A
Nine

I'd
asked
folks
in
the
chamber
to
silence
their
electronic
devices.
We
will
take
public
testimony
at
various
points.
Throughout
the

A
Yes,

we
strongly
encourage
residents,

By
giving
testimony

A
We
are
here
with
our
friends
from
Boston
Public
School
Department
to
discuss
operations
of
transportation,
food
nutrition,
sir
nutrition
services
and
safety
services,
as
they
pertain
to
dock
at
zero
6
to

through

to
5
orders
for
the
FY
breeding
budget,
including
annual
appropriations
for
departmental
operations,
annual
appropriation
for
the
school
department,
appropriation
for
other
post-employment
benefits
and
appropriation

as

including

A
A
A
B
B
It
gives
me
great
pride
to
be
able
to
turn
the
microphone
over
to
them
today
to
present
to
you
on
their
very,
very
important
departments.
That
said,
as
you
know,
operations
consists
of
other
areas
as
well,
and
so
what
you
will
not
be
hearing
from
today,
our
facilities,
management
facilities,
planning
and
engineering,
the
office
of
instructional
information
technology
and
our
general
operations
department,
which
consists
of
operational
superintendents
operational
leaders,
I.
B
Think
it's
important
that,
although
this
is
a
budget
hearing-
and
we
often
talk
about
numbers
on
a
page,
a
budget
hearing,
it's
important
that
you
also
realize
that
there
are
more
than
two
thousand
people
across
bps
operations,
the
vast
majority
of
whom
work
on
the
roads
or
in
our
schools,
very
few
of
which
work
in
central
office
positions
and
those
people
are
the
custodians
who
show
up,
in
five
degree,
weather
and
a
foot
of
snow
to
clear
their
schools
for
children.
They're.
B
The
food
service
workers
who
show
up
at
6:00
in
the
morning
to
get
breakfast
ready,
they're
the
safety
service
officers,
who
have
the
enormous
pressure
on
their
shoulders
to
keep
our
children
safe.
They
are
the
bus
drivers
who
take
our
kids
to
and
from
school
as
if
they
were
their
own
children.
They
are
the
IT
workers
who
quietly
work
behind
the
scenes
to
make
sure
our
technology
is
running
smoothly
across
the
district.
B
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
the
three
departments
here
but
you'll
be
hearing
from
today
have
all
presented
to
City
Council
this
this
current
school
year
and
in
fact,
transportation
safety
services
have
led
three
different
presentations
to
City
Council
over
the
last
six
weeks.
So
because
of
that,
you
may
see
some
content
that
you've
seen
in
recent
weeks
because
of
that
you'll
see
a
brief
presentation.
But
we
welcome
your
questions
after
that.
Thank
you
again
very
much.
Thank
you.
C
Good
morning,
good
morning,
councillors
I
would
like
to
start
off
by
saying
it's
truly
an
honor
and
humbling
experience
to
represent,
who
I
perceived
to
be
some
of
the
hardest-working
employees
across
the
district.
The
transportation
team
I'm
also
honored
to
be
sitting
next
to
two
department
heads
in
operation,
Laura
and
Kim.
I
would
like
to
start
off
this
morning.
By
sharing
some
highlights.
Some
transportation
highlights
the
transportation
team
continued
to
innovate
in
transportation,
for
example,
continuing
the
work
with
MIT
we're
also
working
with
Virginia
Tech
to
study
our
road
speeds
to
improve
our
Maps.
C
We've
worked
and
extremely
hard
to
improve
our
on-time
performance,
which
we
have
done
this
school
year.
We've
worked
collaboratively
across
departments
within
bps,
our
special
ed
team
and
our
IT
team,
we're
later
on
in
our
presentation,
you'll
see
in
the
budget
where
we've
a
comprar
ducted
some
decreases
across
in
the
budget
for
next
school
year.
Sorry,
the
Department
of
Transportation
mission
is
to
provide
safe
and
timely
transportation
services
to
students
of
Boston
schools.
Our
team
worked
tirelessly
day
in
and
day
out
to
accomplish
this
goal.
C
We
are
obligated
to
transport
not
only
bps
students,
but
our
charter,
private,
parochial
and
private
placement
students
to
put
that
into
perspective,
to
provide
transportation
to
provide
transportation
to
non
bps.
Students
accounts
for
21%
of
our
total
spending.
We
do
this
within
the
confines
of
DPS
policies
that
dictate
school
choice,
but
also
state
and
federal
regulations,
all
of
which
increase
the
complexity
of
what
we
do.
C
Through
our
continued
efforts
in
transportation,
we
have
been
able
to
slow
the
growth
of
our
spending
each
and
every
year.
This
is
a
huge
accomplishment
which
leads
us
to
project
spending
to
be
one
hundred
and
twenty
five
point:
six
million
dollars
next
year,
which
is
essentially
flat
with
our
current
projection.
C
On
this
slide,
here
we
have
a
breakdown
of
our
spending.
Again,
we
are
expecting
our
overall
spending
to
be
flat
with
movement
within
different
cost
categories.
We
have
seen
major
cost
growth
in
special
education,
related
expenses,
such
as
door-to-door
students
and
students
who
require
monitors,
especially
related,
monitor,
educate,
sorry,
sorry,
we
have
seen
major
cost
growth
in
special
education.
Related
expenses,
such
as
door-to-door
students
and
students
who
require
monitors,
especially
those
requiring
one-to-one
monitors
increases
in
the
number
of
students
in
transition,
has
also
been
a
major
cost
driver.
C
In
the
last
few
years,
in
our
fiscal
year,
20
budget,
we
are
taking
necessary
steps
to
curb
the
cost
road
we've
seen.
We
will
continue
our
route
optimization
work
to
make
sure
our
system
is
efficient,
planning
on
fewer
door-to-door
students
and
optimize
the
packages
of
our
bus
MA
monitors
who
are
servicing
our
students
most
in
need.
We
are
also
we
are
also
to
make
an
investment
in
m7
passes
for
all
students
in
grade
7
through
12.
C
You
might
also
notice
the
slight
increase
when
comparing
actuals
to
budget
within
our
central
office
personnel.
We
do
not
plan
to
change
our
current
staffing
levels.
Salaries
are
budgeted
based
on
average
salaries.
At
the
district
level.
We
have
been
faced
with
some
turnover.
The
last
few
years
resulted
in
vacant
positions.
C
We
are
proud,
I'm
excited
that
we
will
be
able
to
continue
to
replace
our
diesel
buses
with
propane
powered
buses
by
next
year.
Fifty
percent
of
our
entire
fleet
will
run
on
alternate
fluid
fuel.
Not
only
is
this
better
for
the
environment,
but
better
for
our
students
with
asthma.
I
would
also
like
to
highlight
when
compared
to
our
peers,
nationally
nationally
over
90%
of
the
four
hundred
and
eighty
four
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
school
buses
still
use
diesel.
C
Starting
next
school
year,
every
student
in
seventh,
through
twelfth
grade
who
lives
and
attend
schools
in
the
city
of
Boston,
will
receive
an
m7
pass.
This
will
give
them
the
opportunity
to
not
only
explore
the
city
and
all
its
this
will.
This
will
give
them
the
opportunity
to
explore
the
city
and
all
it
has
to
offer.
C
C
The
transportation
team
is
is
continuously
working
on
a
number
of
initiatives
to
drive
costs
down,
while
improving
services
for
parents
and
families.
We've
reorganized
our
monitor
unit
in
order
to
provide
better
service
for
our
students
with
special
needs.
We
are
working
in
close
collaboration
with
other
bps
department,
as
well
as
our
contract,
as
well
as
our
contractor
Transdev.
D
You
down
good
morning
and
thank
you
counselors
for
the
opportunity
to
provide
updates
on
the
Food
and
Nutrition
Services
Department.
Thank
you.
John
for
the
introduction.
I'm
also
proud
to
be
sitting
here
with
the
strong
women
of
operations
and
I'm,
also
a
proud
parent
of
a
bps
student
who
doesn't
have
a
problem
on
a
daily
basis
to
tell
me
what
she
thinks
of
the
school
meal
program
and
she,
and,
along
with
the
other
55,000
students,
are
my
guide
and
how
we
were
able
to
drive
the
program
in
in
food
and
nutrition
services.
D
Our
budget
is
built
by
every
meal
we
serve
and
every
meal
is
important
as
it
is
reimbursed
by
USDA.
Our
mission
is
to
provide
safe,
wholesome
and
nutritious
meals
to
help
students
achieve
academic
excellence,
and
this
help
our
drives
our
goals
to
improve
our
culture,
by
increasing
participation,
decreasing
waste
and
maintain
fiscal
stability.
Our
budget
is
mainly
driven
by
two
major
costs
for
food
and
labor,
which,
for
my
20,
it
represents
forty
seven
and
forty
five
percent
of
our
cost
respectively
are
their
expenses
include.
D
Excuse
me
include
costs
for
paper,
equipment,
maintenance
and
repair
of
equipment.
We
build
the
budget
to
cover
all
of
our
costs
and
we
analyze
participation
rates,
models
of
operation
and
school
type
to
ensure
we
are
creating
efficient
operations.
We
also
focus
on
menu
planning
and
cost
efficient
purchasing
to
ensure
we
are
able
to
purchase
products
that
meet
our
standards,
but
also
minimize
the
impact
to
our
budget.
D
This
slide
highlights
our
budget
from
the
last
three
years
for
in
our
projection
for
the
end
of
the
1819
school
year.
We
are
projecting
a
deficit
in
this
year
by
2.3
million
dollars.
The
majority
of
the
deficit
is
due
to
a
decline
in
participation,
specifically
planned
participation
in
breakfast
after
the
bell
programs,
we
also
further
analyze
our
participation
data
and
also
noted
that
one
third
of
the
decline
in
participation
was
due
to
decline
in
enrollment.
As
we
become
aware,
as
we
became
aware,
our
participation
was
dropping.
D
We
moved
too
into
processes
to
recover
as
much
of
the
deficit
as
possible.
Some
of
the
processes
included
menu,
changes
to
include
student
favorites
inventory
controls
both
at
school
sites
and
our
distribution
center
managing
waste
in
satellite
schools
and
reviewing
orders
from
schools.
This
resulted
in
a
decrease
in
food
cost
expenses
by
2.9
million
dollars.
D
We
currently
provide
three
service
models
that
make
up
the
meals
we
serve
to
students,
breakfast
lunch
and
after-school
meals
that
are
either
suppers
or
snacks.
We
are
scheduled
to
serve
almost
11
million
meals
this
school
year.
This
data
shows
that
within
the
last
few
years,
we
have
seen
steady
declines
in
participation,
but
this
year
we've
seen
the
participation
remain
even
with
even
slight
increases
in
lunch.
However,
the
increases
are
so
loud
as
sufficient
enough
to
cover
the
cost
of
our
operation.
D
We
had
projected
more
and
we
continue
to
focus
on
student
feedback,
to
adjust
our
menus
and
operations
to
meet
their
needs
and
expectations.
We
know
there's
still
more
work
to
be
done
and
continue
to
use
data
to
improve,
and
it's
the
experience
for
students
as
we
continue
to
focus
on
transforming
food
services
and
improve
the
experience
for
students.
I
want
to
make
sure
we
touch
on
one
of
the
big
projects
we
had
with
this
year,
which
was
the
rollout
of
the
my
weight
cafe.
D
As
of
today,
we've
launched
29
schools,
including
the
four
original
pilot
sites,
and
the
cafes
were
launched
in
the
East
Boston
Mattapan
and
Roxbury
neighborhoods.
Through
this
process,
we've
been
able
to
create
over
60
new
positions
in
our
schools.
The
menus
are
able
to
change
daily
and
include
what
we,
what
we
think
is
most
important
as
choices
for
students,
the
students
smell
and
seafood
cooking
in
their
schools
and
the
cafeterias
are
focused
on
student
engagement
and
delivery
with
a
smile
and
we've
been
able
to
create
a
dining
experience
for
our
students
and
principals.
D
E
Thank
You
Laura
good
morning
councillors,
thanks
again
for
having
us
quick,
shout
out
to
Lauren
Dell.
It's
always
a
pleasure
to
be
with
them
and
for
all
of
John
Hanlin
support
through
this
process.
I
also
wanted
to
quickly
introduce
a
couple
of
familiar
faces
from
safety
services.
