Meeting
with
our
county
colleagues,
the
neighborhood
services
and
education
committee
and
committee
of
the
whole
joint
special
edition,
if
you
will
and
before
we
begin,
I
wanted
to
announce
that
we
have
translation
services
as
you've
just
heard,
our
acidic
clerk
will
share
how
those
can
be
accessed
for
today's
meeting.
So
if
tony
you
can,
let
us
know
or
play
a
video.
C
I
would
also
like
this
is
tony
chamber
city
clerk.
I'd
also
like
to
add,
if
we
are
interpreting
for
public
speakers,
if
you
are
on
the
panel
and
want
to
hear
the
translation
of
the
public
speakers,
you'll
need
to
go
down
to
that
interpretation
icon
at
the
bottom
and
select
the
english
language
channel,
because
they'll
be
interpreting
the
language
onto
the
english
channel
right
now,
it's
defaulted
to
off,
and
so
you'll
only
hear
like
the
main
channel
so
to
hear
the
public
speakers.
If
you're
a
panelist,
you
need
to
select
the
english
channel.
B
Wonderful,
thank
you
tony.
So
I
will
do
another.
Welcome
people
should
feel
very
welcomed.
I
think
this
is
my
third
try
at
welcoming
folks
to
city
of
san
jose's,
neighborhood
services
and
education
committee
and
committee
of
the
whole,
along
with
santa
clara
county
children,
seniors
and
family
committee,
on
the
topic
of
child
well-being,
and
we
will
begin
with
roll
call
on
our
city
site.
So
I'll.
Ask
the
clerk
for
that
city
of
san
jose
roll
call.
B

B
E
I
B
B
But-
and
this
also
created
an
imbalance
of
work
and
home
life
for
children
and
parents,
and
and
dare
I
say,
a
lot
of
the
times
that
has
been
women
and
some
research
has
identified
as
women
being
those
folks
who
are
most
impacted,
and
so
I'm
really
grateful
that
we're
all
here
and
that
we
continue
to
address
the
local
care
for
children
needs
of
our
community
and
those
that
care
for
them.
And
so
we
have
this
great
opportunity
to
support
a
predominantly
female
dominated
field,
which
is
our
child
care
providers.
They're.
B
It
hasn't
happened
again.
I
mean
there's
been
quite
a
number
of
attempts
to
provide
child
care
for
all,
but
it
hasn't
happened.
And
now,
with
this
tragic
pandemic,
it's
created
an
opportunity
for
us
to
as
a
city
and
as
a
county
and
county
office
of
ed
and
all
of
those
nonprofits
that
are
in
this
ecosystem,
in
caring
for
our
children,
whether
it's
indirectly
or
directly.
B
B
They
won't
necessarily
be
presenting,
and
that's
dr
elijah
bauer,
our
superintendent
of
alamorock
school
district
and
dana
bunnett
director
of
kids
in
common,
is
here
with
us
and
later
on,
we'll
be
joined
by
dr
marlene
sperm,
with
the
children's
advocacy
center
and
rocio
abundas
with
the
child
abuse
prevention
council.
And
so
I
will
now
turn
it
over
to
supervisor
chavis.
I
Well,
thank
you.
This
is
a
very
exciting.
I
know
this
is
our
one
of
our
favorite
topics,
and
I
know
we
have
these
fearless
women
who've
been
leading
the
way
and
I'm
speaking
to
all
of
you
and
also
to
my
colleague
so
the
way
we're
going
to
break
this
meeting
up
is
that
we're
going
to
break
it
into
two
chunks.
I
I
So
I'm
going
to
ask
folks
to
if
they
wouldn't
mind,
just
really
doing
their
best
to
stay
within
that
time.
So
to
dive
in
our
first
presenter
is
dr
marianne
dewan,
our
county
superintendent
of
schools
and
dr
dewan,
I'm
so
excited
you're
here
to
get
us
started.
We
had
a
risk
of
losing
her
to
jury
duty
today,
but
she
made
it.
So
thank
you
for
joining
us.
K
K
K
Next,
we've
seen
declines
in
both
space
and
capacity
and
in
enrollment
in
our
schools
and
programs,
and
not
all
of
this
can
be
explained
by
the
decline
in
birth
rate.
The
significant
decrease
in
child
care
capacity
and
tk
and
kindergarten
enrollment
is
concerning
significant
declines
can
be
somewhat
associated
with
covid19,
for
example,
some
centers
that
closed
due
to
less
capacity,
safety
concerns
and
parent
health
and
safety
observations.
K
Data
indicates
that
low-income
families
were
less
likely
to
access
virtual
learning
options
during
the
pandemic
and
the
inability
to
intervene
early
for
our
children
and
families
due
to
the
lack
of
in-person
availability
could
mean
that
delays
will
be
present
into
the
future
to
sustain
santa
clara
county
as
a
place
where
children
and
families
can
live
and
thrive.
A
comprehensive,
coordinated
system
of
early
care,
health
and
education
is
needed.
K
K
We
must
resist
the
urge
to
create
parallel
systems
and
programs
that
are
impossible
for
families
to
navigate
and
that
lead
to
too
many
transitions
and
lack
of
continuity
for
our
most
vulnerable
youth
and
their
families.
The
state
has
stepped
up
in
some
meaningful
ways
in
this
last
budget
year.
Next,
the
recent
state
budget
included
planned
investments,
most
of
which
have
not
yet
been
rolled
out
yet
for
schools
and
providers.
K
These
investments
address
each
core
aspect
of
a
comprehensive,
coordinated
local
system
and
they
set
the
stage
for
significant
expansion
in
our
county.
Next,
planned
investments
cover
six
major
components
of
a
comprehensive
system
of
early
care
and
education.
Most
of
these
budget
items
will
be
available
to
schools
and
to
licensed
providers.
K
Next.
This
next
slide
shows
that
these
buckets
the
items
in
blue
are
investments
that
all
schools
and
providers
will
be
able
to
receive.
The
items
in
purple
are
competitive
grants.
The
county
office
of
education
and
school
districts
would
need
to
apply
for
in
order
to
receive
and
those
two
competitive
areas
are
facilities
and
staff
recruitment.
K
K
We
also
expect
that
there
will
be
some
increased
investment
in
early
learning
or
child
care,
but
we
already
know
that
that
will
not
be
universal
preschool
and
the
santa
clara
area
median
income
cap
at
82
850
for
a
family
of
four
represents
a
50
000
increase
over
the
current
income
threshold
for
the
head
start
income
eligibility.
So
that's
a
significant
boost
for
our
county
next
slide.
K
So
what
does
this
all
mean
for
santa
clara
county?
It
means,
for
example,
that
we
will
have
about.
We
will
be
eligible
for
about
350,
more
full-day,
preschool
slots,
8
000,
new
vouchers
for
childcare
and
up
to
ten
thousand
new
transitional
kindergarten
slots
will
become
available
and
with
santa
clara's
new
rate
reimbursement
license.
State
preschool
and
child
care.
K
K
What
this
means
is
that
all
four-year-olds
within
the
next
few
years
will
be
eligible
to
attend
transitional
kindergarten,
a
publicly
funded
program,
all
state
subsidized
early
learning
program
that
will
be
accessible
regardless
of
income.
So
true,
truly
universal
and
the
gradual
expansion
plan
will
allow
county
offices
of
education,
school
districts,
communities
and
families
to
plan
for
this
expansion
in
ways
that
will
ensure
the
quality
of
the
programs
for
families
and
all
four-year-olds
will
be
eligible
by
the
2025-2026
school
year.
K
K
Next,
as
I
mentioned,
the
budget
announcements
were
for
planned
investments
and
there
are
a
variety
of
different
timelines
for
these
to
be
implemented
and
the
possibility
that
over
time,
some
of
these
will
be
modified,
potentially
reduced
or
increased
as
more
specifics
of
state
budget
and
federal
allocations
are
known.
