port of the Overall Mission and principles. When mark founded sales force, he created and [inaudible] told me about this it was a one, one, one, model. That means, committing one percent of equity, one percent of employee time, and one percent of product. To sever you and the community and that was visionary and far reaching and want other companies to do the same thing. Mark, give mark a round of applause because he is a visionary and trend setter and we know because we work with him and other companies and know how advanced mark is making sure all of you have access to equity and to employee time and to the product.