We
have
Richter
Rainey
in
the
audience.
The
director
of
fire
and
emergency
response.
Chief
Eric
Wesson
of
the
Boston
School
police
and
Nick
sac
Ramona,
has
joined
us
from
facilities
that
we
work
hand
in
hand.
Nick
helps
us
in
every
facility
around
cameras
and
school
access.
E
We
greatly
appreciate
his
partnership
and
the
facilities
Department
every
day,
so
we
presented
in
March
of
a
trimmed-down
version
for
you
and
a
quick
snapshot
of
the
sy
1920
budget.
So
as
a
reminder
and
I
always
like
to
start
to
point
out
and
reiterate
the
mission,
the
mission
of
the
department
of
safety
services
is
to
provide
and
maintain
a
safe
learning
environment
for
all
students,
staff
and
guests
through
daily
communication
collaboration
with
school
leaders,
families
and
partners.
E
Our
priorities
for
next
year
controlled
school
access-
this
is
an
important
theme
has
been
this
year
will
continue
to
be
next
year.
We
are
strong
focus
on
supporting
schools
with
fully
implementing
the
superintendent
circular
SAF
12,
which
was
updated
approximately
a
year
ago,
and
this
is
really
empowering
schools
to
prioritize
how
they
allow
people
in
their
schools
to
mitigate
incidents
across
the
board.
This
also
gets
reiterated
in
some
of
our
professional
development
presentations
that
we
do
in
collaboration
with
the
Boston
Police
Department,
including
active
shooter
presentations,.
E
E
The
upgrades
to
buildings
continue.
You've
probably
heard
a
little
bit
about
this
into
the
facilities
Department.
This
is
the
authorization
of
five
million
dollars
that
was
authorized
by
the
mayor
last
year
with
the
primary
project
of
putting
new
locks
on
all
classroom
doors
across
the
district.
So,
as
we
participate
in
our
internal
audits
with
schools,
we
will
monitor
that
project
as
well
and
make
sure
they
were
making
recommendations
along
with
classroom
and
school
locks.
E
E
That
goal
monitoring
the
upgrades
our
Boston
school
police
were
happy
to
talk
about
the
fact
that
we're
looking
to
update
and
are
in
the
process
of
updating,
trainings
and
training
and
operational
manual
and
pursuing
a
strategic
reassignment
and
deployment
plan
to
enhance
our
capacity
and
support,
proactive
school
site
visits
across
the
district
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
particularly
looking
at
our
superior
officers
and
their
capacity
be
mobile.
Throughout
the
district.
We
were
able,
during
this
school
year
to
bring
on
a
new
deputy
chief,
and
that
position
was
specifically
dying.
E
Just
specifically
designed
pardon
me
to
be
70
percent
mobile
to
look
at
how
we're
how
we're
proactively
arriving
at
schools
and
offering
support
throughout
those
schools
so
you're,
either
assigned
to
a
school
you're,
doing
a
proactive
school
site
or
you're
responding
to
something
and
we're
looking
forward
to
tracking
that
as
we
move
into
the
next
school
year,
an
ongoing
communication.
This
is
a
daily
thing
at
bps.
E
Contacting
school
leaders
making
sure
that
they're
initiating
calls
to
safety
in
a
timely
fashion
and
including
the
full
operation
teams,
including
operational
superintendents
and
leaders,
is
a
daily
exercise
for
us
and
safety
services
supports
that
primarily
myself,
chief
Weston
and
director
de
Rainey.
In
addition
to
that,
though,
we've
heard
from
several
school
leaders
that
bps
doesn't
always
communicate
as
efficiently
as
they
would
like.
They're
asked
to
go
to
several
different
places
for
information.
E
So
what
we'd
like
to
try
to
do
and
I'm
working
on
this
with
our
oh
I,
TT,
o
IT
department
with
John's
support,
is
how
can
we
get
out
our
primary
most
important
highlights
and
safety
messages
throughout
the
year
as
an
example,
when
your
safety
drills
are
due
sending
flags
to
school
leaders
in
their
email,
so
they
don't
have
to
go
to
a
school
messenger.
They
don't
have
to
go
to
a
website.
They
don't
have
to
go
to
a
porthole.
E
These
are
the
five
things
that
Kim
and
her
department
really
want
emphasized
this
year
and
they're
gonna
pop
up
on
my
screen.
So
in
my
initial
conversations
with
OIT,
this
doesn't
seem
that
complicated,
so
we're
looking
forward
to,
hopefully
remedying
some
of
that
for
school
leaders
and
simplifying
their
days.
E
In
addition
to
that
communication
with
school
leaders,
EPS
is
still
using
this
vital
crisis
go
app
for
day-to-day
communication
among
central
office.
We
have
also
explored
this
year
and
are
in
the
last
stages
of
asking
school
leaders
that
participated
in
a
pilot
program
in
eight
separate
buildings
to
complete
a
survey.
E
So
the
crisis
go
app
that
we
employ
with
the
district
also
has
a
building
specific
capacity,
so
they've
used
it
and
when,
when
he
initially
looked
at
crisis,
go
as
a
district,
it
was
most
important
for
a
school
staff
and
leaders
to
be
able
to
talk
to
each
other
within
their
school
through
some
sort
of
app.
Why
we
encourage
layers
of
communication?
We
also
want
to
be
using
the
app
that
we're
paying
for
every
year
to
the
best
of
its
ability.
E
So
our
strategic
partnerships,
Sandy
Hook,
promise
I'm
going
to
highlight
to
say
something
anonymous
reported
system,
so
we
have
worked
with
BPD
intensively
as
well
as
EMS
to
ensure
that
we
can
move
forward
with
this
launch
in
the
next
school
year.
This
is
a
pretty
intensive
training
reporting
app
in
the
sense
that
we
have
several
different
parties
to
train
so
to
say
something
anomalous
reporting
system
I'll
remind
folks
is
a
website.
It's
a
smartphone
app
and
it's
a
phone
number.
It's
part
of
the
knowing
the
science
program
through
our
partnership
with
Sandy
Hook
promise.
E
We
are
hosting
eight
pilot
schools
next
year
and
why
we
completed
some
of
that
training
this
school
year.
We
will
move
to
schedule
the
dispatch
and
EMS
first
responders
through
BPD
over
the
next
three
months,
along
with
scheduling,
school
communities
and
the
students
and
staff
of
those
school
communities
when
those
trainings
are
complete,
which
will
be
which
are
slated
to
be
early
fall,
then
we'll
be
able
to
launch
the
app.
So
we
have
to
be
very
deliberate
and
Sandy.
E
Hook
promise
has
been
a
very
big
support
in
this
and
making
sure
that
all
parties
are
trained
properly
on
board
because
as
soon
as
we
chain,
the
young
people
and
the
staff
that
app
will
go
live
which
will
allow
us
to
receive
those
anonymous
tips
and
act
on
them.
And
so
we're
looking
forward
to
creating
that
additional
pathway
for
students
and
staff
to
be
able
to
voice
concerns
in
a
prevent,
with
a
preventive
intervention.
Focus.
E
Boston
Center
for
youth
and
families.
This
is
an
exciting
partnership.
I've
worked
them
for
years
of
my
career
in
Boston,
we
set
up
a
model
last
school
year
and
essentially
based
on
proactive
relationships,
building
with
students
as
fast
and
focused
on
prevention
and
intervention
in
specific
schools.
So
we
aligned
with
the
school
unit
of
BC
YF.
We
go
with
those
managers
to
meet
with
the
school
leaders
and
their
designated
safety
staff
or
support
services
staff,
usually
a
combination
thereof
in
their
school.
We
sit
down
and
say
this
is
what
BC
YF
has
to
offer.
E
What
is
fitting
for
your
jurisdiction
in
your
school,
for
instance?
Do
you
need
more
support
in
building
rapport
with
students
during
transition
in
your
building?
Do
you
need
more
support
during
lunch
periods?
Do
you
need
support
in
transition,
as
your
young
people
are
moving
from
JFK
to
the
high
school
in
Harran
in
that
model
is
a
proactive
nature
of
what
it
should
be.
E
So
we
want
BC
YF
partners,
along
with
school
staff,
not
only
creating
rapport
with
staff
but,
most
importantly,
creating
rapport
and
thus
creating
more
opportunities
and
pathways
for
young
people
around
resources
that
BC
YF
may
have
to
offer,
and
potentially
mitigating
violence
in
schools
and
in
the
community
at
the
same
time.
So
this
is
an
ongoing
partnership.
As
we
approach
spring,
we
reinvigorate
those
relationships.
E
We
continue
our
visits
and
I've
expanded
it
to
some
of
our
middle
schools
to
be
proactive
in
that
age
group,
giving
some
of
the
issues
that
we've
seen,
particularly
over
the
last
year,
Boston
Police
Department
commanders
sergeant,
detective
Thomas
Sexton,
who
was
at
our
last
hearing
and
his
officers.
I
can't
say
enough
about
them.
We
work
with
them
on
a
frequent
basis,
a
daily
basis.
They
are
housed
at
B
la
along
with
Chief
Weston
and
his
officers,
dispatch
and
behavioral
health.
E
They
are
now
falling
under
the
office
of
community
engagement,
Noora
Basten,
so
that's
an
exciting
change,
but
they
have
been
a
critical
partnership
and
clear
and
will
continue
to
be,
particularly
in
the
climate
that
we
see
with
so
many
people.
So
many
young
people
on
the
spectrum
of
threats
that
we
have
to
deal
with
on
a
daily
basis.
E
They
are
amazing
and
jumping
on
those
incidents
being
supportive,
helping
us
get
the
services
to
young
people
that
they
need
and
making
sure
that
our
school
communities
are
safe
and
partnership
with
Boston
school
police
and
the
staff
there
succeed,
Boston
and
the
in
the
in
the
Boston
Fire
Department.
So
this
is
a
program.
I
was
originally
set
up
by
Richter
Rainey
and
we
share
it
with
social,
emotional
learning
and
wellness
through
succeed.
E
Boston
there's
been
some
slight
changes
this
year
in
the
court
system,
so
there's
not
as
much
leverage
to
encourage
young
people
to
get
the
education
that
our
Ages
to
seven
to
twelve,
because
they
can't
be
mandated
to
go
to
court
anymore.
But
in
a
nutshell,
this
is
an
education
awareness
program.
So
if
young
people
across
the
city
display
fire
setting
behaviors
they're
referred
to
this
program
that
occurs
on
a
Saturday
and
if
they
in
it,
they
are
of
a
certain
age
over
twelve,
then
they're
deferred
from
the
court
system,
which
is
the
goal
right.
E
This
is
a
partnership
between
Jodie
Elliot,
succeed,
Boston
and
her
staff,
educators
and
clinicians,
and
the
Boston
Fire
Department
and
the
parents
and
the
family.
So
it's
been
very
successful
in
the
past
we
served
42
young
people
last
school
year.
We've
served
19
this
school
year
and
what
we're
looking
forward
to
do
is
working
with
our
operational
superintendents
around
how
we
can
still
offer
this
educational
opportunity
within
the
code
of
conduct
for
that
7
to
12
year
old
and
maybe
take
the
education
to
them.
E
Maybe
look
at
doing
it
school
based
because
really
it's
just
important
to
support
the
young
people
and
make
sure
that
those
behaviors
don't
continue
and
then
last
but
not
least,
certainly
our
constant
support
for
the
baby
oral
health
team.
We
have
partnered
with
them
through
money
that
was
originally
brought
to
the
district
by
Makeba
McCreary,
who
sent
moved
on
and
her
team
and
external
affairs
from
eastern
bank,
but
it
allowed
us
to
partner
with
my
life
my
choice
again
and
expand
some
of
the
services.
E
So
last
year
we
were
able
to
provide
direct
training
for
all
125
schools
on
education,
awareness
around
commercial
exploitation,
commercial,
sexual
exploitation
of
children.
This
year
we
have
had
one
full
session
again
as
well
as
train
6
to
8
school
psychologists
and
being
able
to
co,
facilitate
with
them
my
life,
my
choice,
facilitator
and
if
you
know
anything
about
that
organization,
they're
largely
staffed
by
survivors
of
that
life,
so
andrea,
amador
staff,
six
to
eight
of
them
will
be
had
been
trained,
have
been
trained.
