A
It's
part
of
the
city
council's
budget
review
process
which
encompasses
about
35
public
hearings
and
working
sessions,
and
the
working
sessions
are
counselors
only
and
they're
an
opportunity
to
get
questions
on
the
record
in
advance
of
our
hearings
with
the
department.
So
the
departments
can
come
prepared
to
answer
those
questions.
For
us.
A
The
hearings
are
sort
of
held
department
by
department
and
we
invite
public
testimony
at
all
of
them,
so
we
hope

get

You

a
hearing
directly
and
you
can
find
the
whole
calendar
at
boston.gov
council
dash
budget
and
and
share
your
testimony

of
its
hearing.
You
can
also
come

one
of
our
two
remaining
hearings
that
are
dedicated
to
public

so
on
may
25th
at
6

we'll
have
one
focused
on

A
You

the

including

docket

five:

order
authorizing

for
the

revolving
fund
for
fy22;
that's
the
full
set
of
dockets
for
the
budget,
plus
a
bcyf
revolving
fund,
but
our
focus
area
today
in
this
working
session
is
going
to
be
bps
commitment,
one
which
is
eliminate
opportunity,
achievement
gaps.
A
Basically,
we've
organized
our
hearings
with
bps
at
their
request,
according
to
their
strategic
plan,
and
so
the
types
of
topics
we'll
be
covering
in
our
pair
of
hearings
with
them
next
tuesday
on
opportunity.
Achievement
gaps
include
the
opportunity
and
achievement
gap,
policy,
alignment,
implementation
and
progress,
workforce
diversity,
curriculum
bias,
review
code
of
conduct,
implementation,
disproportionality,
social
and
emotional
learning
and
wellness
family
liaisons
social
workers.
Both
of
those
are
proposed
to
have
significant
increases
in
those
workforces.
A
This
year,
school
psychologists,
nurses,
trauma
and
crisis
response,
behavioral
and
mental
health
supports
and
hearn
for
our
homeless
students
and
then
inclusion.
The
second
part
we'll
be
talking
about
specialized
academic
support,
so
that's
inclusion,
sped
and
sped
transitions,
ell
and
bilingual
education
plan
tutoring,
vacation
and
summer
programming.
So
that's
what
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
with
bps
next
week.
A
This
is
the
opportunity
to
put
questions
about
that
on
the
record
and
then,
additionally,
we're
also
putting
questions
on
the
record
for
boston
centers
for
youth
and
families
about
their
department
and
their
revolving
fund,
and
then
youth
engagement
and
employment
y
ee,
which
runs
the
summer
success
link
program
and
also
the
year-round
jobs
program,
so
mostly
a
youth-focused
working
session
today
in
preparation
for
those
hearings
next
week.
A
So
I
think
what
I,
what
I
want
to
do.
First,
is
counselor
braden
I'll
offer
you
the
chance.
If
you
have
questions
that
you
want
to
jump
in
with
now,
I
think
we'll
probably
do
bps
and
then
bcyf
and
ye
just
so
we
can
kind
of
keep
them
organized,
but
I've
also
got
some
that
I
can
jump
in
with
if
you,
if
you
want
a
minute,
either
way:
you're,
muted,
counselor
brain.
A
B
A
Okay,
all
right
all
right
I'll
put
some
questions
for
bps
on
the
record.
So
what
is
it
just
about
whether
retention
for
teachers
of
color
has
increased?
That's
something
that
we
talked
about
quite
a
lot
workforce
diversity
and
again
not
just
how
to
hire
a
diverse
teaching
and
workforce,
but
then
how
to
retain
them.
So
you
know
we're
curious
about
exit
interviews.
A
I
think
that
we
definitely
want
to
talk
about
the
so
the
special
education
budget,
it's
about
305
million
in
fy
22,
which
is
an
increase
of
about
12
million
or
4.1
percent
from
the
fy
21
adopted
budget.
So
just
would
love
to
understand
where
the
obviously,
when
we
see
an
increase,
you
know
some
of
it
is
just
kind
of
normal
cost
increases,
and
then
some
of
it
is
sort
of
new
stuff.
So
it'd
be
great
to
understand.
A
What's
new,
and
specifically,
I
think
bps
is
planning
to
dedicate
five
million
of
the
esser
funds,
which
sr2
funds,
which
are
part
of
the
federal
money
for
bps,
for
interventions
with
disabilities
that
address
the
impact
of
kova
19
on
on
their
learning
and
well-being.
So
just
would
love
to
understand
that
as
we're
talking
about
special
ed,
what
that
looks
like
is
the
other
6.9
million
all
permanent
funding,
or
is
that
also
federal
funding
and
again?
A
Is
that
real
increases,
or
or
or
just
kind
of
cost
increases,
and
and
also
just
to
know
a
bit
about
what?
Because,
obviously
in
planning
how
to
spend
five
million
dollars
to
additional
to
better
support
our
students
with
disabilities?
Bps
has
to
have
some
sense
of
what
the
particular
challenges
have
been
coming
out
of
the
year
of
covet,
and
I
think
we've
all
heard
loud
and
clear
from
lots
of
parents
that
that
the
year
of
remote
learning
has
not
worked
well
for
many
students
with
disabilities.
A
But
I
think
we'd
love
to
learn
more
from
the
district,
about
kind
of
what
their
plan
is
to
be
proactive
as
we
go
into
the
year
ahead
and
then
curio.
This
is
a
question
that
other
colleagues
have
asked
before,
but
sort
of
understanding
how
many
students
with
ieps
are
in
private
placements
that
bps
supports
and
sort
of
what
our
route
is
towards
supporting
more
of
those
in
bps
and
and
similarly
for
the
high
needs.
A
A
A
There's
also
2.25
million
in
srt
funds
that
are
dedicated
interventions
for
ell
students
in
fy
22
would
love
to
understand
what
those
are,
how
many
students
they're
going
to
support
and-
and
then
I
think,
the
big
question
overall-
and
I
stressed
this
with
bps
at
our
last
hearing,
but
it
really
is
like
how
are
they
gonna
use
the
arp
funds?
A
How
are
they
gonna
use
them
in
ways
that
sort
of
wrap
around
our
students
with
support,
but
don't
create
huge
cliff
effects
and
staffing,
because,
obviously
we
can't
count
on
this
money
four
years
down
the
road
and
then
also
with
kind
of
you
know.
How
are
they
thinking
about
their
student
supports
and
then
there's
also
sort
of
one-time
things
like
major
facility
investments
that
in
some
ways
that
one-time
funding
is
well
suited
to
and
just
while
they're
forming
a
stakeholder
group
and
doing
lots
of
meetings?
A
I
think
the
council
does
need
more
kind
of
of
their
sketched
thoughts,
at
least
about
proportions
around
that
arp
funding.
So,
and
it
seems
like
a
bunch
of
the
students
who
were
talking
about
today.
You
know
and
a
bunch
of
the
topics,
mental
health
and
and
homelessness,
and
and
just
a
lot
of
the
ell
and
special
education
students
who
have
been
most
disproportionately
impacted
by
sort
of
the
realities
of
pandemic
school.
A
I
think
we
really
want
to
understand
how
the
federal
funding
at
a
at
a
overall
level
is
interacting
with
their
needs
in
the
year
ahead.
So
that's
a
handful
of
first-round
bps
questions
from
me.
I
we've
also
been
joined
or
we
were
joined.
A
B
Similar
themes
to
what
you
I
I
I
have
had
been
contacted
by
constituents
about
special
education,
related
services
for
children
with
special
needs
in
parochial
or
jewish
day
schools.
B
It
seems
like-
and
my
understanding
is-
that
there's
that
there's
federal
fund,
that
this
funding
comes
from
several
buckets,
that
this
is
federal
funding
and
state
and
city
funding,
and
that
state
and
city
funding
doesn't
allow
those
services
to
be
to
be
provided
in
in
the
school,
the
parochial
school
of
the
jewish
school,
but
that
federal
funding
does
have
some
more
flexibility.
B
So
I'd
like
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
that,
and
then
you
know
in
terms
of
support
services
for
hearing
impaired
children
in
a
broke,
and
what
do
you