That
being
said,
we
can
expect
some
rollout
to
occur,
yet
this
fall
with
most
of
the
rollout
occurring
into
the
winter
and
through
to
the
spring
next
coven
19
has
had
an
extremely.
K
I
K
We
do
still
need
to
advocate
for
additional
funding
to
schools
who
are
in
basic
aid
school
districts
to
get
additional
funding
for
tk.
It's
not
a.
They
are
still
able
to
provide
tk
and
would
be
expected
to
do
so,
but
they
currently
would
not
receive
any
additional
funding,
because
they're
not
funded
based
on
enrollment
and
attendance,
like
other
districts,.
I
L
Okay,
well,
to
start
off
from
the
standpoint
of
county
government,
the
historical
responsibility
that
we've
had
that
we've
fulfilled
for
the
care
of
children
is
focused
on
the
safety
net
and
has
been
based
upon
multiple
programs
that
are
developed
by
state
and
federal
and
local
entities
and
then
implemented
by
the
county,
and
I
just
wanted
to
show
you
all
this.
This
is
a
website
at
our
data
portal
and
because
of
new
leadership
on
the
board.
L
We
started
two
years
ago
with
a
children's
budget
that
will
show
you,
as
you
explore
what
we
do
for
kids
and
how
we
do
it
split
up
into
four
categories:
ways
to
keep
children
safe
ways
to
keep
them
healthy
ways
to
keep
them
learning
and
to
keep
them
successful
in
life,
and
you
can
go
through
all
of
the
detail
here.
But
let
me
just
pull
up
something
to
help
see
in
general.
What
we
do
our
budget
for
the
year.
21
was
about
980
million
dollars
in
october.
L
Our
budget
projections
for
the
year
2022
will
be
online
which
get
published
when
our
final
budget
is
finalized,
and
you
can
see
here
that
keeping
children
safe
is
definitely
the
largest
expenditure
in
social
services,
so
that
has
to
do
with
child
support.
I
mean
foster
children's
support,
child
protective
services,
all
the
other
social
services
that
you
can
imagine
and
what
you
can
do
here-
is
click
on
this
slide.
L
Child
care
was
really
a
determinant
extremely
important
determinant
of
whether
people
could
successfully
complete
their
work
as
well
as
balance
their
family
needs.
So
we've
been
directed
to
negotiate
with
our
employer
groups.
Employee
groups
benefit
now
which
will
include
child
care
as
a
benefit
for
all
county
employees.
L
Obviously,
this
will
take
a
lot
of
coordination
with
the
school
districts,
the
office
of
education
and
the
cities,
but
that's
our
goal
and
we're
very
well
on
the
way
to
provide
it
in
terms
of
special
funding
sources
for
child
care.
We
as
the
county
don't
get
any
special
funding
sources
that
are
dedicated
to
child
care
and
that's
a
remnant
of
funding
at
the
state
and
the
federal
level
which
focuses
on
program
based
fundamentals.
B
Thank
you,
I'm
going
to
introduce
somebody
that
probably
doesn't
need
an
introduction.
He
has
been
a
fixture
really
in
the
city
of
san
jose
and
a
long-term
employee,
and
that's
angel
reels
he's
our
deputy
city
manager
he's
been
leading
the
team
and
working
together
on
this
issue,
you'll
hear
about
our
youth
master
plan
and
just
some
wonderful
coordination
efforts
that
he's
been
taking
on
under
the
city
manager's
office
angel.
M
All
right
well,
thank
you,
chair,
dennis
good
to
see
so
many
champions
and
child
advocates
here.
That
was
a
real,
impressive
portal,
dr
smith.
We
we
definitely
need
to
incorporate
that
strategy
here
in
our
city,
but
just
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
quick
few
minutes
to
just
kind
of
preface
some
of
our
some
of
our
next
speakers,
and
you
know.
M
The
one
thing
that
we
have
learned
during
this
pandemic
right
is
that
children
and
families
that
were
already
vulnerable
prior
to
the
pandemic
just
have
become,
for
the
most
part,
even
more
vulnerable
and
that's
a
real
disturbing
just
data
point
right
and
and
and
and
and
so
we
feel
a
sense
of
urgency
here
at
the
city
as
well.
You
know:
we've
we've
talked
about
different
children
and
youth
strategies,
but
really
the
bottom
line
is
that
we
got
to
do
better.
We
got
to
be
more
intentional
about
how
we
do
this
work.
M
We
invested
an
additional
3.6
million
dollars
that
went
to
subsidize
direct
access
to
child
care
slots
and
support
for
children
and
families,
but
that's
just
you
know,
scratching
the
surface,
as
we
all
know,
right
and
and
this
and
this
concern
really
really
was
brought
home
to
me
about
a
few
weeks
ago,
when
I
was,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
to
about
30
youth
that
were
in
our
san
jose
works
job
training
program,
it's
their.
It
was
with
their
first
jobs
and
one
of
the
questions
I
asked
them.
M
It
had
to
do
with
their
hopes
and
fears,
and
one
young
one
young
teen,
her
response,
I
think,
just
nailed
it.
She
said
you
know
my
biggest
fear
is
not
being
able
to
live
in
the
city
that
I've
been
raised
in
and
to
me.
I
think
that
just
really
brings
home
really
the
the.
Why
of
this.
You
know
meeting
here
right
and
and
from
a
city
standpoint
throughout
this
last
budget
process.
M
We
we
made
a
very
intentional
commitment
with
the
support
of
a
lot
of
the
the
elected
officials
that
you
see
here
in
this
in
this
committee.
We
are
intent
on
developing
a
children
and
youth
master
plan
for
the
city,
and
we
hope
that
this
children,
youth
master
plan,
is
integrated
with
our
community-based
partners,
the
county,
all
all
the
different.
N
N
Another
recent
policy
development
was
the
expiration
of
the
license
exempt
provider
waiver
for
school
hours
programming
as
a
licensed
exempt
child
care
provider.
The
city
of
san
jose
can
only
provide
a
total
of
14
weeks
or
less
of
public
recreation
programming
for
school-aged
children
in
a
consecutive
12-month
period.
N
In
addition,
state
statute
specifies
that
the
programs
can
only
be
offered
outside
of
normal
school
hours
or
periods
when
students
are
normally
not
in
session.
The
city
was
granted
a
temporary
waiver
under
the
covet
19
state
emergency
declaration
that
expanded
the
14-week
limit
and
allowed
the
city
to
operate
during
school
hours.
B
B
B
I
also
have
a
question
where,
as
soon
as
we
finish
with
this
discussion-
and
maybe
some
of
these
brainstorming
ideas
on
how
to
coordinate
with
all
of
us
we're
going
to
move
into
section
2b
after
that
point,
we
will
hear
public
comments.
So
just
for
those
folks
who
are
listening
to
our
meeting
from
home
you'll
have
an
opportunity
to
comment
after
section
2b.
This
is
technically
just
finishing
up
section
2a.
B
So,
while,
while
I'm
on
on
the
queue
here,
I
do
and
because
I
know
dr
bauer
needs
to
leave
by
a
certain
period
of
time.
I
think
four
minutes
I'm
going
to
just
ask
her
really
quickly.
Dr
bauer
I'd
love
to
hear
your
thoughts.
I
know
that
you
and
I
connect
from
time
to
time-
and
I
hear
about
you-
know
the
hardest
to
reach
communities.
O
Thank
you
so
much
and
good
afternoon
to
everybody,
it's
so
wonderful
to
see
a
whole
bunch
of
beautiful,
familiar
faces
and
total
champions
of
early
learning.
It
takes
me,
you
know
it's,
as
I
heard
dr
the
one
and
dr
smith,
and
and
sarah
you
know
it
just
brought
me.