E
Pardon
me
in
March
and
will
be
able
to
co,
facilitate
the
first
cycle
either
this
year
or
beginning
in
September,
and
that
will
allow,
for
instance,
a
middle
school
principal
decide
that
I
want
to
offer
this
education
awareness
to
my
entire
seventh
grade.
The
consent
form
would
go
out
to
the
parents
of
the
entire
seventh
grade.
If
those
young
ladies
want
to
sign
up,
they
can
and
that's
what
the
that's.
What
that
education
awareness
group
is
about.
It's
not
about
I!
Think
this
young
lady
is
involved
in
trafficking.
Therefore,
I'm
going
to
refer
her.
E
A
F
You
cheering
thank
you
I'll
just
start
with
safety
school
services,
since
that's
where
we
finished
Kim.
Just
thank
you
very
much
for
all
of
your
work,
especially
preparing
for
and
participating
in
our
hearing
in
March,
and
just
a
lot
of
my
focus
has
been
around
school
safety,
so
just
wanna.
Thank
you
in
your
department
effort
in
partnership
and
all
this
and
I
also
want
to
say
that,
as
I
continue
to
visit,
schools
I
have
noticed
a
real
difference
in
the
entry
sort
of
how
I'm
welcomed
into
the
school
that
process.
F
It's
not
any
less
welcoming,
but
it
feels
much
more
secure.
I
feel
much
better
when
I
visit
our
schools
across
the
district
and
I
always
feel
secure
and
I
feel
more
to
cure
my
own
kid
schools.
So
that's
just
really
great.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
where
we
are
in
the
building
upgrades
where
we
are
in
that
process
with
some
of
that
capital
investment
from
last
year?
Sure.
E
B
I
can
speak
to
that
counselor.
So,
as
has
been
mentioned
here
before,
as
of
about
midway
through
last
year,
the
1819
I'm
sorry
that
the
1718
school
year
we
had
a
capital
program
expenditure
of
2.5
million
dollars
planned
for
safety
in
our
school
safety
upgrades
in
our
schools.
The
mayor
generously
doubled
that
to
5
million
dollars
and
the
years
going
forward.
As
we've
talked
about
before,
we
have
begun
a
lot
of
that
important
work
with
the
main
priority
on
classroom
door
locks.
We
started
that
program
itself
in
February,
hitting
about
four
to
five
schools
month.
B
We
expect
that
that
initiative
itself
will
wrap
up
over
the
next
two
years,
so
it'll
cover
three
school
years
in
order
to
get
to
all
of
our
schools,
as
has
been
mentioned
before
many
of
our
schools
are
already
in
good
working
order
with
their
classroom
doors,
but
this
is
assuring
us
that
everything
is
uniformly
done
across
the
school
district.
With
these
upgrades
that
are
so
important.
F
B
All
of
our
schools
are
now
equipped
with
the
card
access
readers
at
key
exterior
door
points.
In
fact,
all
of
our
schools
have
multiple
entries
with
the
card
readers
Nick
sack,
Ramona
who's
here
today
led
that
work.
It
took
a
few
years
to
be
able
to
do
that
across
the
district,
but
I
think
people
are
very,
very
happy
with
that,
and
we've
seen
a
marked
decline
and
a
number
of
doors
that
are
left
propped
open
now
for
staff
who
are
out
at
recess
or
things
of
that
nature.
B
Exterior
doors
continue
to
be
our
number
one
priority
beyond
classroom
doors,
we're
happy
to
say
that
we
don't
have
any
issues
per
se,
but
if
something
were
to
come
up
with,
we
heard
from
a
school
today
that
said
that
their
exterior
door
is
not
functioning.
We
would
have
a
crew
out
there
within
hours
to
repair
that.
F
F
Could
we
use
this
most
recently
in
the
news?
There's
been
some
stories
about
measles
outbreaks
across
the
cross.
The
country
it
could
crisis
go
be
used
in
a
situation
like
that
to
inform
a
school
community,
either
district,
the
school
community
internally
or
families
about
some
sort
of
outbreak,
whether
it's
measles,
whether
it's
moms,
which
we've
seen
recently
well.
E
F
E
F
F
E
E
We
could
we
could
I
mean
we
talked
about
the
other
day.
You
know,
there's
other
avenues
that
we
could
use
to
alert
some
money
if
you
were
for
a
transportation
incident,
for
instance,
so
there's
a
way
that
we
could,
if
you've
got
every
school
leader
on
it.
It's
certainly
within
the
breadth
of
the
app
to
do
that
and.
F
Then
my
last
question
around
our
school
police
officers.
Is
there
an
ability
or
some
opportunity
to
teach
them
some
mental
health
first
aid,
because
we
have
our
health
behavioral
health
specialists
at
work
in
our
schools,
we've
got
Andrea
Amador's
team
we've
got
our
school
nurses,
and
hopefully,
eventually,
full-time
nurses
and
all
of
our
school
buildings.
But
many
of
our
school
police
officers
are
actively
engaging
with
our
kids
yeah.
E
E
Course
it
so
very
timely
call
my
inner
andrea
amador
today
that
I
asked
her
about,
but
we
I
just
had
a
conversation
with
Jenna
savage
at
BPD
and
they
have
some
funding
that
looks
like
it
will
cover
mental
health.
First
aid
training
in
the
week
in
June
that
we
need
it
for
over
60
officers
at
Boston,
schoolboys,
so.
F
E
Was
wondering
it
was
nice,
but
I
will
also
say
that
chief
Weston
and
deputy
chief
Johnson
we've
been
working
very
closely
together,
our
on
the
annual
professional
development
schedule
for
Boston
School
Police,
which
includes
enhanced
internal
partners
and
external
partners.
But
this
is
a
really
key.
This
is
something
that
our
Boston
school
police
officers
bring
to
us.
F
C
F
E
Looking
to
a
grant
now
to
partner
so
that
we
can
as
a
Samsa
grant
that
we're
partnering
with
BPD
and
that
would
provide
an
additional
best
social
worker
for
the
BPD
school
unit.
We'd
have
a
control
part
of
the
city
and
a
focus
part
of
the
city
and
we'd.
Look
at
what
the
impacts
on
those
those
schools
are
for
those
intensive
services
they
would
go
with
the
BPD
school
unit
and
we'd
have
a
liaison
at
bps
that
would
work
with
andrea
amador
to
track
that
work.
G
G
You
mr.
chair
and
thanks
to
the
panel
I,
want
to
keep
our
focus
on
school
safety
just
for
a
little
bit
so
orchard
gardens
is
in
my
district.
There's
been
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
people
reaching
out
to
my
office
around
the
new
box
that
is
they're
out
at
the
parking
lot.
There's
a
new
box
to
collect
needles.
Can
you
tell
me
about
what
that
process
was
in
getting
that
box?
What
I'm
hearing
is
concerned
that
it's
there
that
it
will
attract
more
people
with
more
needles?
E
B
Yes,
I
can
speak
to
that.
The
there
is
absolutely
nothing
cavalier
in
my
response.
I'll
try
to
say
that
ahead
of
time,
I
believe
that
this
is
an
example
where
you
have
two
different
groups
within
the
same
school
community,
pushing
for
opposite
things
when
we
were
addressing
the
very
important
needs
for
the
safety
of
the
children
and
staff
at
that
school.
B
G
And
I
appreciate
that
and
I
should
have
mentioned.
I've
also
heard
from
the
parents
in
that
that
school
community
that
did
want
the
box
there,
so
I
think
there
there
are
I
think
there
are
people
who
definitely
they
don't
want
children
to
be
pricked
and
they're
deeply
concerned
that
there
are
needles
on
the
school
grounds,
but
may
have
different
approaches
on
how
to
tackle
this
issue.
I
think
it's
very
important,
though,
to
closely
monitor.
G
B
B
And
as
we've
discussed
before
our
custodial
team
and
not
just
our
custodians
who
work
at
washi
gardens,
but
our
citywide
custodial
grounds,
crew
are
tracking
the
number
that
they're
picking
up
on
a
weekly
basis
as
well,
daily
and
weekly.
And
so
we,
yes,
we
will
be
able
to
compare
what
we
find
in
the
kiosk
compared
to
what
we
find
in
the
ground.
G
One
of
the
things
that
parents
at
orchard
also
asked
for
was
a
higher
fence.
So
I
noticed
this
week
the
black
wrought
iron
fence
was
taken
away
and
now
there's
a
taller
chain-link
fence.
Is
that
a
permanent
fence
that
chain-link
or
is
it?
Is
it
gonna,
be
another
wrought
iron
fence?
Because
the
chain-link
is,
you
know
very
weak
and
people
will
cut
through
it
correct.
B
G
Very
helpful,
and
and
thank
you
for
clarifying
around
the
box
as
well
I-
think
moving
forward
it'll
be
really
important
to
monitor
it
closely
to
stay
in
close
communication
with
the
school
community.
If
I
shift
a
little
bit
to
transportation,
I
continue
to
be
struck
by
the
the
growing
costs
on
slide.
G
Three
we're
talking
about
one
hundred
and
sixteen
schools
that
draw
from
ten
different
zip
codes
are
those
all
elementary
schools
or
do
they
also
include
some
of
the
the
schools
that
we
have
to
get
yellow
buses
for
middle
and
high
school
grades,
because
they're
too
far
from
public
transit
or
is
that
just
is
it
all
elementary?
That's.
B
G
G
B
G
G
H
You
very
much
good
morning:
I'll
try
to
go
segment
section
by
section
until
I
run
out
of
time,
starting
with
dr.
Benavidez,
Thank
You
Laura
for
all
of
your
partnership
and
so
so
excited
still
about
the
good
food
purchasing
program.
Any
update
on
you
know
how
you're
thinking
about
the
rollout
of
that
and
the
establishment
of
the
Community
Advisory,
Committee
or
kind
of
this
first
phase
of
collecting
information
from
vendors.
We.
D
We
are
currently
looking
at
in
reviewing
the
the
the
proclamation
and
making
sure
that
we're
trying
to
meet
all
its
needs
and
we're
currently
just
at
the
beginning
stages
and
trying
to
look
it's
right.
Now,
it's
more
of
an
internal
conversation
to
decide.
Well,
who
do
we
want
to
invite
to
the
table
and
then
determine
that
goes
in
as
we
are
reviewing
what
the
the
city's
requiring
of
us?
D
It's
also
looking
at
working
in
conjunction
with
as
we're
releasing
our
bids
and
our
RFPs
and
our
processes
for
the
four
and
then
making
sure
we
have
the
the
proper
language
that
we
want
to
be
able
to
to
utilize
in
the
in
when
we
release
our
documentation.
The
other
thing
is
that
we're
also
working
in
conjunction
with
the
Kendall
Foundation,
which
is
a
big
grant
that
we
did
receive
for
about
$400,000.
D
B
Thing
one
thing
councilor
just
to
add
to
that
Thank
You
Laura
is
I,
think
it's
it's
fantastic,
that
the
food
nutrition
services
department
is
reaching
out
to
other
funders
to
be
able
to
help
with
some
of
the
costs
associated
with
this.
But
I
do
think
it's
important
to
know
that,
even
though
this
is
just
a
very,
very
beginning,
stages
of
the
good
food
purchasing
program
that
will
likely
drive
up
costs,
and
that
is
a
concern
of
ours
as
we
sort
of
look
to
the
future
with
that
and.
H
D
We
looked
at
it
from
right
now
we
built
our
budget
to
be
using
some
of
the
process
that
we
currently
do
with
some
shifts
and
as
how
we're
transforming
more
into
cafeterias
and
kept
my
way
cafes
and
less
of
satellite
meal
program,
so
that
cost
is
is,
is
is
reflective
in
this
product
in
this
budget,
but
we
also
have
to
take
into
consideration
as
we
are
reviewing
and
having
conversations.
We'd
have
to
be
able
to
adjust
the
budget
once
we
start.
We,
you
know
having
those
conversations
and
see
what
that
impacts.
D
D
H
Alright,
thank
you
and
then
just
a
quick
question
about
school
police,
because
I
have
been
stopping
by
some
of
the
high
schools
and
did
what
was
at
Boston,
Latin,
Academy
and
just
hearing
about
this
way
that
the
space
is
divided
up
with
school
police
and
the
Boston
police
school
division
in
the
building.
Has
it
always
been
that
way,
I
mean
I?
Have
they
always
been
located
in
that
school
building
kind
of
taking
up
the
the
rooms
there
I'm.