call
what's
the
best
term
for
those
they're
schools
that
are
outside
the
bps?
In
terms
of
you
know,
funding
for
specialized
services?
How
much
is
assigned
how
many
students
are
in
in
involved
with
this
and
do
they
have
enrolled
needing
additional
services?
And
how
is
it?
B
How
is
it
administered
that
was
one
of
the
big
ones
with
regard
to
special
education?
That's
yeah!
That's
that's
the
big
one.
For
now
is
there
anyone
else
to
ask
questions.
A
No,
but
I've
got
I've
got
some
more
on
my
own,
so
I'll
just
and
I've
got
a
bunch.
I
need
to
read
into
the
record
yeah.
I
think
you
know.
A
One
of
the
topics
for
this
set
is
curriculum
bias
review
and
I
think
we'd
love
to
get
an
update
on
that,
but
also
you
know
I
I
feel
like
the
sort
of
inverse
of
that
is
equally
or
even
more
important,
which
is
the
kind
of
like
curriculum
inclusiveness
review
like
how
do
we
not
just
make
sure
that
our
curriculum
isn't
biased,
but
that
it's
like
really
something
that
we
feel
like
is
kind
of
introducing
students
to
you
know
a
full
picture
of
history
is
making
them
feel
like
they're
part
of
the
story
of
boston
and
and
beyond,
and
so
would
love
to
hear
a
bit
about
that,
and
then
I
think
you
know
disproportionality
and
discipline
is
something
is
really
an
area
that
we're
all
pretty
concerned
about.
A
There's
you
know
been
a
lot
of
discussion
lately
about
the
mckinley
schools,
two
of
the
three
of
which
are
in
my
district
and
kind
of
how
how
we
make
sure
that
our
schools
that
are
targeted
at
at
behavioral
health
really
do
that
and
are
not
just
kind
of
a
funnel
into
a
school-to-prison
pipeline.
A
A
What
we
gather
on
that
front,
how
we
track
that
would
be
great
and
then
obviously
this
is
going
to
be
the
hearing
where
we
hear
in
detail
about
the
family,
liaisons
and
social
workers
that
are
being
added,
and
so
I've.
I've
put
a
few
of
these
questions
on
the
record
with
them
already,
but
just
understanding
if
you're
the
one
social
worker
in
a
school
sort
of
what
does
the
support
system
look
like?
A
How
are
we
making
sure
that
we're
going
to
retain
these
folks
that
they
have
a
clear
sense
of
their
role,
good
professional
development
and
support
same
thing
with
the
family
liaisons?
You
know
those
are
kind
of
entrepreneurial
roles.
You
have
to
be
reaching
out
to
all
these
families
and
they
can
be
amazing,
but
just
making
sure
that
these
folks
are
gonna
have
enough
direction
and
support
be
important,
and
I
think
counselor
savvy
george
is
sending
over
some
questions.
A
I
don't
have
yet
on
inclusion,
but
definitely
you
know
we
had
several
dedicated
hearings
on
it
last
year.
I
feel
like
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
you
know
have
been
maybe
difficult
to
implement
like
in
terms
of
inclusion
roadmap.
A
I
think
because
in
certain
ways
probably
been
blocked
by
the
the
code
19
year,
but
it
would
be
great
to
understand
where
we
are
on
that,
because
we're
all
trying
to
get
to
a
more
a
more
coherent
system
of
inclusion
in
the
district
yeah,
and
then
we
did
have
a
hearing
in
the
council
dedicated
hearing
a
few
weeks
ago
about
the
summer
programming,
but
it
was
at
the
point
of
them.
A
Just
being
about
to
launch
it
kind
of
out
to
the
public,
so
would
love
to
get
an
update
on
where
we
are,
how
many
spots
we
foresee,
having
and
all
the
different
options
and
what
we're
doing
to
get
those
options
out
to
all
of
our
young
people,
because
I
think
we
want
to
have
a
really
really
robust
summer
and
just
again
trying
to
understand
on
the
arp
and
sr
federal
funds
that
are
going
to
be
spent
in
fy
22.
A
Presumably
some
of
them
are
going
to
be
spent
on
the
summer,
so
june
july
august,
mainly
july
august.
Obviously
we
need
to
know
you
know
at
this
stage
sort
of
what
that's
looking
like
in
order
for
those
funds
to
be
spent.
So
I
would
love
some
more
clarity
on
that
and
also
related
to
a
question
that
counselor.
A
He
had
asked
what
the
four-year
graduation
rate
and
dropout
rate
for
our
students
with
disabilities
behavioral
health
issues
and
our
low-income
students
is
sort
of
how
how
those
different
demographics
and
sub-populations
how
graduation
rates
there
compare
to
the
rates
for
the
student
body
as
as
a
whole
yeah.
And
then
I'm
gonna
switch
over
to
bcyf.
If
that's
okay
with
you
counselor
brain.
A
The
there's
a
couple
of
external
funds,
double
up
food
box
and
boston,
eats
with
children's
hospital
that
are
going
to
zero,
just
understanding
what
that
means
are
those
programs
sun
setting?
Have
they
been
moved
somewhere
else
kind
of
just
knowing
a
bit
about
that,
since
we
do
get
significant
external
funding
for
some
of
the
bcyf
stuff,
understanding
kind
of
specific
role
of
additional
new
employees.
A
The
contracted
services
are
increased
due
to
the
summer.
Programming
just
would
love
to
understand,
besides
transportation
sort
of
what
the
main
contracts
there
are,
and
and
also
the
large
increase
to
the
repair
and
service
to
equipment
line
item
just
a
bit
of
a
check
in
on.
We
had
you
know
a
move
of
some
programming
out
of
bcyf
and
into
hhs
last
year
and
trying
to
understand
sort
of
how
what
operational
differences
that
has
involved
and
whether
it's
working
and
what
needs
to
be
ironed
out
and.
A
Let
me
see
for
most
of
bcyf's
performance
measures.
The
goal
for
fy
22
is
to
meet
fy19
performances,
but
the
number
of
teen
visits
is
much
below
the
line.
The
fy
19
number
so
just
wondering
why
that
was
and.
A
And
then
just
there
is
some
there's,
some
funding
being
put
into
developing
kind
of
anchored
gender,
specific
programs
at
seven
bcyf
sites
for
sort
of
girl,
girls,
time
only
programming
citywide
to
help
support
the
efforts
to
close
the
gender
gap
and
just
want
to
understand
sort
of
details
on
that
making
sure
that
it's
inclusive
of
trans
and
non-binary
youth
and
just
hear
a
bit
more
about
that
initiative
also
be
great
to
understand
the
new
data
system
bcyf's
implemented
how
it's
gonna,
let
them
monitor
and
adjust
programming
and
then,
just
if
you
could
talk
this
this
effort
to
make
bcyf
free,
I
think
we're
all
very
excited
about
just
what
the
actual
nuts
and
bolts
of
that
is.
A
A
What's
our
if
they
could
talk
a
bit
about
steam
based
programming,
that
would
be
awesome.
I
know
we
talked
a
bit
about
growing
that
in
the
past
and
then
whether
you
know
what
kind
of
what
potential
federal,
arp
funding
type
uses
bcyf
could
foresee
hoping
for.
A
You
know
anything
that
isn't
already
in
this
budget
and
then,
if
we
could
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
native
american
and
indigenous
youth
and
sort
of
what
bcyf's
outreach
to
that
community
has
been
and
and
whether
and
what
the
sort
of
possibility
for
for
youth
in
that
community,
for
whom
boston's
a
hub.
A
But
who
who
may
come
from
you
know
all
bordering
places
to
boston
like
to
be
involved
in
bc,
live
stuff,
whether
that's
a
possibility
or
not,
because
one
of
the
things
we've
heard
recently
is
that
that
that
community
is
hubbed
in
boston,
but
it
is
sort
of
dispersed
and
and
it
can
be
a
limitation
to
forgetting
support
for
their
youth.
So
just
want
to
talk
about
that
all
right,
counselor
braden,
bcyf
questions.
A
Yes,
I
I
I'm
voting
and
counselor
brandon
before
you
go.
I
just
want
to
note:
we've
been
joined
by
councillor
flynn
and
councillor
flaherty,
hi,
ed,
hi,
michael
so
I'll.
Let
I'll
let
liz
go
and
then
we're
on
we're
on
questions
for
bcyf.
A
B
Number
one:
the
the
jackson