It
took
me
back
to
my
first
year
as
a
superintendent
in
alamo,
where
we
had
a
major
gap
in
terms
of
providing
preschool
for
all
the
students
in
alam
rock.
O
It
just
reflects
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we
did
in
those
early
days
and
big
thanks
to
council
member
cavazco,
because
back
in
those
days,
if
you
remember
magdalena,
san
jose
learns
was
a
huge
part
in
alamo
or
how
we
were
able
to
fund
the
gaps
in
terms
of
early
learning,
and
I
just
have
to
say
thank
you
back.
Then
we
had.
O
We
were
one
of
the
first
districts
in
the
state
us
and
somebody
down
south
who
started
providing
tk
and
young
for
education
to
our
students
in
that
quest
of
providing
early
learning
for
every
child
in
alum
rock
and
in
in
that
effort
we
were
not
receiving
any.
It
was
a.
It
was
a
district
contribution,
the
district
invested
in
that
and
we
were
not
getting
any
ada
for
those
students
because
remember
the
formula:
was
you
get
money
until
that
child
completes
five?
O
So
we
were
very
bold
and
we
invested
at
the
tune
of
about
four
million
dollars
per
year
for
about
six
years
and
enhance
those
dollars
with
san
jose,
learns
to
provide
a
full
day,
kindergarten
and
after
school
programming
for
those
students,
because
these
were
the
kids
that
received
that
that
had
access
to
nothing,
they
did
not
qualify
for
a
head
start
because
their
families
earn
100
a
month
too
much.
You
can
imagine
that
there
there
was
there
was
not.
O
Some
of
them
were
not
able
to
afford
state
preschool,
and
there
was
just
not
enough
slots
no
seats.
So
we're
talking
about
those
gaps
that
were,
and
then
that
currently
are
for
alum
rock
four
million
dollars
a
year
in
order
to
pro
to
invest
in
those
families
was
that
it
was
a
considerable
contribution
not
getting
anything
back
from
the
state.
O
O
Early
learning
programming
is
the
the
major
gap
for
students
in
the
east
side
of
san
jose
the
other
major
gap,
it's
being
able
to
provide
flexible
hours
to
our
families
for
this
kind
of
care.
High
quality
care
because
remember
a
lot
of
our
families
are
those
first
responders
essential
workers
that
were
not
able
to
take
the
the
blessing
and
the
luxury
to
be
working
from
home
and
they
needed
to
have
immediate
high
quality
care
and
because
that
of
the
lack
of
affordability
and
the
lack
of
presence
of
these
kinds
of
programs.
O
I
know
that
the
city
did
an
amazing
job,
trying
to
provide
and
stay
preschool
and
all
of
our
preschool
partners
around
us
did
magic,
and
I'm
just
gonna
use
that
word
at
a
time
when
nobody
had
children
back
in
the
in
classrooms.
They
did
so
huge
put
us
to
that,
but
it
was
just
not
enough,
and
so
city
county
check
that
out
right
that
that
that
was
a
huge
impact
to
our
economy,
county-wide
of
people
not
being
able
to
afford
to
live
in
our
area
because
they
could
not
have
find
affordable
child
care.
O
The
care
of
children
in
our
area
and
not
being
able
to
to
stay
here
and
now
we
are
having
a
huge
challenge
trying
to
find
those
workers
to
fill
our
vacancies,
because
I
want
to
see
in
any
in
these
beautiful
tiles
around.
You
know,
as
I
look
at
all
of
you,
you
tell
me
who
has
not
had
a
chat,
a
challenge,
hiring
for
your
vacancies
right
now,
and
that
is
the
as
a
consequence
of
those
kinds
of
things
that
we
thought
they
were
luxury
at
some
point.
O
Sometimes
you
know
the
old
traditional
you
know,
child
care
is
for
those
who
can
afford
it
or
for
those
who
you
know.
This
is
something
that
the
mom
needs
to
stay
home.
That
sounds
very
1940s,
but
a
lot
of
people
still
believe
that
and
that's
why
the
lack
of
funding,
because
we
have
not
transported
education
in
the
care
of
children
to
the
21st
century.
O
O
Where
are
they
gonna
take
them,
and
this
is
not
only
you
know,
for
early
learning,
but
that
also
becomes
an
issue
for
elementary
age,
school
children,
so,
council
member
arenas,
you
asked
me
to
talk
about
the
gaps.
What
is
going
on?
That
is
a
little
bit
of
of
what
is
going
on,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
so
much
to
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
participating
for
listening
to
this.
O
When
things
like
sj
learns
was
able
to
say,
you
know,
alum
rock:
where
is
your
gap
and
we're
able
to
and
how
do
we
partner
and
so
that's
kind
of
the
spirit
we
need
to
be
a
solution,
oriented
and
creative
and
innovative
to
be
able
to
provide
for
this
huge
gap
that
we
have.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
invitation.
O
B
P
So
with
that
as
a
given,
what
we
are
looking
at,
what
has
changed
right
now.
Is
this
incredible
funding
opportunity.
So
we
have
an
opportunity
before
us
to
make
long-term
systemic
changes.
We
we
could
make
investments.
That
would
be
short-term
stimulus
which
is
exciting,
but
but
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
really
look
at
a
new
journey
together.
P
Dr
dewan,
I
thought
did,
of
course,
an
excellent
job
laying
out
and
partners
in
the
first
panel,
the
funding.
What
I
think
is
is
another
critical
piece
and
that
perhaps
the
second
panelist
will
be
addressing
is
what
funds
go
to
what
entities,
because
that's
going
to
be
critical
in
determining
our
roles,
but
from
what
I
heard
in
the
first
part
and
from
the
homework
that
I
did.
P
Learning
about
the
second
panel
before
it
happened,
is
that
if
we
go
into
this
thinking
about
perhaps
four
lanes,
we
can
get
to
a
strategic
place
where
all
of
us
here
have
a
role
we're
moving
toward
this
unified
whole.
But
we
know
that
we
need
to
work
with
our
funding
streams
and
the
and
the
essentially
the
the
purview
that
each
of
us
have.
So
as
a
as
an
initial
thought
for
everybody
to
listen
to
as
we're
going
through.
P
We
hear
a
lot
about
workforce
if
the
ultimate
goal,
as
dr
dejuan
showed
in
her
her
bucket,
is
more
seats
for
kids
for
sure.
In
order
to
provide
those
seats,
we
need
to
expand
our
workforce,
and
I
see
here
that
we
have
an
opportunity
for
first
five
to
lead
for
the
county,
to
support
through
bridge,
to
recovery,
to
really
create
a
lot
of
new
good
jobs.
P
We
talked
about
briefly,
I
think
dr
dwan
talked
about
facilities.
That's
a
brilliant
place,
I
think,
for
the
county
office
of
education
to
leave,
of
course,
in
partnership
again
with
the
county
with
school
districts.
Dr
smith,
I
did
hear
you
say
on
the
record
that
we
are
going
to
get
to
providing
child
care
for
every
single
kid
in
this
county
that
needs
it.
So
we
should
be
thinking
about
all
of
our
county
facilities
and
where
we
can
embed
child
care,
not
just
for
our
own,
our
own
employees,
but
for
people
coming
into
it.
P
That's
the
second
piece:
workforce
development
first
facility.
Second,
a
third
is
looking
at
those
those
funding
gaps
that
dr
bauer
mentioned.
What
isn't
state
or
federal
government
going
to
fund?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
the
most
vulnerable
kids
are
served
well
in
our
county
and
then
the
fourth
place?
I
see
for
cities
and
and
schools
to
partner
angel
talked
about
the
after
school
programs,
and
this
phenomenal
opportunity
that
we
have
now
with
schools
being
required
to
provide
those
additional
three
hours.