E
I
Memory
serves
me
correctly:
our
office,
the
Safety
Office,
has
been
at
Latin
Academy,
since
they
basically
moved
there
in
1991
we
had
been
in
different
locations
before
that
Madison
Park.
We
had
been
out
at
the
Jenny
Barron
building.
We
had
done
another.
We
had
done
an
earlier
stint
at
BL,
a
on
the
front
part
of
the
building,
and
then
we've
been
here
now
for
a
long
long
time.
I
The
Boston
Police
School
Unit
has
basically
been
housed
with
us,
since
probably
around
2000
1999-2000
and
their
numbers
have
increased
over
the
years.
Their
units
started
as
as
a
commander
in
ten.
Then
it
went
up
to
about
a
commander
in
20.
Now
it's
around
a
commander
and
15,
or
so
so
we
just
have
that
little
corner
of
the
building
down
on
the
deck,
hard
street
side
and.
H
Is
it
necessary
to
be
in
a
is
it
just
because
it's
a
central
location
and
there
there
is
it's
kind
of
been
that
way,
I
just
thinking
about
school.
You
know
many
many
classroom
needs
and
the
school.
You
know
not
that
this
particular
school
was
complaining
or
anything,
but
just
how
we're
hearing
about
a
shortage
of
space
for
teachers
and
for
programming
has
there
been
any
conversation
recently
about
whether
that's
the
the
kind
of
plan
for
the
foreseeable
futures
to
use
that
space
in
the
school
building?
No.
B
Yeah,
there
hasn't
been
any
conversation
specific
to
that
it
if
it
becomes
a
critical
need
there.
You
know
where
the
Latin
Academy
is
expanding
an
enrollment
or
something
along
those
lines.
That
I
think
would
have
to
look
long
and
hard
at
that.
There
are
other
central
office
staff
that
are
located
at
Boston,
Latin
Academy
again
we
could.
We
could
look
at
that
in
conjunction
with
the
headmaster
at
Latin,
Academy
and.
H
I
Far
as
school
police
are
assigned,
we
have
a
captain
and
a
sergeant
in
our
dispatch
office.
During
the
day
we
have
one
lieutenant
that
is
housed
with
the
Boston
Police
School
Unit
in
their
offices.
Just
down
the
hall
myself
and
my
deputy
chief
and
my
principal
clerk
are
all
housed
there,
along
with
the
school
unit,
offices
and
I,
think
going
back
to
why
we
were
put
in
that
section
of
the
building
in
back
in
1991.
I
It
is
a
centrally
located
place
and
I
think
it
was
also
a
caveat
for
the
parents
of
BL
a
back
then
because
of
where
they
were
moving
to
that
building.
That
was
hey.
You
know,
you're
gonna
have
the
school
police
officer
upstairs,
but
you
also
have
the
department
itself
downstairs.
It
was
almost
like
you
have
extra
help
here
in
case.
Something
goes
on
and
we've
just
been
there
ever
since
in.
E
Counselor
I
would
just
add
to
Erica
and
say
that
out
of
the
75
school
police
officers,
68
are
assigned
school
based
they
just
they
may
stop
at
BL
a
for
administrative
purposes.
That's
it!
Okay!
Thank.
A
J
E
So
my
life,
my
choice,
has
been
around
Boston
for
several
years,
serving
young
women
who
are
exposed
to
commercial
sexual
exploitation.
Human
trafficking
largely
staffed
by
survivors
there
over
at
the
Family
Resource
Center
in
Brighton,
housed
with
Children's
Advocacy
Center
for
Suffolk
County
and
the
crimes
against
children's
unit
over
there
from
BPD.
So
last
year
we
saw
a
need
and
we're
able
to
collectively
at
bps,
get
some
funding,
some
private
funding
to
partner
with
my
life
my
choice
and
provide
for
all
125
schools
and
education
and
awareness,
3
education,
awareness
sessions
run
by
my
life.
E
To
identify
to
be
able
to
know
where
to
get
resources,
so
that
was
a
great
resource
to
have
out
there.
In
addition,
as
a
continuation
of
that
second
round
of
funding
from
Eastern
bank
that
was
secured
by
our
than
Department
of
External
Affairs,
it
continued
this
year
with
one
more
session
which
was
open
to
the
district
again
but
focused
on
School
Psychologists
and
our
health
and
wellness
teams,
because
they
sometimes
are
the
ones
that
will
have
the
first
contact
with
kids
at
schools
or
they'll,
see
schools.
E
I
think
we
had
about
eighty-five
percent
participation
rate
as
far
as
attending
the
session.
What
the
additional
piece
this
year
was
in
March,
andrea,
amador
who's,
a
senior
director
of
behavioral
health
offered,
six
to
eight
school
psychologists,
be
trained
through
additional
money
so
that
they
could
Co
facilitate
intensive
groups
for
young.
Ladies
in
designated
schools
that
wanted
the
service
at
bps
and
so
I'll
touch
on
this
again.
They,
it
would
look
like
this.
If
they
a
school,
say
in
middle
school,
wanted
the
education
and
awareness
intensive
group
for
their
seventh
grade.
E
They
would
send
out
a
consent
form
to
all
parents
and
guardians
of
the
seventh
grade
and
if
they
wanted
to
sign
up
their
young
person.
For
that,
then
that
young
lady
could
attend
that
group.
It's
not
about
whether
you
think
someone
is
participating,
there's
obviously
services
another
protocol
we
could
follow
if
that
was
an
issue,
but
it's
general
awareness
for
what
our
young
females
are
experiencing
in
the
community
at
times.
So
this
would
be
if
they
bring
in
the
consent
form,
then
they
could
join
that
group
and
it's
normally
a
10-week
session.
E
J
E
In
general,
we
respond
during
internal
audits.
We'd,
take
a
look
at
the
perimeter
to
some
schools,
some
schools
that
there's
cameras
inside
and
we'll
speak
to
the
school
leaders
and
safety
teams
about
what
their
needs
are.
If
we
have,
you
know,
heightened
incidents
in
certain
areas,
we'll
work
with
Nick,
sac
Ramona
and
our
facilities
team
to
do
walkthroughs
of
those
schools
and
designate
where
it's
most
efficient
and
we
have
resources
to
put
cameras
up.
E
E
J
B
B
It
was
three
years
ago
was
around
this
time
three
years
ago,
when
things
in
Flint
Michigan
hit
a
fever
pitch
and
other
districts
sort
of
came
at
the
tail
end
of
that,
including
Boston,
Public,
Schools
I
think
it's
extremely
important
to
know,
and
we're
constantly
trying
to
remind
the
general
public
of
this,
to
the
extent
that
it
matters
that
yes,
there
was
a
problem
with
several
DPS
schools.
At
that
time.
B
The
problem
that
we
were
facing
is
at
the
federal
action
level
and
meaning
the
acceptable
level
for
lead
in
drinking
water
was
15
parts
per
billion.
I
was
actually
20
parts
per
billion.
We
were
more
stringent
here
in
Massachusetts
at
15
parts
per
billion,
and
we
found
some
schools
that
had
18
21
28
16
things
of
that
nature.
Flint
Michigan
was
in
the
hundreds
right,
so
they
just
think
it's
important
to
note
to
people
that
the
problem
that
we
had
three
years
ago
number
one
it's
old
news
at
this
point,
but
number
two.
B
It
was
nowhere
near
the
level
of
public
health
scare
that
you
had
in
other
cities.
That
said,
there
has
been
tremendous
positive
development
in
that
area.
Over
the
last
three
years,
there
have
been
a
number
of
schools
that
were
turned
off
at
that
point,
meaning
we
shut
down
their
water
fountains
and
put
in
bottled
water.
Many,
if
not
most,
of
those
schools
have
actually
had
their
fountains
turned
back
on
now
we're
at
the
point
with
the
state
of
Massachusetts,
where
we're
actually
leading
policy
for
the
state.
B
When
we
were
confronting
this
crisis
two
plus
years
ago
and
thought
you
know,
it
would
be
really
cost-effective
and
smart
and
healthy
to
start
filtering
our
water
fountains,
particularly
those
where
we've
had
problems
in
the
past.
The
state
said
you
know,
we
don't
know,
this
is
sort
of
new
territory
for
us,
but
they
were
willing
to.
Let
us
try
that
we
had
fantastic
results,
negligible
levels
of
lead
in
schools
that
had
water
filters,
a.
B
B
Fountains
and
as
a
result
of
that,
the
state
is
now
looking
to
us
to
help
lead
policy
for
the
state.
The
Environmental
Protection
Agency
just
recently
through
the
Trump
administration,
changed
the
action
level
where
now
there's
no
longer
a
safe
threshold,
so
to
speak,
they
are
just
requiring
that
state.
B
Yeah
they're
no
longer
letters,
okay,
no
longer
saying
20,
they're,
saying
they're,
saying
zero
right,
but
the
policy
is
very
bad
and
it
left
States
up
to
their
own
discretion
to
actually
interpret
that
as
as
they
would,
the
state
of
Massachusetts
looked
to
us
in
bps,
literally
to
shape
some
of
that
policy.
We
suggested
to
the
state
that
districts
show
constant
effort
and
momentum
to
to
get
toward
that
zero
goal
across
their
schools
and
the
state
is
now
adopting
our
preferred
policy
on
that
as
a
way
of
showing
the
rest
of
the
Commonwealth
here's.
B
What
Boston
is
doing
and
here's
how
they're
taking
the
lead
in
this
issue,
the
last
thing,
I
will
say,
is
again
further
proof
of
our
efforts
in
this
area.
Just
last
year,
the
state
of
Massachusetts
awarded
only
two
school
districts
with
a
major
award
related
to
safe,
high
quality
drinking
water
for
schools.
Boston
was
one
of
those
two
school
districts.
Thank
you,
John
Thank
You
mr.
chair.
Thank.
K
Thank
You
Council
cm,
oh,
and
thank
you
to
the
panelists
for
for
for
being
here
and
for
your
leadership
on
on
these
important
issues.
I
know
I
just
want
to
follow
up
on
my
colleague,
council
Baker
on
some
safety
related
issues.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
visit
the
Family
Justice
Center
at
Commonwealth
Avenue
they
that
you've
referenced,
and
this
morning
I
was
at
the
Asian
Task
Force
on
domestic
violence
for
a
meeting.
K
What
is
what
is
the
in
a
couple
weeks
ago
that
the
South
End
Community
Health
Center,
and
they
were
they
want
to
do
more
outreach
with
bps
on
reaching
young
boys
in
the
Boston
Public
Schools
on
domestic
violence,
education
awareness?
Is
there
any
updates
or
status
that
you
have
on
on
that
issue?
How
we're
reaching
our
young
young
boys
in
Boston,
Public
Schools
on
domestic
violence
awareness
education
in
trauma
that
they
may
have
experienced
in
their
own
lives
lives
as
well.
E
Counselor
I
don't
have
any
specific
information
on
it,
but
there's
two
things:
I
think
I'm
happy
to
make
that
connection
with
them.
It
would
likely
fall
within
the
social
emotional
wellness
and
they
certainly
have
some
sort
of
curriculum
around
that
work
where
it
is
and
how
active
it
is
at
this
time
I'm,
not
certain
but
Ike
we
can
certainly
and
I,
can
redirect
to
Jill
Carter
and
get
you
an
answer
on
that
and
make
sure
that
that
link
happens.
Thank.
K
You
and
if
John
just
wanted
to
follow
up
also
on
public
health
related
issues
in
the
in
the
schools,
I
always
think
the
most
important
part
of
learning
is
during
the
summertime
or
it
should
be.
Unfortunately,
a
lot
of
our
parents
are
away
in
our
Stewart
students
away,
but
in
terms
of
Public
Health.
What
is
the
BPS
doing
in
the
summertime
reaching
vulnerable
populations?
Maybe
they're
in
public
housing,
or
maybe
we
have
a
lot
of
students
in
poverty,
but
what?
B
Can't
speak
too
much
to
the
public
health
side
of
it,
since
that's
not
under
operations,
but
I
think
I
can
try
to
be
helpful.
There
are
obviously
a
number
of
different
summer
programs
within
Boston
Public
Schools,
where
we
continue
to
have
touch
points
with
our
children.
There's
an
extended
school
year
program
for
special
education.