man
community
center
is
the
only
bcyf
center
in
our
district.
It
is
going
to
be
closed
next
july
july
22.
B
We
are
very
concerned
that
we
there's
no
sense
of
urgency
about
how
we
make
plans
for
accommodating
the
services
that
are
there.
It
is
a
voting
place
for
five
precincts.
It's
an
emergency
center
is
lots
of
lots
of
different
functions,
and
I
really
would
like
to
see
a
clear
plan
for
what's
going
to
happen
in
july.
We
can't
leave
it
to
july
to
figure
this
out.
B
We
need
to
start
doing
it
now
and
have
a
really
robust
community
conversation
about
relocating
it
for
the
short
term
and
then
what
a
new
center
looks
like
the
other
issue
I
have
is
we
have.
We
have
two
commonwealth
housing
at
fidelis
way
and
faneuil
gardens
housing.
B
Our
youth
over
there
they
haven't
had
youth
workers
for
many
years
and
covid
has
exacerbated
a
situation
where
our
youth
are
getting
into
trouble,
and
I
would
really
like
to
see
if
bcyf
could
there's
one
there's
one
youth
worker
position
at
the
jackson,
man
that
is
open
and
is
not
all
vacant
at
the
moment.
B
I'd
like
to
see
if
we
can
really
restore
youth
worker
services
to
these
two
facilities
and
make
sure
that
that
they're
on
site
at
the
locations
and
working
with
the
youth
in
in
their
in
their
natural
environment,
so
that
we
can
sort
of
avert
these
young
young
people
getting
into
trouble
and
ending
up
in
the
juvenile
justice
system
if
we
can
avoid
it.
So
this
is
really
a
critically
important
issue
and
it's
very
very.
B
We
want
action
and
the
those
are
the
two
big
issues:
the
plans
for
the
for
this
youth
set
for
the
bcyf
center
and
then
the
youth
workers
for
commonwealth
housing
and
fidelis
way
for
dallas
way
and
samuel
gardens.
Those
two
thank
you.
B
Oh,
I
did
say
in
the
in
the
budget
that
there
in
in
20
2020
there
was
a
an
appropriation
for
youth
at
risk.
There
was
33
284
dollars
in
the
budget
and
that
there
hasn't
been
any
money
for
youth
at
risk
in
in
in
these
past,
this
budget
coming
and
past
budget.
How
do
we
define
youth
at
risk
and
and
how
are
allocations
made
to
at
this
target
population?
A
Great
thanks
so
much
councillor,
braden,
yeah
and
I'll.
Just
add
that
I
I've
had
some
great
conversation
with
soar
and
the
folks
there
I'm
particularly
interested
in
how
they
partnered
with
dnd,
but
I
think
they
moved
out
from
underbeast
uif
to
hhs,
but
just
but
definitely
want
an
update
on
on
kind
of
the
the
soar.
Youth,
housing,
youth,
employment
nexus.
A
There,
because
I
think
you
know
they're
working
on,
obviously
helping
folks
who
might
otherwise
get
sucked
into
violence,
find
alternatives
and
one
of
the
chicken
and
egg
things
that
happen
sometimes
is
somebody
somebody
can
get
a
job
if
they've
got
a
stable
place
to
stay,
but
then
they
can't
make
first
and
last
because
they
don't
have
a
job
yet,
and
so
you,
you
know,
I
think,
finding
ways
as
a
city
to
overcome.
A
That's
pretty
important
for
getting
our
our
young
people
on
a
path
into
solid
employment,
all
right,
councillor
flynn,
anything
on
bcyf,
and
then
we
did
we
did
do.
We
ran
through
through
some
initial
questions
for
the
bps
topics
for
next
week.
So
I
can
refresh
let's
do
bcyf
now
and
then
I
can
refresh
what
those
are.
If
you
have
any
questions
on
those,
but.
C
Well,
thank
you.
Council
bark
appreciate
your
strong
leadership
on
this.
On
these
issues.
Yeah
on
on
bcyf,
the
quincy
community
center,
there
was
250,
000
dollars
allocated
authorized
to
replace
auditorium
seating
and
the
status
is
listed
as
to
be
scheduled.
C
So
I'd
like
an
update
about
when,
when
that
is
going
to
happen,
that's
important.
I'd
also
like
to
get
an
update
on
some
of
the
renovation
plans.
Bcyf
has
scheduled
for
the
blackstone
as
well.
C
I
know
that
that
building
is
needs
needs
some
repairs
and
it's
critical
that
we
provide
some
upgrades
to
to
the
blackstone
and
I'm
also
interested
in
the
programming
aspect
as
well
bcyf.
C
C
You
know
tutoring
programs,
athletic
programs,
but
what
specifically,
are
we
doing
this
summer
to
engage
our
young
children,
young
adults
into
sports
and
to
after
school
summer
programs
reading
programs,
technology
programs?
So
I
would
like
to
get
a
more
of
an
update
on
that.
C
That's
all
I
have
madam
chair
on
bcyf,
but
I
did
have
a
couple
issues
on
bps.
Is
this
the
time
for
me
to
weigh
in
yeah.
A
Yeah,
why
don't
you
jump
in
with
the
bps
issues
too
and
then
and
then
I'll
go
to
councillor
flaherty,
so
councillor
flaherty?
If
you
want
to
be
ready
as
well
with
bcyf
and
bps,
and
then
once
we've
done
that
the
last
thing
we
haven't
done
yet
is:
is
yee
the
youth
employment
stuff
for
the
summer
so
go
ahead.
Counselor
flynn,
with
vps.
C
C
The
other
issue
I
had
as
it
relates
to
bps
what
is
the
plan
in
fy
22
to
improve
on
translation
interpretation
services
for
students
and
families
who
speak
the
language
other
than
english?
This
is
an
issue.
I've
focused
on
a
lot.
I've
actually
had
several
conversations
with
bps
superintendent
as
well
and
she's
been
responsive
to
my
requests
in
is
working
with
me
on
this.
C
So
I
want
to
acknowledge,
acknowledge
her
partnership,
but
I
always
think,
there's
more
that
we
can
be
doing
for
our
immigrant
students
in
their
families,
because
not
only
do
we
need
to
educate
the
students
we
are.
We
also
have
to
provide
critical
services
to
families
as
well.
Maybe
maybe
it
might
be
continuing
the
food
access
program.
C
Maybe
it
might
be
helping
them,
get
child
care
issues
or
working
with
immigration,
whatever
the
issue
might
be,
this
wraparound
services
that
are
also
that
are
also
needed,
and
my
my
last
question
council
bark
is
that,
are
there
any
programs
or
funding
for
anti-bias
training
for
teachers
and
staff?
C
That
those
are
my
comments
councilwork
again,
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
to
speak
out
of
out
of
water
on
these.
A
No
thank
you
thanks.
So
much.
Those
are
great
questions.
Counselor
flynn,
counselor,
michael
flaherty,.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I'll,
pick
up
where
council
flynn
left
off,
obviously
with
respect
to
commitment
one.
You
know
we
need
to
need
to
see
someone
meet
on
the
bones
on
that
one.
So
I
know
that
bps
has
not
really
shared
all
the
materials
on
on
that.
So
I
really
want
to
stay
focused
there.
D
Obviously,
with
the
achievement
gap
in
the
wrap-around
support
services,
those
are
critical
to
getting
our
students
back
on
track,
particularly
as
we
come
out
of
the
pandemic
and
sort
of
the
you
know,
the
lost
you
know
hours
around
curriculum
and
study,
and
you
know
trying
to
make
sure
we
get
kids
back
to
their
grade
level,
but
it's
obviously
it's
a
lot
deeper
than
that.
It's
trauma
crisis
support.
It's
behavioral
mental
health
support.
It's
you
know
social
worker
and
psychology,
psychologists
and
nurses.
So
it's
the
full
court
press.
D
So
I
really
like
to
sort
of
see
more
specifics
from
bps
on
their
commitment,
one
and
then
just
shifting
gears
to
bcyf
really
more.
During
the
previous
administration,
the
menino
administration
oftentimes,
we
had
our
community
centers
that
they
weren't
necessarily
aligned
with
what
was
going
on
in
their
respective
communities.
We
literally
had
folks
working
in
community
centers
during
the
day
when
children
went
school
and
then,
when
the
school
bell
rings
and
the
kids
now
sort
of
head
to
the
community
center,
some
of
the
workers
were
going
home.
D
They
had
put
a
full
day
in
so
I
think
a
lot