P
P
What
I'm
hoping
comes
out
at
the
end
of
this
is
whether
it's
this
vision
or
a
different
one,
I'm
you
know
always
happy
for
things
to
be
better,
but
that
we
all
understand
that
by
taking
different
pieces
of
this
working
on
it
having
specific
goals
and
outcomes
and
then
coming
back
together
to
share
what
we're
doing,
how
we're
moving
and
where
we
need
support,
we
can
really
be
very,
very
action
driven,
and
that
is
my
personal
hope
for
today.
So
I
wanted
to
share
it
and
put
it
on
all
of
your
minds
as
well.
I
Thank
you,
I'm
gonna,
I'm
looking
to
my
co-chair
and
I
think
what
we
want
to
do
is
dive
into
this
next
panel
and
and
I
and
let
me
just
say
folks,
if
you're
attending
what
we'll
do
is
we're
going
to
hear
this
next
panel
then
go
to
the
public
comment
and
then
come
back
to
the
group
for
discussion
and
I
know
councilmember
annette.
I
know
our
kickoff
speaker
here
is
dr
dewan.
Are
you
ready
to
launch
that.
Q
I
Okay,
so
I
think,
oh,
that's
probably
why
she
told
me
cindy,
move
okay
and
ask
that
I
take
oh.
I
didn't
read
the
second
part
of
that
that
text
all
right,
so
we're
going
to
rock
and
roll
we're
going
to
start
with
dr
juan
I'm
going
to
remind
everybody
that
they,
if
they
can
stay
to
their
time.
That
would
be
great
because
we're
going
to
we
have
a
hard
stop
at
4
30,
and
I
want
to
make
sure,
there's
enough
time
for
us
to
put
our
to-do
list
together,
all
right,
all
right.
K
K
Next
slide.
Additionally,
we
mentioned
learning
less
earlier
and
there
have
been
some
reference
to
before.
After
school
and
summer
care-
and
there
are
funds
available
for
expanded
learning,
including
the
expanded
learning
opportunities
program,
a
new
program
of
the
state-
this
is
ongoing.
Funding,
that's
going
to
be
provided
to
school
districts.
K
K
The
bad
news
of
this
story
is
that
the
amounts
vary
quite
significantly,
and
some
school
districts
will
receive
very
little
or
no
funding
and
some
will
receive
more
funding.
The
formula
is
allows
for
more
funds
in
those
districts
where
there's
a
much
higher
number
of
unduplicated
students
and
using
this
funding,
schools
will
be
required
to
expand
their
school
day
to
allow
for
nine
or
more
hours
of
both
instruction
and
child
care,
as
well
as
enrichment,
and
they
have
to
follow
the
state
standards
for
after-school
education
and
safety
next
slide.
K
I
think
it's
really
hard
for
all
of
us
to
really
soak
in
what
that
means
for
our
county,
and
what
this
will
also
mean
is
that
smaller
local
investments
will
be
needed
in
order
for
us
to
take
full
advantage
of
those
two
programs
and
then
on
the
blue
side,
the
3.8
billion
children
and
youth
behavioral
health
initiatives.
Statewide
will
still
require
some
investment,
including
local
partnerships
with
philanthropy
managed
healthcare
plans
and
others,
but
all
of
these
come
together
to
show
what's
available
for
child
well-being
next
slide.
K
K
There
are
some
recommendations
here
for
facilities.
For
example,
there
are
funds,
these
will
all
be
competitive,
but
they
will
also
require
a
local
match:
local
investment
in
order
to
be
eligible
for
the
funds
and
in
terms
of
services,
students
have
been
requesting
some
specific
materials
and
activities.
K
K
B
E
E
E
All
of
our
work
during
the
pandemic
has
been
in
community
and
with
many
of
the
partners.
Here
today
we
began
our
journey
together
with
the
city
and
the
county,
putting
together
essential
emergency
child
care
for
first
responders
responders,
like
the
healthcare
field
and
the
fire
and
police
and
the
city,
and
this
was
really
successful
so
successful
that
when
the
states
started
expanding,
extend
what
essential
workers
who
they
were,
we
were
able
to
open
up
more
child
care
and
support
them
as
well.
E
E
E
E
Let's
see
today,
we
will
be
focusing
the
next
slide.
Sorry,
one
more
each
of
those
by
the
way,
their
own
strand,
yeah.
Our
sides
are
backwards,
I'm
so
sorry,
everyone
they're
getting
they're
coming
up
backwards.
Look.
Can
we
go
there,
keep
going,
keep
going,
keep
going,
keep
going
there,
we
go
we'll
just
leave
it
right
there,
one
more
go
into
the
middle.
Well,
not
the
house
go
back
up.
E
E
It
was
just
reported
by
the
center
for
the
study
of
child
care
employment
that
we
have
lost
nationwide,
127,
700,
child
care
jobs.
Since
february
2020.
in
our
own
county
of
the
approximately
2
000
child
care
operators,
260
of
them
have
been
permanently
shuttered.
It's
devastating
60
of
our
folks
who
are
in
an
operating
or
teaching
in
early
learning
access
social
service
supports.
E
It's
certainly
understood
that
these
folks
are
not
paid
at
the
wages
that
are
necessary
to
not
access
those
support
and,
as
our
small
micro
business,
family,
child
care
homes,
40
percent
of
our
are
first
of
all.
All
of
most
of
them
are
women,
40
of
them
self-identify
as
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color.
E
This
is
why
we're
focusing
on
creating
three
workforce
development
initiatives
to
support
not
only
our
field,
but
also
the
larger
economy.
The
first
is
the
shared
service
alliance
that
will
create
a
santa
clara
county
family
child
care
home
network,
with
a
focus
on
supporting
family
child
care.
Home
providers
with
back-end
business
supports
that
they
do
not
have
access
to
they
much
like
they're,
needing
support
accessing
medical
care
or
doing
their
taxes
or
tuitions
creating
tuition
schedules.
E
We
also
want
to
support
the
efforts
to
advocate
for
an
equity
oriented
emergency
credentialing
process
and
finally,
we
are
working
on
creating
an
apprenticeship
program,
much
like
the
one
we
have
in
the
trades.
We
already
have
a
staffing
crisis
currently
in
our
county,
with
some
of
our
and
now
with
some
of
our
professionals.
E
Moving
to
universal
transitional
kindergarten
positions,
we're
going
to
need
to
backfill,
we
are
working
on
this
particular
program
and
it
has
been
replicated
in
other
counties
throughout
the
state,
we'll
be
working
with
many
partners
like
community
colleges,
workforce
development
boards,
county
and
city.
You
all
folks,
the
county
office
of
education,
child
care
center
agencies
and
our
intention
is
to
build
and
bring
new,
highly
skilled
educators
into
the
field
with
the
end
result
of
being
placed
in
higher
paying
jobs.
B
Thank
you,
wendy,
and
I
also
got
kicked
out.
Probably
nobody
noticed,
but
this
is.
This
is
the
era
that
we're
living
in?
You
did
such
a
wonderful
job
and
thank
you
for
those
graphics.
It
really
shows
us
where
families
are
we're
going
to
move
on,
to
angel
rios
and
having
him
present
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
san
jose,
along
with
the
rest
of
our
presenters.
S
S
S
S
Successful
completion
of
these
programs
and
the
current
iteration
by
our
participants
can
yield
more
than
900
additional
child
care
spaces.
The
second
program,
the
fcc-h
program,
will
follow
closely
with
the
ffn
pathway
and
two
additional
support.
Paths
are
available
through
career
online
high
school
and
also
through
our
sjpl
works
programs.

of
after-school
programs,
san
jose
recreation,
preschool
and
teen
centers
serving
youth
from
preschool
age.
Through
the
12th
grade.
We
currently
have
a
total
of
56
programs
operating
serving
over
1200
youth
due
to
the
utilization
of
prns
scholarship
funds
and
cdgb
funding.