The
office
of
English
language
learners
has
a
summer
program
that
extends
through
July
and
I
believe
into
the
beginning
of
August.
B
We
obviously
have
summer
school
up
and
running
for
children
who
need
those
services
as
well
and
lastly,
we
work
very
very
closely
with
the
Centers
for
Youth
and
Family,
as
well
as
organizations
like
the
private
industry,
Council
and
others
to
place
students
in
high
school
age
into
summer.
Jobs
I'll
end
there,
but
I
do
want
to
turn
over
to
Laura
to
talk
about
the
summer
meals
program
which,
which
speaks
a
little
bit
to
the
public
health
side
of
things
and
is
a
fantastic
service
that
we
provide
to
families.
So.
D
Every
year
we
do
offer
summer
programs
available
for
our
families.
Last
year
we
had
121
sites
are
available.
This
year
we
have
126
this
year.
We've
also
collaborated
with
project
bread
and
the
cities
of
Boston
eats
program,
as
well
as
the
YMCA
to
be
able
to
try
to
work
together
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
capture
as
many
families
as
possible
any
children
and
families
with
children
between
the
ages
of
1
and
19
to
be
able
to
participate.
One
of
the
other
things
that
we
were
able
to
accomplish
this
year
as
well.
D
With
this,
with
this
collaboration,
we
got
a
mobile
van
to
be
able
to
move
to
locations
to
be
able
to
capture
students
that
can't
get
to
some
locations
that
we
have.
We
always
welcome
anymore.
Any
ideas
any
place,
that's
willing
to
be
able
to
help
us
to
be
able
to
provide
meals
to
students.
We
go
everywhere.
Libraries
parks
pools
anything
so
any.
If
there's
any
question
of
where
the
locations
we
will
make
sure
they
let
you
know
that
all
that
information,
so
you
can
share
with
your
yeah.
K
K
K
Can
we
target
some
of
those
students
to
make
sure
that
they're
they
have
the
services
that
they
need
just
so
that
when
they
go
back
to
school
at
the
end
of
August,
they're,
healthy,
they're,
they're
happy
and
they
you
know
they're
they're,
getting
the
services
that
they
need
to
be
successful
for
the
upcoming
school
year?
That's.
D
K
L
You
very
much
I
wanted
to
first
again
congratulate
the
schools
for
your
Laura
for
your
program
or
the
program.
My
way
cafe.
It's
still
one
of
the
I
think
the
most
popular
things
in
our
schools
in
East,
Boston,
and
so
as
its
manding,
and
I
understood
if
it's
expanding
in
with
the
opportunity
or
with
the
equity
lens
so
going
to
some
of
the
schools
that
have
some
of
the
bigger
income,
inequality
or
concentrations
of
poverty.
I
think
that's
great
I'm,
just
curious
in
terms
of
your
timeline
and
roll
out
into
other
schools.
D
Its
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
again
provide
fresh
food
for
our
students
in
Boston,
so
for
this
year
we
did
utilize
the
same
up,
the
same
criteria
for
we
when
we
focus
on
East
Boston
Roxbury
in
Mattapan,
which
was
the
opportunity
index
participation
and
free
and
reduced
price
meal
eligibility,
which
is,
though,
though,
the
list
of
schools
that
were
using
for
next
year,
which
is
Dorchester
and
South
Boston.
For
the
other
schools.
We
are
always
the.
D
We
did
have
a
tentative
rollout
schedule
for
those
schools
and
we're
looking
at
Jamaica,
Plain,
Charlestown,
Austin,
Brighton
and
Fenway
in
2021
and
Hyde
Park
South
in
West,
Roxbury
and
Rosendale
in
2122.
But
in
the
meantime,
as
we
we're
always
exploring
ideas
within
some
of
the
limitations
that
we
do.
Have.
We've
been
out
to
visit
out
in
schools
in
Charlestown
to
be
able
to
see
how
we
can
add
in
salad,
bars
in
the
high
schools
and
in
the
high
school
or
in
some
of
the
areas
of
where
we
can
we're.
D
Also
working
with
our
partner
revolution
foods.
They
have
a
program
called
family-style
meals
where
they
actually
take
them
within
some
of
the
limitations
that
we
have
in
the
facilities
to
be
able
to
provide
meals
in
a
whole
whole
hotel
pans,
and
they
can
be
able
to
serve
the
students.
It's
not
quite
exactly
my
way
cafe,
but
it's
definitely
opportunities
to
getting
children
exposed
to
more
choices
that
they
have
at
that
location.
It's.
L
L
L
Disgusted
that
we
were
celebrating
can
month
was
very
just
just
had
very
I
would
call
very
racist
things
to
say
about
the
community
and
just
walked
in
and
out
around
this,
not
around
the
school,
but
in
the
foyer
area,
videotaping
that
and
noting
the
looking
at
all
the
you
know,
some
of
the
words
in
Arabic,
noting
that
they
were
congresswoman.
Talib
was
celebrated
all
of
these
different
things,
and
it
was
how
she
got.
L
She
just
rang
the
bell
and
walked
in
and
was
able
to
walk,
and
we
did
I
did
speak
with
the
principal
and
I
believe
the
Austin
Police
Department
have
been
notified,
but
just
talk
to
talk
to
me
a
little
bit
about
more
safety
protocols
and
how
that
I
mean
she
could
have
easily
walked
in
with
something
else
is
my
point.
She
just
rang
the
bell
and
walked
in
sure.
E
So
relevant
to
Boston
Public
Schools
I
appreciate
that
I
did
watch
the
video
yesterday.
It
got
to
our
Ombudsperson,
which
got
to
our
safety
team,
which
was
then
shared
with
sergeant
section
at
the
school
police
team.
There
are
so
many
levels
wrong
with
the
video
it's
hard
to
know
where
to
start,
but
for
me
around
your
question,
it
opened
us
talking
about
one
of
the
priorities
for
our
school
year,
which
is
school
access.
E
That's
completely
opposite
of
the
school
access
mandate
that
we
have
in
superintendent,
Circulo,
SAF
12
for
bps,
so
authorization
in
working
with
schools
to
support
how
they
allow
authorization
into
their
space
is
one
of
our
priorities
for
next
year.
So
to
give
you
an
example
of
what
that
how
that
circular
plays
out
and
schools
are
in
compliance
with
that,
so
no
one
is
to
be
buzzed
into
a
school
until
you've
received
identification
and
their
reason
for
that.
E
If
their
reason
for
being
at
that
school
is
to
see
a
staff
person
at
that
school,
we
have
asked
school
staff
to
verify
that
prior
to
allowing
that
person
into
the
space
if
they
have
an
appointment.
That's
already
been
documented,
they're
allowed
in
they
sign
in
they
check
their
ID
and
they're
asked
to
wait
in
a
designated
location
that
multiple
eyes
have
on
that
person
just
so
that
they're
not
wandering
around
the
school,
albeit
this
can
be
challenging.
E
We
have
told
them
not
to
allow
that
individual
into
their
school
and
we
will
follow
up
and
figure
out
what
the
reason
was.
Their
responsibilities
are
much
larger
than
why,
whatever
reason
that
one
person
is
at
their
door,
so
I
followed
up
personally
with
the
school
police
unit.
On
that
issue
yesterday,
there
should
have
been
an
immediate
threshold
inquiry
at
Excel
and
East
Boston
as
to
why
that
individual
is
in
their
lab,
not
even
in
their
Lobby
but
filming
in
their
Lobby.
E
A
M
You,
mr.
chairman
and
good
morning
early
afternoon,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
I
apologize
for
my
tardiness.
I
had
another
commitment
but
cut
it
short,
because
this
is
one
of
the
more
important
budget
hearings
appreciate
all
of
you
working
to
the
folks
behind
me.
You
may
have
already
answered
these.
Questions
are
gone
over
and
I
apologize.
You
can
give
me
sort
of
the
Reader's
Digest
answers
if
that's
the
case
and
I
will
review
the
tape,
but
I
noticed
that
the
this
year's
budget,
as
it
relates
to
overall
transportation,
is
less
than
what
FY
19
ended
up
being.
M
B
Well,
one
thing
I
think
that's
important
to
know
is
the
the
drop
that
you're
seeing
from
FY
19
FY
20
project
is
it's,
it
is
a.
It
is
a
drop
right.
I
mean
you're
out
here,
you're,
absolutely
accurate
to
call
it
a
drop,
but
it's
a
relatively
flat
but
yeah
in
previous
budget
budget
presentations.
You
would
have
seen
a
proposal
for
a
bigger
drop
from
the
current
year
to
the
next
year,
as
the
budget
was
being
devised.
B
I
B
We
actually
just
met
yesterday
as
part
of
a
workgroup
assembled
to
discuss
those
issues,
and
we
believe
that
we
are
identifying
many
students
across
the
district
who's
whose
disabilities
would
not
normally
require
them
to
have
those
accommodations
and
so
we're
working
very
closely
with
schools
to
be
able
to
try
to
pull
back
on
some
of
that,
because
we
do
believe
that
some
of
the
growth
there
has
been
a
little
bit
artificial
and
again
I'm
trying
to
speak
delicately
here,
because
certainly
I
need
the
accommodation
sure
we
want
to
be
able
to
serve
them.
This.
M
Is
a
good
it's
good,
I
appreciate
a
more
sort
of
conservative
approach
or
perhaps
liberal
approach
to
costs
and
realizing
that
the
if
there
is
a
differential
next
year,
it'll
be
less
than
what
we've
seen
in
years
past.
That's
great
talk
a
little
bit
about
your
switch
to
alternative
fuel.
I'm
very
excited
to
see
your
efforts
in
that
space,
John
I'm.
N
C
So
our
fleet
and
compliance
manager,
Peter
Crossan
who's
in
the
audience,
has
done
great
exceptional
work,
I
should
say,
and
we
should
recognize
him
for
the
work
that
he
do
right
he's
worked
on,
making
sure
that
our
buses
that
we're
getting
propane
buses,
so
this
next
school
year
we're
getting
75
additional
propane
buses,
which
would
mean
75.
Our
percent
of
our
fleet
will
be
propane
when
you
look
at
VPS
and
you
look
at
not
things
naturally.
C
M
If
ik,
absolutely
you're
speaking
my
language
there
Dell
horn,
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
any
ideas
to
look
at
electric
buses
in
the
future?
I
recognize
the
demand
of
the
school
buses
different
than
other
cars,
but
there's
also
a
lot
of
downtime
in
the
middle
of
the
day.
So
is
there
any
talk
about
having
trying
to
pilot
an
electric
bus
or
electric
routes.
C
M
Want
to
get
to
I
guess
this
allow
this
to
be
my
request
that
in
the
future,
as
we
talk
about
things
I
know,
other
districts
have
employed
electric
buses
for
school
transportation.
I
recognize
again
that
a
school
bus
is
on
a
road
and
can
have
less
of
a
battery
life
than
perhaps
other
municipal
vehicles,
but
there's
also
an
opportunity
for
recharging
the
super
charging
stations.
M
The
technology
is
advancing
in
such
a
way
that
chart
fully
charging
a
battery
on
electric
vehicle
will
soon
be
not
dissimilar
from
filling
up
your
gas
tank
in
terms
of
getting
it
done
in
a
matter
of
minutes,
so
I
hope
in
the
future.
We
can
be
talking
about
electric
fleets,
but
nevertheless
appreciate
this
important
step
to
diesel.
M
B
A
dull
burn
presented
in
that
yeah,
your
counselor
and
the
brief
story.
There
is
that's
happening
for
two
reasons
and
both
are
I,
think
somewhat
misleading
and
the
number
I
should
say
is
somewhat
misleading
number
one.
There
are
some
key
vacancies
in
the
Transportation
Department
this
past
year
and
because
those
positions
were
not
filled,
those
expenses
were
not
incurred.
B
There
were
other
positions,
including
assistant
director,
of
operations
that
were
vacant
first
short
period
of
time,
assistant
director
of
school,
supports
and
customer
service
that
is
still
vacant
and
has
been
vacant
since
Della
Verne
left
that
post
and
moved
into
the
director's
job.
Those
positions
are,
you
know,
vital
to
the
organization's
well-being
and
we're
very
happy
to
say
that
they
all
will
be
filled
really
by
that
at
the
end
of
next
week.
B
Director
position
was
was
vacant
for
a
few
months.
Yeah,
the
assistant
director
of
operations
position
was
was
vacant
for
a
few
months.