of
solitaire
was
being
played
and
wasn't
a
lot
of
sort
of
what
we
sort
of
envisioned
from
our
our
youth
centers.
Clearly,
some
of
them
were
senior
centers
as
well.
D
So
I
I
just-
I
really
want
to
get
a
sense
in
terms
of
on
the
demographic
piece
of
that
is
which
of
our
community
spanners
are
supporting
our
seniors
and
what
are
their
hours
of
operation
and
are
they
appropriate
for
our
seniors
and
also,
you
know
our
youth,
which
senators
centers
are.
You
know,
sort
of
geared
and
catering
to
our
youth
and
are
they
those
operation
hours
consistent
with
the
hours
that
we
need
them?
What
what
good
is
it
if
a
community
center
is
is?
D
Is
closed
or
not
fully
functioning
or
doesn't
have
any
programming
when
we
need
it
the
most.
So
I
know
that
the
walsh
administration
went
to
great
lengths
to
sort
of
realign
that,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
commitment
is
still
there
that
I
know
it
was
a
work
in
progress.
We
had
folks
that
were
working
in
certain
community
centers
for
extended
periods
of
times,
and
it
was
a
complete
disruption
to
them
and
their
schedules,
etc.
D
So
it's
been
a
few
years
now,
so
I
really
would
like
an
update
status
update
on
all
of
our
community
centers
and
I
guess
the
populations
that
they're
serving
in
their
hours
of
operation
and,
let's
see
if
they
match
up
with
the
need
around
the
programming
and,
of
course,
as
we
again
come
out
of
the
pandemic
and
head
to
the
warmer
months,
particularly
in
the
summer,
making
sure
that
our
community
centers
our
pools,
our
cooling
centers,
ready
to
go
and
and
open
for
business
for
for
our
youth
and
for
our
seniors.
D
So
that's
in
a
nutshell,
just
want
to
get
into
the
weeds
and
get
a
little
more
specific.
Madam
chair,
I
appreciate
the
work
you're
doing
and
appreciate
this
working
session.
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much
counselor
flaherty
and
we've
also
been
joined
by
councillor
ricardo
arroyo.
So
I'll
go
to
him
next.
Council
arroyo.
We,
if
you
had
questions
for
bps
for
on
this
commitment,
one
stuff
and
then
also
bcyf.
Those
are
the
two
that
we've
covered
so
far
and
then
we'll
do
a
last
round
on
yee
youth,
employment
stuff.
So,
but
if
you
wanted
to
chime
in
now
with
your
bps
and
mbcyf
questions,
that'd
be
great.
E
Thank
you,
madam
sharon.
I'm
coming
in
a
little
late,
and
so
I
don't
just
in
the
interest
of
not
having
them
repeat
answers.
Is
it
possible
for
me
to
submit
answers
to
the
chair
to
send
to
them
so
that
I
don't
have
to
re-ask
questions
on
bps
that
they've
already
answered?
Oh.
A
E
No,
those
those
are
basically
the
same.
I
think
the
one
question
I
may
have
already
been
asked
and
answered
perhaps
is
the
summer
youth
programming.
I
know
last
year
we
added
about
8,
000
jobs
or
so,
and
I
think
the
at
least
from
what
I
understand
the
goal
is
to
sort
of
surpass
that
or
to
keep
that,
and
so
I
just
want
to
know
what
the
summer
programming
plans
are
for
for
that.
A
A
A
Yeah
that
they
go
back
to
their
old
number
and
that
then
you're
back
up
at
a
significantly
higher
overall
number
of
summer
jobs.
Although
probably
I
would
bet
that
you
know
we're-
probably
gonna
see
maybe
some
more
on
the
private
side
than
last
year,
but
maybe
not
as
many
as
a
regular
year
this
summer.
But
it
is
good
news
that
the
the
support
for
5000
is
in
the
like.
You
know
it's
in
the
real
budget,
because
last
year
the
money
to
fund
that
came
from
the
karazak
stuff.
So
there
was
definitely
concern
about
it.
E
So
that
sounds
great
and
then
I'm
just
gonna,
let
us
sit
on
the
questions
we
sent
you
before,
so
that
we're
not
taking
up
too
much
of
time
here.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
Great
awesome
sounds
good,
all
right
and
then
yeah
and
then
I'll
go
to
counselor,
brayden
and
counselor
flynn.
If
you
had
anything
on
the
youth
summer
job
specifically
since
that's
the
one
the
wahi
stuff
is
the
is
the
one
that
we
haven't
covered
yet,
and
then
I've
got
a
bunch
of
yee
questions,
because
I'm
somewhat
obsessed
with
the
summer
and
year-round
youth
jobs
program,
but
I'll
I'll
leave
mine
last
just
because
it's
kind
of
long
counselor
braden.
Anything
on
that.
B
Thank
you
I
I
know
we've
discussed
this
in
another
another
hearing.
I
think
you're
we're
on
boarding
like
5000
young
people
for
summer
jobs.
I
think
you
had
some
concerns,
or
someone
raised
a
concern
about
just
the
onboarding
process
and
whether
or
not
health
and
human
resources
has
the
capacity
to
to
do
that
in
an
expedited
way
and
and
if
they
need
resources
to
do
that,
to
make
it
happen.
B
So,
just
making
sure
that
you
know
our
city
infrastructure
is
able
to
support
all
that
sudden
rush
of
young
people
who
want
jobs
in
the
city
and
then
also
in
terms
of
thinking
about
summer
jobs,
where
the
jobs
are
available
by
district
I'd
like
to
know
the
sort
of
the
city
departments
that
the
the
jobs
are
available
in
and
the
numbers
of
of
jobs
that
are
out
by
district
and
the
the
job
types
and
and
what
sort
of
locations
the
young
people
have
and
also
in
terms
of
I
don't
know
if
we're
ready
for
you,
know,
thinking
about
your
concept
of
conservation
core,
just
just
trying
out
ideas
about
bringing
our
young
people
into
parks,
department
and
different,
different
part
departments
that
will
give
them
some
exposure
and
perhaps
see
if
we
can
get
that
whole
concept
moving.
B
I
don't
know
where
we're
at
with
that.
By
the
way,
if
we
could
piloting
your
concept
of
a
conservation,
core
would
be
would
be
really
great.
So
those
are
just
some
of
the
thoughts
I
had
about
summer
jobs.
A
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
the
support
on
both
those
fronts.
I,
yes.
I
definitely
think
that
we
have
talked
a
lot
about
the
fact
that
the
funnel,
through
our
hr
program
is,
is
imperfectly,
designed
for
getting
5000
young
people
onto
the
city
of
boston,
payroll
and
it
ends
up
with
it
ends
up
with
young
people
who
are
delayed,
sometimes
by
weeks
and
starting
their
summer.
Job
experience,
and
I
think
that's
really
you
know
it's
not
it's.
A
It
shouldn't
be
the
case
and,
and
we
it's
predictable,
it
happens
every
year,
so
we've
gotta
figure
out
how
to
solve
for
it.
I
know
there's
been
some
process,
analysis
and
internal
work,
but
it
feels
like
we
still
haven't
quite
gotten
there
with
the
hr
procedures
and
so
yeah.
A
That's
a
great
set
of
questions
for
us
to
ask,
and
then
yeah
I
mean
there
is
so
there
is
a
million
dollars
new
in
the
environment
department,
for
a
green
jobs
program,
which
I
think
is
a
opportunity
to
sort
of
open
the
door
into
our
conservation
core
stuff.
A
But
I
think
that
you're
making
a
good
point
that
I
also
want
to
stress
that
there's
a
set
of
programs
that
have
been
funded
by
success,
link
that
are
kind
of
like
conservation,
core
mini
programs
already
with
our
youth
and
what
they
really
need
is
a
kind
of
connective
tissue
and
some
support
for
the
workforce
development
piece,
and
I
think
that
would
be
a
great
place
for
the
green
job
stuff.
To
start.
A
So
I
know
that
the
city's,
probably
still
in
the
process,
I
know
they're
in
the
process
and
we'll
be
talking
about
it
with
environment
of
kind
of
figuring
out
what
that
green
jobs
money
looks
like,
but
it
feels
like
a
connecting
up
with
ye
on.
This
would
be
a
good
first
step
in
the
opening
months
of
the
fiscal
year.
B
C
C
C
That's
one
one
issue,
and
then
you
know,
as
it
relates
to
youth
jobs
as
well.
How
do
we,
my