We
had
distributed
over
1.8
million
dollars
in
scholarship
funding
to
support
these
programs
and
greatly
reduce
the
barrier
of
costs
for
families
in
need.

Please.

81
of
families
that
have
received
a
subsidy
through
cdgb
fall
under
the
category
of
extremely
low
income
threshold,
which
ranges
from
an
annual
income
level
between
34
800
for
a
household
of
one
up
to
65
650
for
a
household
of
eight.
While
this
is
useful
data
to
collect
and
use
to
shape
further
budget
decisions,
it
is
also
important
to
note
that
state
funding
sources
for
child
care
and
expended
learning
use
different
income
thresholds
than
federal
federal
cdgb.
F
Lastly,
through
the
use
of
a
variety
of
funding
sources
like
cdgb
and
covid
relief
funds,
prns
has
had
the
ability
to
triple
the
amount
of
subsidies
available,
resulting
in
families
most
in
need
to
enroll
in
these
programs
at
no
cost.
We
know
that,
in
order
to
continue
this
past
this
fiscal
year,
funding
will
need
to
be
identified,
as
this
is
not
a
sustainable
method,
since
these
funds
are
tied
to
coveted
relief
and
are
not
ongoing
next

Please.
F
The
study
concluded
that
overall,
the
city
of
san
jose
has
had
a
long-standing
commitment
to
promoting
the
well-being
of
its
citizens,
and
this
is
especially
true
within
the
city,
child
care
programs,
the
program's,
dedicated
staff,
commitment
to
cultural
competence
and
efforts
to
support
vulnerable
children
brings
value
to
the
families
they
serve
as
well
to
the
broader
community.
The
needs
assessment
described
in
this
report
identified
several
possible
changes.
The
city
could
make
to
further
strengthen
these
programs.
F
Information
gleaned
from
existing
data
reports,
in
addition
to
the
new
information
gathered
through
the
project,
focus
groups
and
interviews,
underscore
the
need
for
the
city
and
its
partners
to
continue
exploring
approaches
to
promote
equity
with
respect
to
meeting
families.
Child
care
needs,
as
well
as
to
promote
children's
school
readiness.
F
The
findings
also
support
the
need
for
creative
solutions
that
expand
the
city's
role
in
addressing
addressing
child
care
needs
in
the
community
and
supporting
other
child
care
providers
in
san
jose
by
centering.
The
goal
of
promoting
equity
and
reducing
disparities
regarding
child
care
and
relatedly
children's
school
readiness
and
academic
performance.
The
city
of
san
jose
can
continue
to
build
a
community
that
is
supportive
of
its
most
vulnerable
families,
and
now
I
will
turn
it
over
to
angel
rios
excellent.
M
We
also
have
an
opportunity
to
really
advance
and
and
implement
an
education
policy
that
we
that
we
previously
got
approved
and
that
whole
education
policy
is
important
because
what
it
does
is
it
really
drives
quality
standards,
both
in
recreation
programming,
as
in
israel's
library.
Basically,
any
city
programs
that
touches
the
life
of
a
young
person
would
be
subject
to
the
these
quality
standards
that
would
be
applied
to.
M
I
think
we
need
to
do
better
in
this
area
and
be
more
intentional
around
how
we
braid
what
we
do
with
with
all
the
other
services
that
serve
our
children
and
youth,
and
then
the
third
area
is
really
in
the
area
of
expanding
access
to
city
after
school
programs.
You
know,
in
some
cases
with
respect
to
parks
and
rec.
For
example,
we
have
a
cost
recovery
model,
so
we
need
to
really
revisit
that
and
and
find
creative
ways
to
to
basically
increase
accessibility
by
either
eliminating
you
know
those
cost
recovery.
M
You
know
approaches
that
can
sometimes
be
prohibitive,
especially
for
for
for
poor
and
working
families,
as
well
as
increasing
programs
after
school
programs
such
as
rock
and
including
in
there
in
those
programs,
an
academic
component
that
would
also
again
further
advance
children
in
academic
development
and
then,
of
course,
just
working
to
really
tap
into
other
funding
streams
above
and
beyond
general
fund
to
make
sure
that
we're
maximizing
the
investment
in
young
people.
So
those
are
the
kind
of
like
the
three
areas
that
we've
identified
so
far.
M
M
You
know
we
did
work
in
coordination
with
the
county
as
well
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
access
to
free
child
care
for
for
for
employees,
especially
those
that
were
responding
to
the
pandemic,
and
I
believe
we
have
kendra
yarn
who
is
here
to
give
a
just
a
very
quick
testimonial
on
how
that
went
for
her,
so
kendra
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
Hi.
C
C
So
I've
had
my
kids
participate
in
the
hero
camp
program,
which
they
set
up
for
the
first
responders
that
were
supporting
pandemic
they've
participated
in
our
in
our
san
jose
recreation,
preschool
programs
when
they
were
preschool
age
and
each
year
each
summer
I
have
them.
In
our
summer
camps,
transitioning
from
distance
learning
into
our
summer
camps.
C
You
know,
after
sitting,
in
front
of
a
computer
for
their
safety
right
during
the
distance
learning
time,
but
just
being
active
and
socializing
again
with
other
kids
and
then
also
just
the
connections
that
they
were
making
with
staff
members
other
adults
outside
of
our
household
right.
Creating
that
trust
thinking
of
the
community.
C
It's
been
awesome
to
be
able
to
have
my
children
participate
in
that
which
has,
in
turn
allowed
me
to
be
able
to
focus
on
my
work
and
the
support
that
I
provide
to
the
department.
I
can
seriously
go
on
and
on
and
on,
and
if
there
is
one
thing
that
I
actually
wish
we
could
do
for
the
school
year
was
allow
my
kids
to
participate
in
our
rough
programs
after
school.
C
B
I
love
it.
I
love
it
because
these
are
the
voices
of
our
parents
and
our
working
moms
that
we
are
hoping
to
address
today
that
we
will
be
addressing
together
so
before
I
turn
it
over
to
supervisor
travis.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
angel
once
again
for
his
leadership
and
house
vangenberg.
I
think
somebody
I
I
didn't
say
it
was
a
miracle,
but
I
sure,
as
heck
will
take
that
compliment
up.
B
You
know
these
are
just
some
of
the
folks
that
you
see
here,
but
behind
them
there's
a
huge
force
of
people
that
have
a
desire
and
a
passion
to
serve
our
community.
In
a
way
that
fits
them,
and
so
when
I
heard
about
dr
brower
talking
about
non-traditional
hours,
I
think
that's
something
that
maybe
we
we
should
take
up
in
the
discussion
part
of
this,
but
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
supervisor
chavez.
I
Thank
you,
we're
going
to
turn
now
to
marissa
who's,
a
county,
employee
and
then
we're
going
to
have
a
couple
more
speakers
before
we
go
to
the
public,
and
I
just
wanted
to
alert
the
public
that
if
you
would
like
to
speak,
your
turn
will
be
coming
up
after
the
next
few
speakers.
So
this
would
be
the
time
to
raise
your
hands
so
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
marissa
who's,
a
county
employee.
He
wanted
to
give
some
reflections
on
child
care
and
her
needs.
T
I
want
to
share
just
some
needs
that
I
had
in
the
past
in
regards
to
child
care
and
then
other
feedback
that
I've
had
from
co-workers
and
even
the
families
of
dfcs
that
we
serve,
and
in
regards
to
that,
like
my
daughter,
I
have
a
12
year
old
and
I
have
a
14
year
old.
My
14
year
old
is
autistic,
so
it's
very
hard
to
find
child
care
for
her,
not
only
because
of
you
know
the
certain
challenges
that
she
has,
but
every
time
there
is
a
program
that
opens
up.
T
T
You
know,
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
was
working
with
dfcs
I've.