The
assistant
director
of
school
supports
and
customer
service
has
been
vacant
for
I
guess
about
eight
months
or
so.
In
addition
to
that,
though,
it's
really
important
to
know
that
there
are
two
two
causes
to
this
increase,
that
you're
seeing
and
again
it
is
somewhat
artificial.
B
The
other
is,
as
you
know,
bps
does
their
personnel
budgeting
based
on
average
salaries,
an
average
salaries
fluctuate
year-to-year,
and
what
time
what
oftentimes
happens
is
it
leads
to
what
seems
to
be
big
on
paper
when,
in
reality,
it's
not
big
swings,
people
are
still
getting
paid,
what
they
were
paid,
if
not
with
the
step
increase
attached
to
it.
There's
no
like
massive
raises
given
out
across
the
department.
B
B
N
Thank
You
councillor
co-moh,
and
thank
you
to
the
panelists
for
all
that
you
do
for
bps
our
students
and
our
families
and
I've
seen
some
of
you
guys,
obviously
on
the
ground
in
the
schools,
including
you
lor,
with
the
my
way
cafe,
rollout
and
Kim.
Of
course,
your
involvement
with
our
public
safety
meeting.
So
thank
you,
delaford
as
well
and
John
in
delvar
and
lives
in
my
district.
So
a
lot
of
love
to
deliver
and
I
just
I
can
review
the
tape.
N
I
apologize
for
being
late,
so
I
won't
ask
the
same
questions
that
were
already
asked.
I
just
have
some
questions
on
the
welcome
centers,
and
maybe
this
is
best
for
you
John.
Just
the
number
of
welcome
centers
are
investments
in
the
in
welcome
centers.
How
many
employees,
our
staff,
do
we
have
operating
in
the
welcome
centers?
F
E
But
that
did
get
to
me
yesterday,
through
our
Ombudsperson,
our
safety
team
and
I
spoke
to
sergeant
Sexton
about
it
so
anytime,
something
that
will
come
across
our
way.
We
will
ensure
that
it
gets
to
the
appropriate
authorities
so
that
they
can
support
them
and
we
will
also
offer
support
should
they
need
it
great.
F
And
we'll
also
learn
from
it
see
if
there's
any
sort
of
lessons
learned
correct
on
that
incident
and
I
just
saw
it
sort
of
the
headlines
of
it.
I
know
that
counsel.
Read
words
asked
about
that
I'm,
so
I
switch
my
questions
to
the
food
services.
If
that's
okay,
Laura
thank
you
for
being
here
and
thank
you
for
your
work
on
behalf
of
our
kids,
and
we
know
that
so
many
of
our
students
living
at
or
below
the
poverty
level
in
their
reliance
on
our
food
and
nutrition
services
is
is
critical.
F
Can
we
talk
a
little
bit
about
breakfast
I
think
we
talked
about
it
last
year,
there's
been
a
lot
of
movement
movement
up
at
the
state
about
kids
eating
breakfast.
What
do
in
the
movement
to
breakfast
after
the
bell?
Can
we
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
we're
delivering
breakfast
after
the
bell?
What
does
that
look
like
in
our
schools,
sure.
D
So,
in
January
of
this
year
2019
we
did
receive
a
clarification
and
a
mandate
from
the
Department
of
elementary
and
secondary
education
that
any
school
that
is
considered
over
60%,
free
and
reduced-priced
would
be
required
to
offer
a
breakfast
after
the
bell.
So
Boston
is
a
community
eligibility
provision,
School
District,
so
all
of
our
schools
are
fall
under
that,
regardless
of
even
if
we
look
at
individual
status,
some
schools
are
higher
than
the
just
the
citywide
seventy
percent
free
and
reduced
and
so
far
lower
than
that.
D
But
everyone
because
we
all
we
are
universal
feeding
program.
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
were
in
compliance
with
that
on
March
14th
I
had
the
opportunity
to
present
a
professional
development
to
all
of
our
administration
to
talk
to
them
about
opportunities,
because
the
the
notification
from
deci
also
stated
that
by
April
1st,
if
a
school
did
not
have
an
after
after
the
bell
program,
they
would
have
to
implement
one
by
May
31st
of
this
school
year.
D
So
part
of
that
the
language
is
very
the
the
language
states
that
the
the
breakfast
must
be
offered
after
the
first
tardy
Bell.
So
that
could
it
could
be
a
different
variety
of
different
things
in
Boston,
we
have
four
main
models
that
we
provide
breakfast
after
the
bell.
One
is
breakfast
in
the
classroom.
Second,
is
a
grab-and-go
from
the
cafeteria
to
the
classroom.
Third
is
a
grab-and-go
in
a
different
area
outside
of
the
classroom,
and
the
fourth
is
keeping
the
cafeteria
open
after
the
first.
D
The
bell
has
rung
through
all
of
these
different
models
that
we
offer
breakfast
for.
Our
students
we
are,
we
are
continually,
are
focused
through
the
mandate
that
came
we're
focused
on
about
30
schools
that
only
offer
cafeteria
service
or
that
do
not
have
a
breakfast
after
the
bell
to
be
able
to
help
them.
D
D
D
F
If
we're
seeing
eighteen
and
ninety
percent
participation,
which
increases
the
opportunity
for
reimbursement
right,
why
aren't
we
doing
more
of
that
breakfast
in
the
classroom
and
as
a
former
classroom
teacher
I
get
some
of
the
hesitation
around
food
in
the
classroom
and
the
mass
and
sometimes
a
distraction?
But
I
also
appreciate
the
benefit
of
making
sure
that
our
kids
have
access
to
breakfast
well,.
D
I
think
for
for
us
breakfast
in
the
classroom,
definite,
we
does
increase
the
access,
but
it
doesn't
necessarily
because
the
way
the
program
does
work
does
it.
It
doesn't
not
always
necessarily
answer
that
the
child
is
actually
eating
the
breakfast.
It's
just
that
we're
counting
breakfast
what
I?
What
some
of
the
things
that
I
like
it
I
focus
on
are
where
we
can
include
our
accountability.
D
So
when
we
are
audited
that
we
can
be
able
to
say
to
the
state,
we
know
this
child
took
this
breakfast
and
is
eating
it,
but
so
some
of
the
programs
that
we
are
seeing
success
on
when
they
have
a
cafeteria
to
the
classroom,
meaning
so
they'll
bring
the
students
down.
They
grab
something
in
the
cafeteria.
D
They
go
right
back
up
into
the
classroom
and
children
who
really
want
to
participate
will
be
able
to,
and
we
also
do
encourage
them
that
maybe
they
might
not
be
hungry,
but
they
could
be
hungry
in
an
hour
an
hour
and
a
half,
so
we
also
provide
items
that
they
could
save
for
safer
later
right.
So
those
are
some
of
the
schools
that
we
do
see.
Success.
D
Other
schools,
where
we
all
see
success
or
even
its
cafeteria
service,
it's
because
the
administration
has
made
it
a
point
that
this
is
something
that's
a
very
vital
to
the
school.
We
want
to
make
sure
we're
creating
this
culture
of
food
in
the
school,
and
so
we
are
seeing
a
higher
not
as
high
as
eighty
ninety
percent,
but
in
between
their
ranges
of
sixty
and
seventy
percent
per
2
cm.
F
The
is,
is
there
a
way
to
incentivize
a
school,
to
increase
those
numbers
and
get
more
kids
the
access,
and
that
the
other
piece
of
that,
though,
with
the
cap,
the
role
of
the
cafeteria
is
when
we
have
kids
that
are
late
to
school,
because
we
know
that
we
have
a
problem
with
tardiness.
For
example,
that
cafeteria
is
really
not
the
answer
at
the
classroom
because
becomes
the
answer,
because
we
want
kids
in
class
for
their
academic
work
so
that
the
food
in
the
classroom
or
the
car
just
outside
the
classroom.
So.
D
We
are
currently
working
on
those
different
kinds
of
pilots,
because
we
we
recognize
that
and
even
through
the
feedback
that
we
received
from
administration,
sometimes
its
logistics
and
issues
in
the
schools.
That
may
be
a
problematic
as
well
as
even
for
us
and
food
services.
I
may
not
have
enough
staff
in
the
morning
to
be
able
to
have
different
cards,
but
we're
looking
at
those
options,
specifically
exactly
what
you
said
is
creating
cards
in
areas
in
hallways
in
areas
that
can
be
much
more
self
sustainable.
D
F
G
G
You
so
much
staying
on
the
topic
of
good
food
for
our
young
people.
Thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
do.
I'm
very
excited
about
my
way,
cafe.
I
think
it's
definitely
the
right
way
to
go
in
terms
of
making
sure
our
young
people
have
fresh
local,
healthy
food,
so
you're
in
29
schools,
29
schools
today.
D
G
D
The
the
the
mayor
just
released
are
the
list
of
the
schools,
so
we
are
on
April
24,
so
we
are
going
into
the
Dorchester
and
the
South
Boston
areas
next
school
year,
and
then
we
have
developed
a
tentative
rollout
plan
for
all
of
the
neighborhoods
between
now
and
2020
to
to
be
able
to
encompass
all
of
the
schools.
Yeah.
G
G
It
seems
that
many
students
are
enjoying
school
lunch.
It's
in
the
middle
of
the
day.
They're
there,
the
decline,
not
the
decline,
but
the
low
numbers
for
school
breakfast
is
that
about
tardiness
is
that
young
people
are
eating
breakfast
at
home.
What
do
you
make
of
these
low
numbers
compared
to
the
lunch
numbers?
The
breakfasts,
compared
to
the
lunch
so.
D
Definitely
access
is
always
key.
We
do
have
a
very
captive
audience
in
lunch,
particularly
you
see
higher
participation
in
lunch
for
elementary
students,
because
they're
all
brought
down
to
the
cafeteria,
it's
very
it's
very
scheduled
and
children
are,
you
know,
creatures
of
habit
in
high
schools
and
middle
schools.
It's
it's
a
tougher
arena,
because
even
their
schedules
are
different
and
I
think
anecdotally.
It
is
a
lot
of
different
pieces
of
information
of
why
children
are
participating
in
breakfast.
It
could
be,
you
know,
they're
late
on
the
bus.
D
It
could
be
in
areas
that
you
they
eat
at
home
or
it
could
be
that
they
don't
have
access
and
some
and
in
some
cases
maybe
we
in
food
services
aren't
doing
is
enough
to
make
sure
that
they
understand
that
the
cafeteria
is
always
open.
So
when
we
looked
at
all
of
the
data
and
we
were
presenting
information
to
administration,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
were
aware
and
know
their
data,
a
school-by-school
to
say.
You're,
free
and
reduced-price
eligibility
is
70
this
to
say,
for
example,
70%,
but
your
participation
is
17%.
D
So
how
can
we
help
you
close
that
gap?
What
is
it
that
we
we
can
do
in
food
services
to
make
making
sure
that
we're
able
to
help
you
reach
and
obtain
that
that
your
every
student
who
does
want
to
eat
have
a
seat,
and
it
could
even
be
just
a
shift
in
the
culture
of
the
school
of
how
food
is
maybe
not
necessarily
a
concern
that
it
creates
pasture
rodents
or
anything
like
that.
D
But
when
we
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
administration,
we
had
I
had
other
principles
and
Headmaster's
speak
and
say
what
they
did
in
their
schools
to
be
able
to
make
that
change
to
be
able
to
think
through.
Well,
what
would
be
what?
How
can
we
create
more
access
points
for
for
students,
because
that's
the
most
important
thing
and
have.
G
You
seen
any
models
in
terms
of
schools
that
are
increasing
their
numbers
in
terms
of
breakfasts
in
particular,
so
you
know
I'm
concerned
that
this
is
the
first
meal
of
the
day.
We
all
know
how
important
breakfast
is
for
all
of
us,
but
particularly
our
young
people.
If
we're
looking
at
fiscal
year,
16
we're
at
we
have
39
or
3.9,
we
see
a
dip
in
fiscal
17,
another
dip
in
18.
It
goes
back
up
in
19,
which
is
good.
How
do
we
continue
to
get
that
number
to
grow?
I?
Think.