question
is:
how
do
we
reach
youth
that
might
be
difficult
to
reach?
They
might
live
in
public
housing?
They
might,
they
might
have
limited
access
to
the
internet.
C
Their
parents
might
not
speak
english,
so
they
may
not
get
the
necessary
reading
brochures.
So
my
question
is:
how
do
we
reach
out
to
areas
or
populations?
I
should
say
that
can
be
challenging
and
how
are
we,
how
are
we
targeting
them
to
make
sure
that
they
have
equal
access
to
some
of
these
programs
and
jobs
as
well.
C
C
Right,
no,
I
know
what
it
was.
Always
I
always
thought
about.
Is
that
the
development
side?
I
represent
the
public
housing
developments
I
represent.
You
know
you
it's
it's
hard
to
reach
youth
in
there
and
without
an
organized
effort
without
an
organized
campaign.
C
Those
types
of
questions
you
know
in
the
weeds
are
are
what's
important
to
me
is
knowing
how
you
communicate,
because
you
know
walking
through
mary,
ellen
mccomic
or
walking
through
west
broadway
or
old
colony.
A
No,
I
totally
agree,
and
we
felt
that
when
I
was
at
the
housing
authority,
we
felt
all
the
time
like
there
were
a
lot
of
city
departments
that
didn't
really
know
how
to
reach
our
young
people,
and
it
was
a
source
of
continued
frustration.
So
I
I
agree
with
you:
it
is
that
tactile.
It's
also
just
like
people
who
are
willing
to
go.
You
know
in
the
buildings
and
knock
on
doors
in
the
hallway.
You
know
and
sort
of
work
with
the
housing
authority
and
others
around.
That
can
be
really
key.
So
I.
B
Think
I
think
this
brings
back
to
my
previous
question
of
bcyf
about
youth
workers
in
in
in
public
housing
complexes.
You
know
expecting
this,
the
kids
to
go
to
this
to
the
bcyf
center.
It
happens
in
some
cases,
but
a
lot
of
the
time
they
don't
like
to
leave
their
comfort
zone
and
they
stay
sort
of
siloed
in
their
in
their
complex.
B
So
I
think,
having
a
youth
worker
go
there
and
then
be
able
to
tell
them
and
promote
youth
programming
and
summer
programming
and
and
broaden
the
horizons.
A
little
would
be
really
helpful.
I
think
we
need
to
sort
of
thread
these
things
together.
So
there's
better
connectivity
across
across
departments
and
more
communication
across
departments.
C
Council
block-
I
I
just
have
one
final
comment-
know
what
I
always
thought
were.
The
best
days
of
the
summer
were
unity
days
at
bha.
I
used
to
love
going
to
unity
days
to
be
different
activities
for
kids
and
seniors
there'd
be
some
music.
C
C
But
can
we
you
know
when
when
when
and
if
we
do
have
unity
days,
I
would
I
would
encourage
that
we
we
have
them,
you
know,
can
we
orchestrate?
C
You
know
for
after-school
program,
programming
for
kids,
and
you
know
food
access,
you
know,
let
it
be
an
opportunity
for
us
to.
You
know,
give
kids
and
parents
and
the
seniors
an
opportunity
for
a
fun
afternoon,
but
also
providing
important
relevant
information
as
well,
including
including
youth,
jobs,.
A
Yeah,
no,
I
think,
you're
right,
I
think,
using
those
unity
days
which
I
think
came
to
be
originally
under
ray
flynn.
I
think
that
and-
and
I
think
your
your
dad
the
mayor-
he
still
comes
to
some
of
them.
I
know
I've
seen
him
at
the
one
at
mary
ellen.
E
A
C
Yeah
we
we
were
at
the
last
one
at
mary,
ellen
mccomic.
I
was
with
my
parents,
maya
walsh
and
several
others,
and
you
know
they
they
were
serving
hot
dogs
and
soda,
but
I'd
rather
have
a
hot
dog
in
soda
talking
to
to
bha
residents
than
than
being
at
one
of
these
fancy
steakhouses
on
on
boylston
street.
You
know
the
the
the
the
company
at
bha
you,
you
can't
beat
it.
Those
are
real,
the
heart
and
soul
of
boston
right
there.
A
Yeah
absolutely
I
very
much
agree
all
right.
Well,
thank
you
councillor
flynn,
and
I
I
am
now
going
to
put
a
bunch
of
my
questions
for
yee
on
the
record
and
then
I'll
read
some
questions
that
I
received
from
colleagues
into
the
record
as
well,
so
for
those
who
are
here
in
person
feel
free
to
go
to
your
next
thing.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
thanks.
A
Thanks
so
much
for
being
here,
councillor
brayden,
so
on
the
ye
front,
so
one
is
just
to
underscore
something
that
counselor
brandon
brought
up,
but
this
idea,
you
know,
I
think,
between
between
codman
squares,
green
infrastructure
program,
the
and
the
sort
of
urban
forestry
stuff
at
enc
and
speak
for
the
trees
and
like
a
bunch
of
our
kind
of
environmentally
focused
success,
link
programs.
A
Success
link
really
hasn't
had
the
bandwidth
to
support
the
support
from,
like
a
content
perspective
the
that,
like
set
of
programs,
but
I
think
I
do
think
we
should
take
some
first
steps
in
that
direction
as
part
of
kind
of
the
green
jobs
stuff,
and
so
would
love
to
see
some
plans
afoot.
For
that,
I
would
love
to
hear
in
detail
why
he
is
adding
proposed
in
this
budget
to
add
to
staff
members.
A
I
think
that's
super
key,
a
kind
of
deputy
director
and
then
also
someone
to
work
on
evaluation
would
love
them
to
come,
of
course,
prepare
to
talk
to
us
about
those
two
hires
and-
and
I
mean
with
the
evaluation
piece.
I
think
I
think
that's
so
key
knowing
knowing
what
about
what
we're
doing
is
working
to
you
know
for
young
people
and
and
to
set
people
up
with
other
opportunities.
A
I
do
sort
of
hope
that
that
I
guess
I'd
love
to
understand
what
the
deputy
director
specifically
is
envisioned
to
do.
There's
a
couple
of
things
that
I
certainly
feel
as
a
counselor.
We
need
more
capacity
at
y
e
on.
A
One
of
them
is
partnerships
and
kind
of
being
in
communication,
with
all
the
stakeholders
and
so
interested
in
whether
they're
gonna
be
doing
that
another
one
is
kind
of
program,
support
and
development,
so
helping
to
make
sure
we
have
like
high
quality
experiences
that
are
what
young
people
want
to
do
and
that
expose
them
to
neat
things,
and
I
think
that
and
also
think
about,
like
some
degree
of
continuity
across
programs.
So
by
which
I
mean
like
you
know,
could
we
have
a
shared
orientation
for
all
of
our
of
all
of
our
programs?
A
Maybe
it's
something
on
zoom,
but
just
like
kind
of
help
set
people
up,
because
I
do
think
that
the
the
support
for
young
people,
especially
for
whom
it
might
be
their
first
time
kind
of
coming
in
regular
hours
at
a
job
or
whatever.
I
think
that
support
can
be
uneven
depending
on
the
sponsoring
organization.
So
just
thinking
a
little
bit
about
that.
Another
really
big
innovation
for
this
year
is
the
introduction
of
the
grants.
A
The
direct
grant
program
for
lots
of
like
partners
instead
of
where
the
money
goes
to
them,
and
then
they
can
pay
it
out
and
obviously
that
our
hope
would
be
that
that
would
somewhat
relieve
the
pressure
on
the
city,
employment
system
and
just
the
sheer
amount
of
paperwork
that
young
people
have
to
line
up
to
be
employed
by
the
city.
A
But
what
I
would
love
to
understand
is
is
kind
of
how
many
of
our
partners
have
opted
for
that
grant,
option
and,
and
thinking
about,
I
think
I've
already
expressed
to
ie
that
the
rollout
of
that
was
a
little
bit.
It
was
sudden
and
it
wasn't
something
where
we
consulted
ahead
of
time
with
people
about
how
to
do
it.
A
So
it
came
as
kind
of
a
surprise
and
I
I
definitely
think
that,
because
there
wasn't
the
consultation
about
exactly
what
like
ways
to
tweak
it,
to
make
it
most
attractive
and
and
workable
for
partners
ahead
of
time.
I'm
hoping
that
there's
going
to
be
that
kind
of
focus
group
assessment
kind
of
now
that,
like
having
run
through
the
first
process
of
that,
so
I
would
love
to