You
know
the
two
most
biggest
problems
that
you
know
people
come
to
us.
Families
come
to
us
about
is
child
care
and
housing
and
child
care.
You
know,
I'm
sure
you
all
know
it's
very
hard
to
go
to
work
and
and
focus
and
do
what
you
have
to
do
when
you
don't
have
you
know
somewhere
to
put
your
child
or
your
child,
gets
out
at
two
o'clock
and
there's
not
there's
an
after
school
program,
but
it's
completely
full.
T
So
then
you
have
to
work
with.
You
know
your
boss,
who,
if
you
know,
hopefully
they
work
with
you
to
get
out
sooner,
the
programs
are
full
and
whatnot.
So
I
mean
I
just
from
my
experience.
I've
been
you
know,
and
I've
been
lucky
enough
to
have.
You
know
my
mom
a
lot
of
family
and
I
work
graveyard.
So
I'm
able
to
care
for
my
kids,
but
that's
not
something,
that's
realistic
for
everyone.
T
I've
been
lucky
enough
to
take
advantage
of
the
city
of
san
jose
community
center
summer
camps,
where
you
know
I'm
able
to
because
my
daughters
get
reduced
lunch,
I'm
able
to
apply
for
a
financial
scholarship,
but
again
that's
something
that
you
have
to
apply
three
to
four
months
in
advance
and
it's
gone
within
less
than
a
week
and
then,
after
that,
it's
just
extremely
expensive
to
put
them
in
in
summer
camp.
So
I
mean,
if
you
know
there
can
be
some
programs
that
are
offered
some
more.
T
A
J
J
Since
my
child
had
was
one
year
old.
I
have
been
trying
to
place
him
in
a
pro
and
a
child
care
facility
for
kids,
so
I
will
be
able
to
access
a
job,
because
I
only
depend
for
what
I'm
giving
for
my
ex-husband.
Unfortunately,
in
all
the
places
that
I
have
tried
to
apply,
I
haven't
been
able
to
qualify
for
them.
J
That
is
why
am
I
here
waiting
for
my
testimony,
my
testimony
to
help
to
attract
and
bring
and
encourage
and
strength
the
resources
that
we
have
in
europe
and
facilitate
the
documentation
process
for
a
single
mom
that
for
me
it
is
a
priority,
a
priority
to
receive
this
resources,
and
then
my
kids
will
have
access
to
programs
that
are
based
upon
quality
and
meanwhile,
I'm
working
and
provide
what's
needed.
For
my
kids,
I'm
really
thankful
to
all
of
you.
I
We
have
two
more
presenters
under
this
section
and
I
just
wanted
to
do
a
time
check.
Reminder
that
that
I
understand
council
member
dennis
will
be
calling
on
our
public
speakers
and
we're
going
to
go
to
here.
Two
more
public,
I
mean
two
more
presenters
will
go
to
public
comment
and
then
back
to
the
board.
This
meeting
was
supposed
to
end
at
4
30,
where
we,
I
know
both
supervisor
ellenberg,
and
I
have
a
hard
stop
at
about
4
45.
I
I
R
Thank
you
supervisor
of.
If
someone
could
pull
up
my
slides,
please
really
appreciate
it
good
afternoon:
supervisors
and
council
members,
members
of
the
committees,
partner
agencies
and
members
of
the
public.
My
name
is
veronica
gohan,
the
executive
director
of
grail
family
services,
and
I'm
also
here
on
behalf
of
the
sea
supplier
collective.
R
Next,
in
making
funding
recommendations
for
ece
services
in
east
san
jose,
we
believe
it's
important
to
consider
community
assets
as
much
as
they
identify
needs
as
part
of
as
part
of
our
ec
assets.
Gfs
and
disease
for
the
collective
serves
hundreds
of
young
children
through
a
variety
of
ece
service
delivery
models,
highlighted
on
the
slide,
some
state-funded
preschools
parent
co-ops,
a
network
of
licensed
child
care
providers
and,
most
recently
girl
family
services
in
partnership
with
the
collective,
was
selected
for
a
national
economic
mobility
initiative
in
which
we
are
training.
R
24
unlicensed
providers
in
our
community,
which
is
incredibly
excited,
we're
very
excited
about
that
these
service
deliveries.
All
all
these
approaches
were
designed
to
meet
the
needs
and
the
preferences
of
the
families.
We
serve
the
programs.
All
include
a
strong
parent
engagement
component,
which
we
view
as
critical
part
of
the
service
delivery.
R
Many
of
these
parents
have
become
strong
advocates
for
young
children.
Next,
our
families
have
identified
a
variety
of
needs,
however,
offering
child
care
during
alternative
hours
has
risen
to
the
very
top.
Many
of
our
parents
are
essential
workers
and
don't
have
a
nine-to-five
job.
These
workers
are
critical
for
the
cities
and
counties
economic
recovery,
and
then
I
know
that
we're
oppressed
by
time.
So
I'm
gonna
finish
with
a
couple
of
recommendations.
This
recommendations
are
actually
next
life.
Please,
this
recommendation
are
actually
coming
from
the
community.
H
B
I
B
D
Yeah,
this
is
great,
I'm
glad
the
taxpayer
is
going
to
be
footing
the
bill
for
all
this.
It's
ridiculous!
What
you
guys
are
proposing
what's
going
to
happen
when
the
money
comes
out,
there's
not
enough
money
to
provide
everybody,
everything
and
then
all
of
a
sudden.
You
want
the
county
and
city
workers
to
be
subsidized
too
they're
already
getting
paid
fat
salaries.
It's
like
glorified
welfare
for
you,
people,
you
don't
understand
it.
You're
not
gonna,
have
enough
money
to
do
all
this
and
you
never
ever
think
about
the
taxpayer.
Nor
do
you
thank
the
taxpayer.
D
Ever
ever
ever
ever,
it's
just
more
more
more
from
the
taxpayer.
It's
disgusting
and
I'm
tired
of
having
to
hear
the
wounded
tomb
that
everybody
needs
everything
from
the
taxpayer.
When
you,
when
do
you,
people
think
the
money
is
going
to
run
out?
You
know
it's
going
to
happen.
There's
no
way
you're
going
to
be
able
to
sustain
all
this.
It
sounds
so
feel
good
and
everything
it
is
not
you.
People
are
going
to
bankrupt
this
county,
this
city,
the
state
and
the
federal
government.
D
A
A
Yet
that's
what
came
out
on
the
translation,
cape
town,
south
africa,
is
the
heart
of
apartheid.
I'm
sure
everybody
here
is
educated,
so
you
know
what
apartheid
meant.
Please
check
it.
Second
of
all,
in
1968,
sophie
mendoza
marched
on
roosevelt
junior
high
school,
marched
the
kids
out
of
there.
Why?
Because
of
the
abuse,
the
dehumanization
and
the
degradation
and
the
shameful
acts
of
san
jose,
unified
school
district
and
elementary
school
district,
what
they
were
doing
was
the
my
mother
slapped
her.
They
took
her
to
the
front
of
the
class
and
beat
her.
Why?
A
Because
she
was
mexican
and
she
spoke
spanish
in
the
school
districts.
I
do.
I
can
be
in
a
room
with
100
mexicans
that
speak
spanish.
I
cannot
communicate
with
them.
Why?
Because
my
mother
was
so
ashamed
that
when
she,
when
we
were
being
raised,
she
thought
that
we
would
be
beaten
too.
So
spanish
was
forbidden.
A
Thus,
I'm
cut
off
from
a
complete
cultural
connection.
With
my
own
people
in
san
jose
and
it
started
in
the
school
districts,
I'm
tired
of
mexicans
being
disrespected
I'm
tired
of
mexicans
being
exploited
for
their
work.
They
run
this
city,
let
the
let
the
mexicans
strike
for
a
week,
this
city
shut
down
but
shut.