D
Certainly,
the
awareness-
and
it's
also,
it
is
literally
a
case-by-case
school-by-school
review
and
observation
I'm-
happy
to
say
that
since
we,
since
the
mandate
came
out
in
January
from
deci,
we
had
9
schools
that
immediately
made
some
changes
in
offering
breakfast
after
the
bell
breakfast
grabbing
go-carts
and
we
saw
and
out
of
those
nine
schools.
Five
of
them
were
high
schools,
so
they
do
recognize
their
need
and
we
saw
an
increase
of
participation
anywhere
between
three
and
thirty
percent
participation
increase.
D
Then
then
we
also
have
another
ten
schools
that
signed
up
to
make
sure
that
they
met
and
a
need
by
May,
31st.
So
I
think
that,
as
we
are,
as
we
closing
the
end
of
the
school
year,
we're
able
to
see
I
know
I
see
it,
there's
a
definite
vast
difference
between
participation
in
October,
then
in
March
and
in
April.
We
are
seeing
some
increases
not
as
much
as
we
want
to,
but
it
is
our
focus
for
us
for
next
year.
Then
again,
I
always
share
that
anytime.
B
Sorry,
if
I
made
just
a
couple
other
things
I
want
to
come
back
to
councillor
Edwards
question
before
as
well,
that
the
North
End
is
going
to
be
joined
with
the
south
end
and
the
2120
to
roll
out
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
respond
to
the
councillors
question
earlier.
As
far
as
breakfast
participation
just
two
other
factors
that
I'd
point
out
number
one,
we
still
have
a
large
number
I
think
more
than
1/3
of
our
elementary
schools
that
start
at
9:30
schools
that
start
that
late.
B
Typically,
we
see
a
very
low
participation
rate
in
breakfast,
because
many
of
those
children
have
already
eaten
breakfast
before
they
arrive
at
school.
Secondly,
as
Laura
mentioned,
what
we
are
tackling
head-on
is
the
model
that
each
school
chooses
to
operate
under
and
we're
trying
to
work
with
those
schools
to
implement
grab-and-go
carts.
To
think
of
a
breakfast
in
the
classroom
to
explore
other
options
to
provide
breakfast
for
students
and.
G
G
So,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
the
work
I'm
excited
about
my
away,
cafe,
I
think
really
important
to
get
the
breakfast
numbers
up
and
increase
access
just
so
important
in
terms
of
being
ready
to
learn
and
close
an
opportunity
and
achievement
gaps.
My
final
question
Thank
You
mr.
chair
for
indulging
me
I,
had
a
question
at
our
last
hearing
and
I.
G
Think
I
got
the
data
here
about
the
number
of
students
that
were
grandfathered
under
the
three
zone
system
that
are
still
being
transported
through
the
home
base
system
and
I
have
here
for
fiscal
year.
19
there
were
two
students
is
that
that
doesn't
sound
right
to
me
and
this
how
many
students
are
under
the
old
assignment
plan
that
are
being
transported
currently
I.
B
Believe
what
that
data
might
be
referring
and
I
apologize,
I
can't
speak
to
it
completely
and
I.
Don't
know
if
you
have
that
data,
but
that
might
be
there
might
be
only
to
students
themselves
who
are
still
grandfathered
under
that
system,
but,
as
you
know,
they're
the
siblings
of
students
who
were
in
under
the
previous
zones,
those
siblings
are
still
grandfathered
as
well.
That
number
surely
does
not
respond
to
that.
So
we
can
try
to
track
that.
That.
J
B
It's
hard
to
say
whether
it
would
help
us
on
more
Walker's
to
school.
What
I
would
say,
though,
is
that
probably
it
would
in
that
a
couple
of
our
priority
areas
right
now,
as
far
as
new
builds
and
expansions
are
concerned,
our
East
Boston
Dorchester
Matapan
Roxbury.
The
reason
why
is
because,
typically
in
those
areas,
we
have
more
students
than
we
have
seats
and
because
we
have
more
students
than
we
have
seats.
B
For
example,
there
are
a
large
number
of
students
who
live
in
the
population
center
of
Dorchester
Matapan,
who
are
going
far
outside
of
their
neighborhoods
to
attend
school
in
some
cases,
that's
by
choice
in
other
cases,
that's
because
there
are
no
seats
nearby.
So
we
know
that
we
have
to
take
an
active
look
within
build
VPS
at
growing
schools
in
those
areas
so
that
students
no
longer
have
to
travel
so
far
to
school,
at
least
by
and
large.
B
Now
that's
a
long-term
goal
and
that
will
take
some
time
through
building
design,
community
engagement,
building
construction,
so
on
and
so
forth.
But
I
do
think
your
your
question
is
is
fair
because
I
believe
it
will
likely
increase
that.
But
it's
hard
to
say,
because
the
goal
of
building
piss
isn't
necessary
to
increase.
The
number
of
students
are
walking
to
school.
One
of
the
goals
is
to
increase
the
number
of
seats
that
are
available
in
neighborhoods
that
currently
have
excess
demand
compared
to
the
capacity
in
their
neighborhoods.
It.

Resource
Center
a
little
bit
a
couple
years
ago.
They
kind
of
switched
the
way
they
did
that
operation
that
was
used
as
a
sort
of
distribution
center
and
and
we
we
change,
I,
think
this
predates
you.
We
changed
the
way
we
we
did
business
so,
instead
of
having
the
distribution
center,
we
were
relying
on
the
companies
to
deliver
directly
to
the
schools.
Have
we
seen
any?
Have
we
seen
any
any
positive
positive
savings?
From
from
that
that
you
know
of.
B
J
B
That
there
have
been
positives
for
that,
if
not
on
savings,
which
might
very
well
be
there.
Certainly
on
the
the
level
of
service,
the
fact
that
schools
now
getting
their
ships
their
shipments
directly
to
them.
That
is
absolutely
not
a
knock
on
our
facilities
team
who
previously
were
distributing
materials
to
our
schools,
but
it
does
mean
that
the
process
is
just
that
much
faster
yeah.
J
And
this
would
be
something
for
maybe
your
team
to
look
into
what
happened
with
all
those
people
that
were
there
I
think
some
of
them
got
laid
off
going
back
where
they
have
a
where
they
ever
brought
back
and
I.
Don't
need
that
answer
now,
just
to
get
a
sense
of
what
happened
to
people
that
were
in
that
that
were
in
the
Campbell
resource
and
staying
on
the
Campbell
resource.
J
How
much
of
that
building
is
is
being
utilized
right
now?
Is
there
a
plan
to
maybe
take
operations
out
of
the
air
or
with
the
glove
is
gone?
I'm
bringing
you
know
a
different
side
of
my
job
into
this
this
discussion.
So
is
there
any
talk
on
on
Campbell
resource
that
you're
really
able
to
elaborate
on.
B
What
I
can
tell
you
is,
as
we
have
with
other
city
departments,
we
have
a
very
strong
relationship
with
the
Boston
planning
and
development
agency
and
they
brought
these
sort
of
initial
plans
so
to
speak
for
Glover's
Corner
to
us
over
a
year
ago.
Knowing
that
the
Campbell
Resource
Center
is
a
Boston
Public,
Schools
property.
B
We
also
made
it
very,
very
clear
that
the
bus
yard
located
just
just
next
to
that-
just
southeast
of
that
is
also
of
a
critically
important
asset
within
Boston
Public
Schools,
albeit
one
that
we
lease
so
we're
continuing
to
work
in
lockstep
with
the
BPD
a
as
they
sort
of
build
the
neighborhood
plans
around
those
sites.
To
my
knowledge
right
now,
there
is
no
plans
per
se
that
would
disrupt
the
Campbell
Resource
Center
yeah.
That
will
stay
as
a
hub
for
operations
as
well
as
the
Dorchester
Welcome
Center.
J
B
Difficult
to
say
what
the
MBTA
s
contribution
is,
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
a
student
not
affiliated
at
all
with
any
of
our
obligations
under
Boston
Public
Schools,
could
purchase
an
m7
student
ass
yeah
for
$30
a
month
mm-hmm
over
the
last
few
years,
the
MBTA
has
charged
us
$29
a
month
so
giving
us
a
discount
on
that.
The
total
cost
for
the
school
district
this
year
is
about
5.7
million
dollars
for
roughly
20,000.
He
passes
for
students
in
seven
through
12,
who
are
eligible
for
those.
B
What
we
were
able
to
do
with
the
MBTA
is
knowing
that
we
were
facing
a
fare
increase
from
the
MBTA
we
had
begun
to
budget
for
6.2
million
dollars
for
the
roughly
20,000
t
passes
that
we
again
expected
to
have
in
the
1920s
school
year,
but
we
seized
the
opportunity
both
for
changing
leadership
at
MBTA,
as
well
as
the
groundswell
of
support
that
we've
had
built
around
this
issue
over
the
last
couple
years
and,
quite
frankly,
some
some
persistent
conversations
that
I
personally
been
involved.
In
with
the
MBTA.
B
We
were
able
to
negotiate
with
them
a
better
rate
through
collaboration
with
the
mayor's
office,
as
well
as
MBTA
leadership
for
a
flat
rate
going
forward
of
6.7
million
dollars,
so
we're
no
longer
paying
a
per
pass
price
of
$29
or
$31
or
whatever.
It's
just
six
point:
seven
across
the
board.
That
then
will
cover
us
for
roughly
30,000
passes
or,
however
many
we
need
to
serve
the
needs
of
the
7
through
12
students
across
bps,
but
also
Charter
and
private
schools.
Due
to
our
state
law
obligations.
There.
J
M
I'm
gonna
follow
up
on
councillor
Baker's
line
of
questioning
and
I
will
start
by
saying
tremendously
grateful
for
the
mayor's
leadership
and
all
of
you
on
this.
The
idea
of
having
free
m7
passes
for
all
students
is,
is
remarkable
and
just
to
be
clear.
That's
just
for
the
school
year
September
through
June
right
there
is
it
for
the
calendar
year.
I
apologize,
that's,
okay!
No,
no!
No
I
wasn't
giving
you
a
compliment,
say
you
don't
listen
to
them.
Thanking
you
for
your
great
work
on
the
m7s
is
that
is
that
September
through
June?
Yes,.
M
C
I
M
B
C
M
Thousand
five
hundred
thirty
five,
you
said
okay,
so
it's
not
I'm,
not
a
majority
but
close
to
it
a
little
less
than
that
again.
Yeah.
Okay
and
you
can
help
me
with
a
constituent
service
question.
I
have
a
constituent
whose
parent
works
for
the
town
of
Brookline
and
therefore
they
get
to
go
to
Brookline
schools
they're
in
high
school
will
they
have
access
to
an
m7
or
no?
No.
M
So
just
be
four
so
so,
and
Medeco
student
similarly
wouldn't
have
their
so
so
you
have
to
go
to
school
within
the
city
of
boston
to
get
it
yes,
interesting,
okay,
I'm,
looking
at
slide
or
page
20
of
your
volume
of
service,
where
it
shows
the
decrease
in
bps,
from
students
transported
by
school
type,
FY
15
to
FY,
19,
25,000,
18,000
I,
assume
that
decrease
a
small
part
of
it
is
the
decline
in
student
population.
But
probably
the
larger
issue
is
no
longer
offering
bus
service
to
7th
and
8th
graders.
Is
that
correct
that.
M
B
M
That's
great,
and
then
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about.
You
know
the
on
page
22.
Now
it
shows
the
per
pupil
spending
so
there's
one
student,
who
is
a
door-to-door
private,
parochial
to
the
cost
about
thirteen
thousand,
which
is
what
he
or
she
they're.
What
we're
paying
for
that
student
cuz,
the
only
one,
whereas
the
private
special
ed
door-to-door,
is
two
hundred
and
two
students,
and
it's
significantly
more
it's
more
than
double
that
I
know.
That's
the
average
and
I
know
some
students
obviously
require
a
lot
more
expensive
services.
B
M
So
it's
likely
the
private
parochial
door-to-door
is
in
the
city
confines,
and
then
the
transportation
was
reused.
Okay,
that
makes
sense
and
then
again
efforts
to
sort
of
there's.
Obviously,
a
big
difference
between
door-to-door
price
per
average
price
per
pupil
and
corner
pickup
and
I
know
that
we've
heard
from
many
folks
many
parents
whose
children
are
being
picked
up
door-to-door,
who
actually
would
benefit
or
would
opt
into
if
they
were
able
to
do
so
on
a
sort
of
corner
pickup.
