So ladies and gentlemen, that where i go avenue scrip principle hobson has recognized our partners youve seen the staff and faculty the faculty and staff willie l. Brown middle school we are count on you to crush it this year and future years when we said we were going to build this and have a stem school it is focused on a graduate profile the community has defined what is the graduate we want to produce and tracer the characterizations and if you think about everything that principle hobson to talked about it is landing aligned to our vision 2025 i will be very boost full unapologizely this is the finest middle school Stem Middle School in the nation right here in San Francisco it is clapping. and for me, i think what is more important ladies and gentlemen, is that in San Francisco in San Franciscos Public Schools were absolutely not interested in School Improvement and were not interested in School District improvements were not interested in that ill tell you and propose to you if you look at every indicator School Systems are working exactly the way theyre designed to work their sorting kids and certain kids get opportunity and some dont and students have pathway to high paying jobs and sustainable liveable jobs were not interested in proving that system but system change and changing that system clapping. and one of the questions were always asked it is beautiful rhetoric mr. Superintendent that sounds really good but where the rubber meets the road ladies and gentlemen, look around this is where the rubber meets the road this is going to be the school it puts into effect how graduate appraisal for the 2 hundred and 16 students for the freshmen class for the pathway to be successful students in life, career and in the future and theyre going to do that here at the willie l. Brown middle school so were interested this is our down up to that time to the city, to the bayview and country to educate our students particularly students not been served well by the system we call Public Education it changes here and it changes today clapping. so all i have to say were counting on all of us to crush it not only this year but in the future years in my final comments one of the questions we were ask the posed to the question about the willie l. Brown middle school if you build it will they come in our system where parents have full choice where necessary send their children to school it is a valid question when we opened the doors to our 2 hundred and 16 students on monday be understood there is over a hundred students on a waiting list who choose to come to willie l. Brown middle school and there wasnt room yet so do people want to come absolutely they want to come who you look at the classrooms of willie l.