A
A
A
A
major
barrier
that
exists
on
the
local
level
to
child
care
expansion
is
the
lack
of
suitable
facilities,
which
was
outlined
in
many
of
the
reports.
The
office
of
education
remains
eligible
and
willing
to
apply
for
competitive
grants
for
facility
expansions,
which
will
require
a
local
match
of
funding.
A
I
want
to
thank
the
body
for
their
great
work
in
support
of
child
care
providers
and
expanding
access
to
child
care.
I
want
to
also
ask
you
that
you
please
continue
to
build
upon
direct
resources
to
programs
that
serve
the
needs
of
children
experiencing
poverty
too
many
parents
cannot
return
to
work
simply
because
they
cannot
find
subsidized
child
care,
so
they're
forced
to
stay
home
or
rely
on
dangerously
informal
care
for
their
kids.
A
R
I
want
to
thank
supervisor
ellenberg,
who
has
led
the
joint
child
care
committee
and
championed
the
children's
agenda,
as
I
strongly
believe,
these
will
provide
a
firm
foundation,
as
we
jointly
advocate
for
solutions
to
the
pandemic
faced
by
the
working
poor,
I'm
referring
to
the
child
care
crisis.
In
addition
to
investment
in
child
care
workforce.
I
believe
our
children
need
and
deserve
safe
and
welcoming
spaces
that
serve
the
whole
child.
R
Children
not
only
need
safe
spaces,
but
spaces
to
run
play
socialize
relate
to
one
another
under
the
safe
care
of
adults
that
nurture
the
whole
child
as
school
sites
are
occupied,
180
instructional
days,
with
only
some
sites
used
for
summer
school
offerings.
I
believe
we
can
examine
funding
sources
to
convert
school
sites
to
child
care
centers
when
school
is
not
in
session.
R
The
expanded
definition
of
infrastructure
under
the
biden,
administration
and
the
collective
expertise
and
passion
and
far-reaching
networks
of
leaders
like
you
can
truly
create
transformational
change
for
our
children,
working
families
and
women
of
color
who
make
up
the
majority
of
child
care
workforce.
Thank
you
all.
G
The
y
delivery
system
for
child
care
after
school
and
summer
camp
will
benefit
greatly
from
workforce
development
and
additional
financial
assistance,
but
I'm
here
today
to
tell
you
that
I'm
very
encouraged
by
the
opportunity
that
I
see
here
you
know
as
the
ceo
of
the
ymca
here
in
silicon
valley.
I
believe
that
several
of
you
mentioned
an
ecosystem
and
a
cross-sectional
approach
to
the
solution,
and
I'm
very
encouraged
by
that.
You
know.
G
I
hope
that
we're
building
an
asset
map
of
where
the
capacity
exists
and
we're
thinking
not
only
in
the
county
and
city
resources,
but
to
community
service
organizations
like
ours,
and
if
we
can
map
out
where
there's
capacity
to
build
and
where
we
can
develop
workforce
pathways
for
parents
and
others,
I
think
we'll
have
a
greater
impact
on
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
together.
I'm
also
encouraging
you
to
think
more
about
off-hour
care
and
off
our
workforce
development
opportunities
for
parents
to
see
how
they
can
build
their
own
career
path
by
considering
being
caregivers.
G
And
finally,
this
capacity
building
will
require
all
of
us
to
work
together,
and
I
believe
a
cross-sector
approach
is
just
what's
needed.
So
thanks
for
all
that,
you're
doing-
and
please
know
that
the
ymca
and
other
agencies
like
ours
are
very
strongly
interested
in
being
part
of
building
capacity
and
being
part
of
this
important
solution.
Thanks.
J
J
We
know
that
the
coordination
with
organizations
like
first
five,
the
mayor's
gang
task
force
school
health
clinics,
healthy
kids,
foundation,
pivotal
kids
in
common
to
name
a
few-
are
really
what
can
help
impact
the
full
student
experience
and
while
there
remains
much
to
improve
on,
we
see
the
dial
continuing
to
move
in
a
positive
direction,
and
I
see
this
happening
through
the
listening.
Partnering
and
recognizing
the
whole
student
need-
and
I
thank
you
all
very
much
for
your
commitment
during
this
time
and
happy
to
be
a
partner
in
this.
Thank
you.
J
Here
at
aki,
we
firmly
believe
that
early
access
to
educational,
preventive
and
wellness
services
is
key
to
ensuring
the
future
health
and
success
of
our
children,
and
we
strongly
support
recommendations
to
expand
programs
providing
flexible
child
care
and
early
childhood
education,
along
with
recommendations
to
dedicate
funds
to
integrate
tutoring
and
emotional
social
emotional
services
to
into
programs
for
children.
We
also
agreed
that
developing
a
master
plan
for
children
and
youth
in
san
jose
would
be
a
great
step
in
ensuring
that
the
city
is
able
to
meet
the
long-term
needs
of
underserved
families.
J
R
C
D
Yes,
can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
yes,
great,
my
name
is
gabriel
hernandez.
The
director
with
the
she
supply
the
collective
five
organizations
here
on
the
east
side,
someone
described
it
as
four
lanes.
I
describe
it
as
a
four-legged
table.
The
investment
in
workforce,
like
veronica
on
your
panel
had
spoke
to.
D
We're
working
with
destination,
home
and
other
organizations
to
create
guaranteed
income
for
those
families,
and
so
take
a
look
at
the
one-time
monies
that
you
have
from
the
the
rescue
funds
to
to
fund
those
types
of
things,
so
that
we
can
provide
the
income
that
a
lot
of
these
families
have
lost,
as
as
providers
for
their
families
to
shore
that
up
and
then
finally,
the
schools
cities.
You
know
whether
it's

Q
Hello,
this
is
tara.
Sri
krishnan
I
serve
as
a
liaison
to
the
strong
start
coalition
on
our
county
board
of
education
and
just
want
to
echo
comments
from
our
vice
president
ortiz
and
president
rossi,
who
spoke
earlier
and
thank
everyone
here
and
on
the
panel
for
hosting
and
prioritizing
this
discussion
for
long-range
efforts
to
sustain
child
care
providers
and
to
support
their
need
for
workforce
development
and
on
the
strong
start
coalition
advocates
for
the
expansion
of
early
care,
health
and
education
for
children,
birth
to
age.
R
Great
thank
you,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
all
the
panel
members
and
everyone
for
really
prioritizing
this,
but
also
as
we
prioritize
this,
we
need
to
also
prioritize
housing,
as
many
of
our
families
are
losing
housing
right,
they're
losing
where
to
live,
and
just
providing
child
care
does
not
solve
the
problem
of
our
families.
Living
here
rents
are
up
three
thousand
dollars
people.
R
R
Housing
is
a
priority,
and
so
I
think,
as
we
are
thinking
about
funding
for
childcare,
we
also
need
to
think
about
how
can
we
find
housing
for
families
as
well
and
not
just
build
affordable
housing,
but
actually
have
them
become
homeowners,
actually
having
that
pathway
for
them
to
earn
for
them
to
be
able
to
have
equity
to
give
to
their
children
later
on,
because
that's
something
that
we're
missing
in
this
county?
I
also
want
to
talk
about
the
importance
of
as
we're
working
on
our
workforce
having
them
train
for
special
education.
R
I
have
my
child.
My
child
has
special
education
and
he
went
through
the
county
program
preschool
program,
and
you
know
it
was
so
hard
educating
the
teachers
about
his
different
needs
and
supports
that
he
needed
throughout
and
thankfully
had
really
amazing
teachers
that
got
with
it
and
we're
very
interested
to
learn
more,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
they're
being
taught
that
or
that
we
are
providing
those
kind
of
trainings
consistently,
as
things
are
changing
fast
and
many
of
our
students
that
need
and
learn
different
than
others.
R
B
C
Okay,
am
I
unmuted?