M
C
M
M
I
would
venture
guess
that
many
not
all,
but
many
parents
would
welcome.
That,
is
you
know,
as
an
alumnus
of
Boston
Public
Schools
waiting
at
the
bus.
Stop
with
friends
was
a
great
sort
of
social
aspect
of
the
school
day.
So
I
think
that
this
is
a
really
good
step.
You
guys
are
doing
and
encourage
you
to
continue
to
grow,
that
the
accommodated
corner
pickup
as
opposed
to
door-to-door,
so
Thank
You.
Mr.
chairman,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Cultural
sabe.
F
You
chair,
so
I
just
want
to
continue
a
few
of
my
questions
from
the
food
service
piece.
We
talked
I
know
that
we're
running
sorry,
Lori
I
know
that
we're
running
a
deficit
and
we're
this
is
a
budget
hearing.
I
want
understand
what
are
the
moves
that
we
can
make
to
recapture
some
of
those
lost
funds?
Is
it
all
based
on
some
of
the
federal
reimbursement
that
far
yeah.
D
A
lot
of
it
so
every
meal
we
we
serve
as
every
meal
that
we're
able
to
that.
We
claim
that
we
can
be
able
to
submit
to
the
to
the
government
to
be
able
to
get
a
reimbursement
back
so,
but
that
doesn't
name
does
not
include
meals
that
we
may
have
served
or
prepared,
which
you
know.
We
use
labor
for
all
that
and
then
food
that
we
provide
that
it
goes
to
a
waste.
So
we
are.
D
D
However,
in
our
contract,
for
with
our
with
our
ask
me
team,
we
do
have
meals
per
labor
hour
which
we're
looking
to
implement
for
next
year,
and
we
can
do
it
twice
a
year.
So
those
are
the
things
that
we
look
at
and
we
focus
to
making
sure
that
we
can
be
able
to
capture
that
for
our
budget
for
FY
21
at
a
lot
of
different
things
we
are
taking
into
consideration,
increases
in
my
way
cafe
a
meal
served.
D
We
are
also
looking
at
as
we're
focusing
on
after
the
after
the
bell
programs
how
we
can
increase
participation,
but
also
some
of
the
things
that
we
really
truly
focus
on
our
our
cost
of
food,
to
making
sure
that
we
can
be
still
be
able
to
have
again
high
quality.
They
meet
our
standard
meals,
but
then
also
that
minimize
the
impact
of
the
budget.
We
are
also
looking.
We
do
have
a
great
partner
with
the
Shah
Family
Foundation,
that's
helping
us
be
able
to
cover.
D
Some
of
you
know
cost
that
we
looking
as
we're
transforming,
but
still
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
everything
we
can
that
we
are
focusing
on
it,
but
in
even
in
an
urban
city
district
and
as
a
setting
that
we
have
the
reimbursement
that
we
receive
is
the
same
across
across
the
country.
So
our
cost
of
living
is
clearly
higher,
but
our
reimbursement
doesn't
change
the
same.
So
we
have
to.
We
try
to
do
a
lot
with
the
little
that
we
did
get
around.
F
D
I
do
see
it.
We
are
as
Boston
as
part
of
the
urban
school
food
Alliance,
so
we
do
work
with
about
eight
other
large
school
districts,
including
Philadelphia,
Dallas,
Los,
Angeles,
New,
York
Miami,
and
when
we're
seeing,
though
they
see
those
same
challenges
as
well,
when
I
was
in
Los
Angeles,
we
did
have
a
very,
very
big
deficit,
but
a
part
of
that
is
because
of
the
the
labor
costs
that
we
did
have
and
not
enough
meals
were
coming
through
so
part
of
it.
D
As
we
look,
we
do
everything
we
can
to
create
access
for
our
programs,
because
the
goal
is
that
the
more
meals
you
serve,
the
more
the
bigger
your
budget
gets.
But
there
are
a
lot
of
variables
that
do
prevent
us
from
being
able
to
to
be
able
to
be
as
successful
as
we
want
to
be
to
be
when
you
have
20
minutes
tip
for
children
to
eat
or
if
there,
if
there
isn't
necessarily
a
big
culture
of
having
breakfast
after
the
bell
those
kinds
of
things.
D
F
I
think
identifying
the
20
minutes
to
is.
It
is
a
real
problems.
I
know
my
own
boys.
Don't
typically
get
lunch
because
they
don't
they
want
to
spend
the
time
chit-chatting
with
their
friends
and
not
just
waiting
in
line,
but
for
food
that
they're
not
gonna
have
time
to
eat.
Then
it
gets
it's
a
real
challenge
across
the
district,
as
well
as
the
timing
of
lunch
across
the
district
right
number
of
our
schools.
Because
of
some
scheduling
constraints
have
lunch.
Is
that
my
four
not
ideal?
D
D
We
would
have
probably
we
won't
capture
all
of
all
of
the
satellite
schools
that
going
into
a
conversion
so
may
have
to
go
into
another
RFP
and
it's
an
opportunity
for
anyone
to
go
in
and
be
able
to
say
they
can
provide
us
a
high-quality,
clean
label
product
to
be
able
to
serve
to
children
in
the
interim
as
we
as
we
switch
over
into
a
by
Boston
for
Boston
product
program,
I.
Think
for
for
us
to
be
able
to
renegotiate
it's
very,
very,
limiting
and
probably
non-existent.
D
I
would
say,
but
I
can't
say,
with
the
new
process
that
we're
looking
at
with
family-style
meals
that
we
actually
launched
at
the
at
the
Blackstone
elementary.
That
cost
per
meal
is
actually
about
it's
seven
cents
lower
than
what
we're
currently
pay.
So
we're
looking
at
those
options
to
be
able
to
increase
right.
The.
A
F
D
So
the
my
way,
Cafe
the
program
in
itself,
is
an
operation
run
by
food
services
and
covered
by
food
services
costs.
The
Foundation
has
contributed
the
equipment
in
the
in
the
schools
and
is
also
contributed
funding
for
a
trainer
and
a
director
to
run
the
program,
and
if
there
are
opportunities,
small
wares
things
like
that
here
and
there
that
they
have
an
opportunity
available
to
help
us
with
they
do.
D
They
are
very,
very
generous
and
opportunities
to
make
sure
that
if
there's
transformational
costs
that
they
be
willing
to
cover,
but
what
we
also
want
to
make
sure
as
a
department
that
we
don't
want
to
be
able
to
take
on
more.
You
know,
transformational
costs
that
we
can't
afford,
because
we
can't
expect
that
the
foundation
is
going
to
be
able
to
sustain
these
processes
for
us.
So,
but
they
are,
they
are
they're
willing
to
work
with
us
and
help
us
with
all
we
need-
and
they
do
have.
D
Not
not
here
I,
when
I
was
in
Los.
Angeles
I
was
one
of
the
key
things
we
did
as
we
looked
at
as
we
were
rolling
out
breakfast
in
the
classroom
that
we
could
see
some
slight
changes
when
we,
when
the
school
went
from
a
regular
breakfast
program
into
in
the
classroom
that
we
had
saw,
increases
in
attendance,
but
I
haven't
been
able
to
explore
that
I'm
more
than
happy
to
be
able
to
talk
to
oh
I,
I
T
and
some
of
the
other
people
see
how
we
can
be
able
to
maybe
get
some
commute.
F
I
mean
if
we
see
a
positive
correlation
between
the
two
and
and
maybe
in
Los
Angeles.
There
was
a
direct
relationship
between
the
two
data
points
that
would
be
something
worth
looking
at,
so
I'm
gonna
switch
over
to
transportation.
I
have
a
few
questions
again,
because
we
had
a
longer
and
more
thorough
hearing
a
few
months
ago
and
I
think
one
of
my
colleagues
asked
a
little
bit
about
safe
routes
to
school.
Already.
B
While
Adele's
looking
at
her
notes,
I'll
tell
you
that
yesterday
was
one
of
our
walk
to
school
days
here
in
Boston.
So
we
have
a
number
of
schools
that
participate
in
those
safe
routes
to
Schools
program,
albeit
it's
its
minority
of
schools,
we're
still
looking
to
grow
that
in
the
early
basis
and
I
believe
Dell
could
probably
speak
to
that
a
little
bit
more
detail
as
well
as
the
grant
that
we're
trying
to
acquire.
F
And
while
Peters
coming
down,
he
may
also
be
able
to
answer
some
of
these
questions
or
you
can
what's
the
connection
between
MBTA
and
better
bus
routes
and
your
work
on
the
transportation
department?
Is
there
any
sort
of
relationship
or
direct
line
of
communication
and
then
the
direct,
the
dedicated
bus
lanes
that
we
have
piloted
and
moved
towards
as
a
city
and
look
continuing
to
look
to
grow?
Are
you
involved
in
at
all
on
that
because
it
does
help
our
transportation
department?
Is
that
all
Peter
yeah.
O
Addressing
good
afternoon,
let
me
address
the
MBTA
piece.
The
better
bus
route
program
does
not
include
the
S
bus
service
that
the
T
operates
on
school
days
on
school
days.
They
operate
about
200,
additional
buses
that
increase
capacity
to
accommodate
the
students
run
school
days
only
so
those
are
not
impacted
by
the
better
bus
routes.
We
are
working
with
the
MBTA
BTD
B
PDA
and
the
new
BTD
transit
team
on
bus
lanes.
O
We
have
one
opening
in
June
and
another
one
in
the
fall
and
that
we're
working
on
now
studying
in
terms
of
volume
and
the
impact
it
would
have
positively
for
our
service
with
safe
routes
to
school.
That's
a
combined
effort
with
beep-beep
EDA
took
the
lead
on
the
grant
writing
with
BTD
bps
and
bps
d-o-t
to
identify
specific
areas
where
we
could
install
a
number
of
different
types
of
traffic.
O
Calming
devices
make
improvements
to
crosswalks
bump
out
corners
and
general
traffic
calming
and
the
grand
focused
on
that
corridor
that
went
from
Siva
or
Columbus
at
walnut
down
past
the
David
Ellis
school.
As
far
as
the
Trotter,
where
we
have
densely
dense
neighborhoods
with
a
number
of
kids,
walk
and
as
ways
has
become
more
popular
as
an
apt
for
our
out-of-towners,
those
streets
have
seen
a
lot
more
traffic
than
they
had
in
the
past.
O
That's
correct:
is
it
where
we
are
delighted
to
have
a
unique
situation
where
the
bus
lanes
are
shared
between
the
MBTA
and
bps
and
we
will
have
bus
lane
is
opening
in
Brighton
shortly
from
about
where
the
Jackson
Mann
School
is
as
far
as
packaged
corner?
That's
not.
We
do
not
have
a
lot
of
buses
that
travel
in
that
direction
at
that
time
right
now,
but
when
the
Mass
Pike
work
commences,
that'll
be
an
important
part
of
making
delivering
one-time
service
as
part
of
the
North
Washington
Street
Bridge
project.
O
As
we
transition
to
the
temporary
structure
in
the
fall,
there
will
be
a
bus
lane,
inbound
from
causeway
Street
to
hay
market
for
bps
and
MBTA
buses,
and
there
are
a
couple
of
others
that
we're
looking
at
volume
and
number
of
buses
throughout
the
city.
So
it's
a
thing
to
come
and
save
two
or
three
minutes
five
minutes,
but
it
also
increases
traffic,
the
flow
of
regular
traffic
in
an
isolate
students
and
buses
from
general
traffic
and
for
the
tea
passengers,
they're
also
isolated
from
general
traffic
on
the
curb
right.
Well,.
F
O
F
B
F
A
D
D
A
No,
that's,
okay
and,
and
you
know,
I'm
just
thinking
back,
you
know.
Historically,
food
services
is
always
running
a
deficit
and
pretty
substantial
one
at
that,
and
but
you
know,
I'm
really
encouraged
by
all
the
great
work
with
the
fresh
food
initiative.
The
my
way,
Cafe
initiative
can't
wait
for
it
to
come
to
my
district
in
21
dozen
20.
B
A
And
just
one
last
thing:
I'm,
you
know
looking
at
the
declare
well,
so
these
revenue
numbers
aren't
really
actual
on
this
right
now
for
FY,
17,
18
19,
let's
say
well,
19,
probably
not
that
we're
not
through
19
yet
but
17
and
18
the
revenue
which
is
in
the
form
of
a
reimbursement.
I
would
imagine
so.