hear
anything.
That's
already
come
up.
A
I
know
that
I've
heard
that
sort
of
the
question
of
how
much
money
is
put
aside
for
fringe,
and
the
administrative
piece
of
this
doesn't
seem
like
quite
enough,
so
would
love
to
just
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
how
many
takers
there
were
on
that.
How
many
of
our
youth
we
expect
to
be
going
through
that
process,
as
opposed
to
through
the
city
of
boston
process
and
and
what
the
city
across
boston
process
improvements
can
be.
A
I
would
love
to
just
hear
about.
I
mean
in
general
here
about
how
both
those
things-
partnership,
communication
and
and
the
and
the
program
support
can
be
improved
and
then
onboarding
would
really
saw
firsthand
last
year
that
we,
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
young
people
who
we
didn't
on
board
on
time.
A
Granted
last
year
was
insane
for
a
whole
host
of
reasons,
but
would
really
love
to
understand
the
the
details
of
what
our
performance
on
that
was
like
last
year
and
other
years
and
sort
of
what
our
targets
are
for
actually
getting
our
young
people
to
start
their
jobs
when,
when
they
hope
to
start
their
jobs
and
and
then
I
have
some
questions
that
I
wanted
to
ask
kind
of
coming
from
advocates.
A
As
folks
know,
we
have
a
very
we
have
a
very
active
community
of
youth
advocates
and
advocates
for
youth
jobs.
Some
of
them
are
our
youth,
and
some
of
them
are
not,
but
they
had
some
questions.
That
kind
of
chimed
with
mine,
and
so
I
wanted
to
raise
a
few
of
those
one
is
just.
A
A
Actually,
we
let
do
the
supervisor
jobs,
but
you
know
making
a
broader
set
of
jobs
available
to
that
age
group
also
lowering
the
age
limit
to
14
as
opposed
to
15-
and
you
know-
we've
had
a
bunch
of
back
and
forth
with
ye
about
it
being
important
to
enable
bcyf's
program
and
that's
why
we
don't
do
the
14,
I
think,
just
for
our
our
young
people.
You
know
that's
the
age
of
a
lot
of
our
high
schoolers.
It's
just
a
little
bit
frustrating
to
be
held
off
that
year.
A
So
we'd
love
some
clarity
about
that
would
love
to
know.
Oh,
I
also
think
I
think
we're
doubling
the
number
of
supervisor
jobs,
which
is
great
you
know,
would
love
to
think
about
whether
there's
a
way
to
make
the
supervisor
job
scale
like
to
have
some
jobs
that
pay
a
bit
more
like
it's
not
much
of
a
bump
to
be
a
supervisor
in
this,
and
maybe
for
sometimes
you
are
just
kind
of
an
older
youth
who's
participating
in
a
slightly
leadership
role.
A
But
sometimes
you
know
you're
really
you're
really
like
running
a
program
in
a
significant
way,
and
I
think
we
could
probably
do
more
on
that
front.
Would
love
on
the
year-round
jobs
front
to
understand.
There
was
a
commitment
last
year
to
do
a
thousand
year-round
jobs.
There's
a
commitment
this
year
to
do
a
thousand
again
super
excited
about
that.
I
think
I
said
this
already,
but,
like
super
excited
that
we're
you
know
coming
back
to
the
5
000
summer,
1000
year-round
job
number,
I
think
like
at
base
level.
That's
critical!
A
That's
the
direction
that
we
have
to
be
going
with.
This
program
is
growing
it,
and
so
doubling
down
on
where
we
were
last
year
is
great.
That
within
that
then
want
to
understand.
You
know
last
year
how
many
of
those
thousand
youth
jobs
summer,
sorry
year-round
jobs.
Did
we
actually
make
happen?
What
period
do
we
make
them
happen?
For
my
understanding
is
we're
still
kind
of
stuck
at
november
to
april?
A
A
Maybe
we
were
having
some
breakthroughs
with
the
system
to
allow
us
to
enroll
people
faster
so
that
we
wouldn't
have
this
necessary
delay
of
several
months
to
flush
the
summer
jobs
out
of
the
system
and
enter
the
year-round
ones
so
we'd
love
to
know
where
we
are
with
that
and
prospects
for
moving
some
of
those
year-round
jobs
into
a
september
start
and,
as
I
think,
we've
discussed
before
also
keeping
being
able
to
keep
continuing
youth
in
the
system.
A
What
weeks
that
program
was
running
for
how
many
of
them
sort
of
started
on
time,
which
I
think
ended
up
being
december
start
this
year
and
how
many
started
later
and
then
on
the
on
the
summer
front,
really
want
to
understand
from
last
year
how
many
youth
we
had
starting
in
each
of
these
weeks,
because
I
know
from
direct
experience
that
it
was
not
most
of
them,
starting
when
the
program
started
and
again,
that's
not
faulting
our
ye
folks
who
worked
super
hard
on
this.
A
There
seemed
to
be
a
bunch
of
administrative
hurdles
and
then
last
year
was
weird
just
because
the
whole
program
got
up
and
running
so
late,
but
but
would
love
to
have
that
kind
of
map.
Because
to
me,
if
we
just
measure
number
of
jobs,
we
don't
measure
duration
and
when
we
started
and
what
the
experience
is.
A
I
I
don't
think
that's
great,
and
I
also
think
that
in
the
you
know,
part
of
what
we're
doing
is
setting
our
young
people
up
for
future
work
and
careers,
and
I
think
in
in
most
of
the
working
world,
if
you've
got
a
start
date,
that's
your
start
date
and
it
doesn't
kind
of
move
in
the
way
that
our
y
programs
sometimes
have.
I
have
some
additional
questions
that
I'm
going
to
I'll,
add
and
I'll
add
into
the
record
afterwards,
because
these
are
it's
a
lot
to
ask,
but
but
understanding.
A
Also,
oh,
I
forgot,
besides
the
dates
of
start
sort
of
how
many
hours,
young
people
worked
and
kind
of
brackets
over
last
year.
So
just
like
a
bunch
of
that
quantitative
data
about
what
our
program
really
ended
up
looking
like
last
year
in
the
summer
and
year-round,
and
then
I
think,
really
asking
ye,
especially
with
this
proposed
additional
capacity,
how
the
sort
of
outreach
and
co-planning
of
these
things
is
going
to
shift,
because
I
think
we
continuously
hear
we
hear
from
partners
that
they
only
hear
about
things
once
they've
been
decided.
A
We
hear
from
young
people
and
youth
jobs
advocates
that
they
only
hear
once
things
have
been
decided-
and
I
think
you
know
people
appreciate
lots
of
steps
in
terms
of
the
directions
of
travel
of
ye
are
pretty
reflective
of
a
lot
of
conversations
that
have
been
had.
A
But
you
know
sometimes
the
devil's
in
the
details
in
terms
of
how
it
actually
works
for
everybody,
and
it
would
be
great
to
be
able
to
use
that
staff
capacity
to
have
a
more
consultative
process
on
with
with
the
advocates
and
the
partners
on
some
of
these
things.
A
I
have
a
bunch
more
ye
questions
like
I
said
I've
jumped
around
on
my
sheets,
so
I'll,
probably
I'll,
add
some
of
them
in
for
the
formal
request,
and
I
just
really
want
to
underscore
you
know
I
take
going
to
5
000
this
year
as
being
a
commitment.
You
know
in
the
city
that
we're
we're
not
going
back,
we're
going
better
right,
we're
going
to
keep
growing
the
youth
jobs
program
and
so
that's
great
to
go
from
funding
it
with
care
as
to
funding
it
in
the
budget.
A
A
I
think
with
that,
with
that
increase
to
a
thousand
again
last
year
we
definitely
heard
some
bumps
along
the
road
in
terms
of
people
being
kept
in
the
loop
about
when
that
was
going
to
happen
and
the
portal
and
everything
so
we'd
love
to
get
more
partners
involved
and
and
not
have
folks
who
think
they're
going
to
have
people
involved
in
the
fall
find
that
they're
not
really
going
to
have
them
involved
until
christmas
and
therefore
functionally
until
the
new
year
yeah
and
oh
and
then
one
other
thing
is
just
as
we
think
about
program
development.
A
We
hear
from
a
lot
of
youth
programs
that
they
end
up
having
a
fundraise
to
support
kind
of
add-ons
that
we
don't
fund