Yes,
okay.
Thank
you.
I
would
like
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
witness
the
continued
commitment
that
the
county
and
the
city
of
san
jose
has
to
children
and
families.
It's
really
wonderful
to
see
that
continued
and
a
quick
hello
to
dana
veronica
and
angel,
who
I
won't
see,
are
my
old
colleagues
but
my
senior
colleagues
just
a
couple
of
things
as
you
work
forward.
C
Please
look
backwards
at
programs
such
as
smart
start,
san
jose
that
were
very
successful,
that
lost
funding
during
the
great
recession
and
maybe
bring
back
some
of
those
aspects
and,
secondly,
look
to
some
of
our
cities
like
san
francisco,
that
has
a
facilities
fund
for
child
care
facilities
that
they
get
through
development
and
developers.
So
just
some
things
to
look
at
that
you're,
not
starting
from
the
beginning,
but
you
are
truly
moving
forward
for
children
and
families.
So
again,
hi
to
my
past
colleagues,
I
hope
you're
doing
well
take
care.
Thank
you,
robert
reese,.
J
One
of
the
things
we
found
out
in
an
engagement
session
we
had
with
them
is
that
their
child
care
facility
had
been
closed
for
a
number
of
years
prior
to
the
pandemic.
There's
a
very
robust
child
care
program
serving
students
at
san
jose
community
college,
but
not
at
evergreen
community
college.
There's
a
couple
of
distinct
opportunities
for
policymakers
and
community
makers
to
impact
policy.
In
this
regard.
J
B
N
R
Hello,
my
name
is
stephanie
allen
and
I
am
representing
the
african-american
community
service
agency,
some
things
that
we
just
wanted
to
highlight
one.
We
support
funding
opportunities
that
activate
early
care
and
education
spaces
during
evenings
and
the
weekends.
We
all
know
that
here
in
this
county,
especially
families,
whether
single
parents
or
having
both
parents
in
the
home,
they
do
rely
on
having
multiple
forms
of
income.
So
providing
a
space
where
we
have
daycares
that
are
open
later
in
the
evening
would
definitely
benefit
many
of
the
black
and
brown
families
in
our
community.
R
A
R
To
us,
ordinary
citizens,
the
wins
that
you've
done.
I
had
a
fortunate
opportunity
to
speak
with
patrick
mcgarrity
a
few
months
ago
about
some
of
the
awesome
things
that
happened
in
terms
of
education
for
some
of
the
underserved
children
in
our
area,
who
would
not
have
had
the
opportunity
to
continue
their
education?
R
B
H
Thank
you
so
rocio
bundes,
I'm
the
manager
for
the
prevention
bureau
in
the
department
of
family
children's
services
and
I'm
also
a
child
abuse
and
prevention
council
member
vice
chair
for
programs.
I'm
thrilled
to
hear
this
conversation
today
and
I'm
very
excited
one
of
our
prime
primary
thrusts
in
the
prevention
bureau
is
to
prevent
child
abuse
and
neglect
in
over-representing
communities,
specifically
latino
and
black
communities.
H
Child
abuse
and
neglect
is
not
a
dfcs
issue
alone.
It
has
to
be
across
systems,
so
I'm
thrilled
to
see
all
of
the
partners
that
are
here.
It's
also
not
a
single
issue
problem.
It's
a
very
complex
there's,
a
lot
of
things
that
contribute
to
it,
and
I
wanted
to
mention
that
we
just
recently
hosted
a
series
of
prevention
summits
and
we
ended
it
with
a
list
of
recommendations
that
came
from
community
and
those
recommendations
include
housing,
domestic
violence,
economic
support,
equity,
access
to
resources,
behavioral
health,
parent
education
into
no
surprise
child
care.
B
B
B
B
Lastly,
to
agendize
the
second
meeting
of
the
nsc
committee
and
committee
of
the
whole
and
the
I'll
leave
the
the
part
for
cscsfc
to
do
their
part,
but
hopefully
they'll
agree
to
bring
a
forward
updated
information
on
the
funding
opportunities,
as
well
as
system
improvements
and
a
coordinated
approach,
including
reporting
on
collaboration
between
scoe,
santa
clara
county,
the
city
and
partner
agencies
to
explore
a
regional
coordinated
system
for
funding
to
wrap
around
services
for
children
and
youth
beyond
age.
Six.
And
so
that
is
my
emotion
I'll.
Second,
that
wonderful.
M
Council
member
can
I
just
offer
one
minor
edit,
absolutely
first
part
and
that's
to
add
the
word
explorer
in
front
of
utilize,
so
recommend
to
the
city
manager
to
explore
the
utilization
of
american
rescue
plan,
because
that
is
a
process.
But
we
definitely
are
interested
in
willing
to
explore
the
use
of
those
funds
and.
C
I
L
H
B
Arenas
yes
and
lastly,
I'd
just
like
to
thank
councilmember,
esparza
carrasco,
of
course,
councilmember
jimenez
and
all
the
folks
who
make
this
happen.
Karen,
who
is
our
who
keeps
us
legal
and
in
line
and,
of
course,
other
folks
who
have
just
joined
us
as
panelists?
We
didn't
hear
from
you
but
we'd
love
to
have.
I
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
going
to
make
a
a
similar
motion.
First,
I'm
going
to
ask
that
we
agendize
for
an
upcoming
meeting
of
children's
family
seniors
committee
to
discuss
this
meeting
in
the
framework
that
supervisor
ellenberg
put
forward
relative
to
workforce
facilities,
funding
gaps
and
after-school
programming.
I
Next
that
we
invite
a
representative
from
the
city
of
san
jose
to
be
on
the
hiring
panel
for
the
children
and
family
advocacy
position.
I
think
that
might
be
good
in
terms
of
you
know,
ensuring
collaboration
and,
finally,
that
we
ask
staff
to
begin
the
policy
work
or
policy
framework
for
consideration
by
the
children's
family
seniors
committee
to
include
an
evaluation
in
all
new
construction,
all
new
purchases
or
buildings,
where
there's
significant
tenant
improvements
that
the
county
owns
to
evaluate
them
for
the
availability
and
use
of
child
care.
P
Chavez
just
have
one
clarifying
question.
I
I'm
very
happy
to
support
the
motion,
the
direction
that
you
gave
on
funding
an
asset
map.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
it's
what
I'm
thinking
it
is
as
well.
We
talked
about
the
funding
streams
today,
but
not
where
they
go.
Are
you
asking
to
hear
which
of
those
funds
go
to
city.
H
I
There
are
some
speed
issues
relative
to
this
because
of
funding
that's
available
from
the
state
and
funding
that
will
be
available
from
the
federal
government,
and
that
would
be
my
motion
with
all
of
that
understanding
and
supervisor
still,
okay
as
a
second,
absolutely
okay.
Well,
this
is
a
rowdy
vote.
Go
ahead!
Dave
roll
call
us.
I
I
Yes-
and
I
will
offer
thank
you
so
much
dave,
I'm
going
to
offer
the
universal.
Thank
you
all
to
the
city
of
san
jose
to
all
the
council,
members
and
the
staff
and
everybody
who
made
today's
meeting
possible
and
also
to
the
to
the
county.
I
just
really
appreciated
dr
smith.
You
spending
so
much
time
with
us
today.
I
know
that
means
a
great
deal
to
me
and
to
others,
and
dr
duan
really
happy
that
we
got
a
chance
to
see
you
instead
of
the
courts
in
in
jury
duty.
I
B
You
thank
you
supervisor,
travis.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
your
staff,
amy
nguyen
and
maja,
who
have
just
been
wonderful
and
as
well
as
my
team,
maria,
like
garcia,
we
have
patrick
mcgarrity
and
nancy
lay.
So
thank
you,
everybody.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
have
a
wonderful
rest
of
the
day.
