Bea’s welcome remarks:

Congratulations to Chuck and the YMCA for their Y for Youth Luncheon fundraiser. Youth and Government debated soda tax and did outstanding job. Steering Committee is planning a retreat to discuss strategic planning and inviting members. Shape Up SF was approached to collaborate in a kinetic art installation that incorporates art and physical activity. We will keep Coalition posted if this progresses. SUSF is interested in delivering sugary drink presentation  to the Commission on Aging  and will be reaching out.

This meeting will be focused on physical activity, but here are a few updates related to healthy eating/sugary drinks:

• Grand opening of Radmans (201 Turk St) at Sunday Streets on April 13. This is the first coerner store in the Tenderloin to be converted to provide fresh produce.
• Choose Healthy Drinks evaluation will focus on recall, behavior change, and support for policies that decrease consumption of sugary drinks. UCB researchers will begin eval end of April and we hope to have preliminary findings at our July Coalition Meeting. We will reveal phase 2 campaign as well.
• SUSF is piloting a Sugar Science train the trainer workshop. Let us know if you are interested and we can contact you directly once a date has been set. Looking at end of May.
• Supervisor Scott Wiener is convening a hearing on diabetes in the coming weeks.
• April 16 the sugary drink tax proposal will be heard at the Budget Committee meeting at 1pm in City Hall room 250. Please spread the word and come provide public comment.  Would be great to have youth voice heard. Jeff Lincoln and Youth and Government?

Featured presentation: Public Education Enrichment Fund (PEEF) Reauthorization status and “Our Children, Our City” Stakeholder Process – Mark Murphy, Co-Chair PEEF Community Advisory Committee

8 years ago, SF voted Prop H, a set aside from the general fund to SFUSD. It started with $10 million and this year is $75:

1. One third of the total PEEF fund is allocated to First 5 San Francisco for preschool support.
2. One third supports sports, libraries, the arts and music (SLAM).
3. One third funds vital programs such as Wellness Centers, Student Support Professionals, Translation Services, and Peer Resources (Third-Third).

PEEF is set to sunset in 2014.

Children’s Fund to sunset in 2015. The Children’s Fund is a property tax.

The Mayor and Superintendent Carranza created a movement called “Our Children, Our City” – a nine month process with a stakeholder committee, facilited by Learning for Action.

Legislation that will be on the November ballot needs to go to the Board of Supervisors by May 23.

Goal is to keep PEEF and Children’s Fund separate, but to coordinate better. Both measures need just a simple majority to pass and polling shows they are very secure on the November ballot. These are both reauthorization, so not new tax dollars.

Funding will not create new programs, but just do existing programs better, more streamlined, and with better coordination and oversight.

PE is paid for entirely through PEEF. It is also the only content area that has minutes associated with it by law. There are PE teachers at middle and high schools, but none at the 72 elementary schools. PEEF pays for PE specialists to team-teach with classroom teachers. Ideally, 2-3 PE Teachers at each school. There are annual evaluations for each of the areas paid for by PEEF. SFUSD budgets the money.

How do we get PE teachers at every school? Need to advocate. The PE Advocates testify at Board of Ed meetings to keep PE on the radar. PTAs should be more involved. SUSF paid to customize NY DOH’s Where’s My PE campaign for SF. PE Department will be printing and sending home, especially in the fall. Check out www.PE4SF.org and share these images with your networks!

PE Advocates were highlighted as a success story by Salud America, funded by RWJF.

Carol Kocivar of Looking at Education on KALW interviewed Hannah Thompson and Christina Goette on our second PE assessment, and it will air at 6 pm on May 13.

SUSF will be sending letter to the Board of Ed about importance of PEEF, especially related to PE.