through
the
ye
program,
but
would
be
really
helpful
for
running
a
great
youth
program.
So
they're
like
oh,
we
really
need
additional.
A
You
know
mentor
kind
of
you
know
older
youth,
and
so
we
create
another
one
to
hire
or
we've
got
to
have
or
we're
using
complicated
tools,
and
so
we
need
more
adult
supervision,
and
so
we
do
see
a
lot
of
kind
of
building
around
the
edges
to
make
success,
link
work
and
obviously
I
mean
we're
always
looking
to
be
partnering
with
our
nonprofit
partners.
A
But
I
I
wonder
if
ye
might
think
about,
could
we
have
kind
of
startup
grants
or
something
that
kind
of
supports
innovative
programming
and
gives
people
a
little
bit
more
of
a
cushion
to
do
that
work
around
the
edges.
I
think
that
would
be
great
and
then
one
second.
A
And
then
I
think
it
would
also
be
great
to
understand
if
ye
could
share
with
us,
because
I
believe
it
has
done
initial
initial
allocations
of
spots
to
programs
if
it
could
sort
of
share
across
the
board
like
what
does
that?
Look
like
like
how
many
how
many
spots
are
going
to
partners
who
took
the
grant
option?
How
many
do
partners
whose
folks
are
going
to
come
through
the
city
of
boston?
A
What
are
those
different
programs,
then
within
the
city
ones?
I
think
council
braden
asked
this,
but
what
departments
are
we?
You
know
last
year
we
sort
of
talked
about
doing
blue
shirts.
We
didn't
really
do
blue
shirts,
but
we
did
do
a
thing
at
the
parks
department
that
was
fairly
large.
So
what
did
that
look
like?
A
And
what,
and
can
we
just
have
a
table
in
general
of
the
number
of
jobs
each
organization
is
set
to
host
and
then
also,
I
think
my
my
office
was
hoping
to
host
and
I
don't
think
we've
heard
back
yet.
So
that's
a
very
particular
counselor
question
that
we
would
love
to
know
the
answer
to
okay
and
I
think,
with
that,
I'm
gonna
transition
to
reading
a
few
questions
from
colleagues
who
weren't
able
to
join
us
or
were
only
able
to
join
us
briefly.
A
A
Then,
in
regards
to
code
of
conduct
implementation,
could
the
administration
provide
us
with
some
data
around
code
of
conduct,
violations
by
demographics?
What
percentage
of
code
of
conduct
violations
were
issued
to
white
students
compared
to
students
of
color?
Then
last
year
we
saw
a
cut
in
socio-emotional
learning
and
an
increase
in
social
emotional
intervention.
A
I
think
this
is
a
line
item
thing
this
year,
we're
seeing
proposed,
cut
and
socio-emotional
intervention
and
an
increase
in
socio-emotional
learning.
So
what's
the
reason
for
these
numbers
going
back
and
forth?
What's
up
with
that
distinction
in
the
line
items,
one
thing
that
a
number
of
parents
have
made
very
clear
is
that
special
education
services
are
critical
and
need
to
see
greater
funding.
However,
we
are
seeing
cuts
to
sped
early
childhood
sped
lab
and
sped
programs
for
the
physically
disabled.
What
are
the
reasons
for
these
cuts?
A
And
then
how
are
we
using
this
new
federal
funding
to
help
create
trauma-informed
services
for
students
who
need
help
readjusting
back
to
in-person
classes?
How
can
we
do
the
same
for
teachers
who
have
had
to
bear
the
burden
of
making
all
these
adjustments
and
then
I'll
go
to
counselor
royal's
questions
for
bps
in
this
set
of
topics
is
how
is
bps
working
on
making
sure
that
bps
is
oag
opportunity,
achievement
gap.
A
Strategic
plan
is
implemented
across
all
strategic
areas
and
not
just
concentrated
in
a
few
specifically,
how
does
the
fy
22
recommended
budget
fund
the
oag
policy
which
aspects
of
commitment
1
are
receiving
funding
and
which
are
not
so
you
know:
workforce
diversity,
curriculum
bias,
review
ethnic
studies,
etc,
where's,
the
money,
how
is
bps
evaluating
and
defying
curriculum
bias?
What
progress,
if
any,
has
been
made
on
reducing
curriculum
biases
and
how
will
the
fy
22
budget
address?
This
is
bps
planning
on
updating
the
code
of
conduct
this
year
or
sometime
soon.
A
A
Now
we'll
go
to
bcyf
questions
from
counselor
mejia,
it's
great
to
see
programming
created
specifically
for
young
girls,
I'm
curious
to
see
how
we
can
build
off
to
that
to
include
programming
specifically
for
other
young
people
such
as
lgbtq
plus
youths.
A
The
document
we
received
from
bcyf
mentioned
that
we
will
implement
a
membership
fee
policy
for
all
of
our
sites.
What
will
that
process
look
like
and
how
will
that
impact
low
income
communities?
This
is
the
same
as
my
question
about
what's
going
on
with
bcyfree
and
this
membership
policy
statement
like
what's
the
if
they
could
just
explain
that
in
detail
to
the
council
would
be
great,
and
then
the
document
also
says
that
we'll
work
with
the
city
of
boston,
language,
access
coordinator
to
expand
translation
and
interpretation
within
bcuif.
A
A
Then
he
asks
is
bcyf
planning
on
applying
to
any
future
rounds
of
the
youth
homelessness
demonstration
program
in
2021.
There
seems
to
have
been
a
drastic
decrease
in
community
center
visits
program.
Sorry
2020,
I
should
have
said
program
participants,
programs
offered
and
teen
visits.
A
Presumably
that's
related
to
the
pandemic.
But
can
you
talk
about
those
decreases?
Why
is
there
a
500
000
increase
in
non-personnel
line
item
for
sports
and
fitness?
What
represents
this
increase
from
zero
in
fy21
and
564
from
fy
20.?
Where
did
bcyf
redirect
its
savings
in
utilities,
office,
furniture,
furniture
and
equipment
and
miscellaneous
supplies
and
materials,
and
then
of
bcyf's
39
contracts?
Only
one
is
wbe
and
none
are
mbes
or
slbes.
A
How
is
the
department
planning
to
increase
the
number
of
wbes
wbes,
mbes
and
slbs,
and
for
those
watching
at
home,
wbes
are
women-owned
businesses,
enterprises,
mbes
or
minority-owned
business
enterprises
and
slbes
are
small
and
local
business
enterprises,
and
then
council
royale
also
asked
about
the
bcyf
revolving
fund
for
fy20
expenditures
of
the
revolving
fund.
Far
outweighed
the
receipts
was
this
due
to
covid,
does
bcyf
draw
from
the
operating
budget
when
the
expenditures
are
higher
than
the
receipts.
A
There
that'd
be
great
to
understand,
and
I
will
just
add,
because
we're
in
bcyf,
because
I
forgot
to
earlier
that
just
I
would
love
an
update
on
things
at
the
tobin,
whether
there's
any
investments
planned
there
on
the
programming
or
capital
side,
since
it's
the
only
bcyf
center
in
my
district,
unfortunately,
kind
of
the
youth
and
family
and
senior
center
stuff
is
all
left
to
the
private
domain
in
the
rest
of
my
district,
which
is
a
thing
that
I
regret
and
wish
that
we
could
make
a
sort
of
long-term
plan
to
change,
and
then
the
oh
and
I
see
also
we've
been
joined
by
counselor
edwards
once
that
counselor
is
I'm
going
to
come
to
you
and
then
I
also
just
would
love
to
hear
a
little
bit
of
the
hennigan,
which
is
just
over
the
line.
A
It's
in
council
o'malley's
district,
but
we've
definitely
heard
some
agitation
for
for
refreshes
and
and
rethinking
that
bcyf
center,
and
so
just
anything
that
team
can
share
about.
That
would
be
great
counselor
edwards.
A
We
have
reached
the
stage
of
this
where
I'm
reading
some
of
the
questions
from
counselors
who
weren't
able
to
join
and
the
counselors
who
did
join,
have
asked
their
questions
and
jumped
off.
But
since
you're
here
we
can
interrupt
that
programming
and
if
you
have
any
questions
for
these
bps
commitments,
bcyf
or
ye
happy
to
hear
them
now.
F
I
can
yep
okay,
I
I
won't
interrupt
the
process,
as
I
understood
how
you
described
it,
I'm
having
a
hard
time
hearing
you,
so
I'm
I'm
I'm
having
technical
difficulties
on
my
end,
so
I
apologize,
but
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
let
you
continue
your
process
until
I
can
figure
out
I'm
hearing
every
other
word
from
you.
A
Okay,
all
right
well
I'll,
okay,
I'll
read,
I've
just
got
counselor
arroyo
and
he
has
questions
for
why
he
left
to
read
so
I'll,
read
those
and
then
maybe
how's
it
now.
Is
it
any
better
we're
still
coming
in
and.
A
Out,
okay,
all
right
well,
we'll
see
I'll,
give
it
a
go
all
right
and
then
back
for
counselor
mejia
asking
for
ye
in
addition
to
the
5
000
youth
jobs.
How
can
we
use
this
funding
to
create
opportunities
for
year-round
jobs
for
young
people?
A
So
we
know
that
there
are
these
thousand
proposed,
but
I
think
more
detail
on
that
and
reports
on
what
happened
this
year
and
how
we
can
go
even
better
next
year
would
be
great,
and
then
how
are
we
thinking
creatively
about
all
our
city
contracts
and
finding
ways
to
create
employment
opportunities
for
young
people
throughout
them?
So
throughout
the
city?
Can
we
create
young
jobs
for
young
people,
and
then
counselor
arroyo
asks
ye
expanded
its
summer.
Youth
program
in
fy21
is
ye
planning
on
keeping
those
jobs
going
forward.
A
Yep
we
talked
about
that
a
bit,
so
we
can.
We
can
leave
that
actually
off
and
then
what
does
the
youth
lead?
The
change
program
look
like
in
terms
of
process
who
participates
in
the
program
and
how
is
outreach
conducted
and
in
the
request
for
information
from
the
council,
ye
announced
that
dye
will
be
moving
forward
with
grant
funds
for
summer
2021
and
that
it
will
ye
will
serve
a
grant
stewardship
role.
How
will
ye
ensure
that
funding
is
stable
and
consistent?
A
A
How
does
ye
conduct
outreach
to
youth
and
other
participants
in
the
summer,
employment
and
school
year?
Employment
programs,
that's
related
to
counselor
flynn's
question
earlier
and
then
does
ye
track.
Demographic
information
on
participants
in
the
youth
lead
the
change
program
and
employment
programs.
If
so,
can
ye
provide
these
figures?
A
A
F
I
don't
I'm
I'm
good,
but
I
won't
a
lot
of
the
questions
in
terms
of
youth,
employment
and
matching.
What
we
did
last
year
with
this
year
have
already
been
put
on
the
record
so
that
I
would
reiterate
some
of
those
questions.
I
do
think
one
of
the
the
questions.
A
F
I
would
have
is
specifically
around
pipelines
that
the
youth
employment
is
using
partnerships
with
roca
partnerships
with
soars
our
street
outreach
and
then
also
partnership.
Some
of
our
worker
centers
with
semi-documented
documented,
documented
youth.
So
I'd
like
to
know
how
our
pipelines
are
working
and
making
sure
that
not
only
that
we
just
have
diversity
but
an
experience
in
around
the
city.
F
I
think
I
would
love
some
statistics
on
where
a
majority
of
the
jobs
are
going
right
now
for
youth
and
break
down
some
of
those
demographics,
so
our
majority
of
them
going
to
east
boston.
I
don't
I
don't
think
so,
but
if
and
and
then
of
the
ones
that
are
going
out,
how
many
are
young
men
versus
young
women
and
what's
the
average
age,
so
I'd
like
that
information
when
it
comes
to
bcyf,
I
know
we
had
there
were
several
movements
to
try
and
streamline
payments
for
membership
for
bcyf.
F
I
believe
that,
as
part
of
the
joy
agenda
from
acting
mayor
jd,
those
fees
have
been
waived
for
this
year
for
the
summer
either
way.
But
I
do
know
that
there
was
still
a
question
when
fees
do
come
back.
If
they
do,
how
are
we
making
sure
they're
consistent?
How
are
we
making
sure
that
they're
essentially
accounted
for
and
making
sure
that
we're
our
aren't
in
our
fee
structure,
setting
up
for
inequalities
and
then
what
was
the
other
department.
A
I
had
there's
a
bunch
of
bps
categories
that
we're
talking
with
them
about
next
week,
mainly
opportunity
and
achievement
gap,
stuff
special
education.
You
know,
mental
health
supports
a
whole
bunch
of
things.
F
So
with
that,
then
thank
you
so
much
counselor
bach.
There
were
several
questions
they
had
in
terms
of
our
commitment
to
either
guidance,
counselors
or
a
nurse
in
every
single
school,
and
how,
with
the
recovery
with
the
especially
I
think,
the
kids
are
going
to
be
dealing
with
post
pandemics,
stress
disorder,
whatever
we
want
to
call
it
and
and
the
impact
on
that,
how
how
is
bps,
setting
up
a
system
to
assess
our
kids
to
make
sure
that
their
their
mental
health
is
a
priority,
their
mental
and
emotional
well-being,
and
how?
F
How
are
we
actually
setting
up
a
real
system
for
kids
to
access
those
resources?
I
I
do
know
when
it
comes
to
some
of
the
food
access
and
bps.
I
know
I've
gotten
some
complaints
from
my
parents
about
kids
eating
lunch
on
the
ground
outside.
F
I
have
and
some
could
address
this,
but
I
have
basically
said
it
seems
like
it's
more
of
a
balancing
the
moment.
This
is
not
a
permanent
policy,
but
in
as
much
as
we're
going
to
have
kids
back
at
school,
we
need
also
to.
F
F
I
don't
know
if
this
is
the
right
section,
but
since
we're
dealing
with
safety
in
schools,
the
school
or
police
officers
in
schools,
again,
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
one
of
the
budget
items
but
really
dealing
with
that
issue
and
making
sure
we're
that's
a
concern
that
we
have
obviously
and
information,
and
so
how?
How
are
we
accounting
for
that?
I
know
that
there's
some
foias
and
we're
also
still
in
the
middle
of
the
information
session.
F
Excuse
me,
information
sharing,
ordinance
as
well,
and
I
think
that
was
oh
and
then
we're
also
moving
forward
digital
equity
right
there's,
an
ordinance
then
there's
also
just
a
general
analysis.
So
what
permanent
digital
infrastructure
is
any
of
these
systems
keeping
and
expanding
upon?
F
Now
that
we've
we're
kind
of
getting
out
of
the
pandemic,
I
actually
think
there's
certain
things
that
are
worth
keeping,
and
so
I'm
not
really
sure
if
bps
is
keeping
or
you're
going
to
record
all
your
lessons,
maybe
going
forward
so
that
kids
can,
if
they
miss
school
or
they're
sick
and
they
can
watch
them.
I
I
I
think,
it's
time
to
be
creative
with
with
the
infrastructure
we
build
out
and
how
it
can
actually
further
assist
and
expand
education
opportunities.
A
All
right
well
and-
and
I
think
with
that,
unless
you
have
anything
else,
I'm
about
to
gabble
us
out,
so
I'm
good
all
right
great
in
that
case,
thank
you
to
all
the
counselors
who
share
our
questions
today.
We
will
be
getting
those
over
to
the
bps
bcyf
and
ye
teams
shortly
and
we'll
be
meeting
with
them
in
hearings
next
week.
So
if
you
remember
the
public
watching
this
just
so
you
understand,
this
is
called
a
working
session.
For
a
reason,
it's
obviously
a
bit
informal.
A
It's
just
counselors
we're
reading
off
questions.
It's
maybe
even
a
little
boring,
but
you
know
because
of
the
open
meeting
law
and
the
importance
of
sort
of
public
access
to
our
deliberations.
We
do
these
working
sessions
as
a
public
thing
and
then
that
just
generates
this
list
of
questions
we
send
over
the
department.
A
So,
if
you're
interested
in
hearing
more,
you
should
come
to
the
department
hearings
next
week,
virtually
which
are
on
tuesday
for
bps,
both
in
the
morning
and
afternoon
and
then
on
thursday
in
the
morning
for
bcyf
and
in
the
afternoon
for
yee
youth
engagement,
employment,
so
yeah.
So
looking
forward
to
those
and
in
the
meantime,
this
working
session
of
the
boston
city
council's
ways
and
means
committee
is
adjourned.
Thank
you.
