supervisor ronen. >> supervisor ronen: thank you, colleagues. today i'm introducing a charter amendment also for the november ballot called "the back on track student success fund." i want to thank all of the early co-sponsors of this measure, supervisor preston and mar, safai, walton -- or president walton, and -- who am i missing -- myself, i think. that's it. so what this measure would do is it would create a $70 million set aside from eraf funding for the san francisco unified school district schools. the purpose of the fund is to address the achievement gap, both the learning loss that happened during covid and the persistent gap that has existed for decades between african-american, and the lower income students and their higher income peers as well as the social and emotional health of all sfsud students which has been at a crisis stage since covid. the idea for this measure is that at the school-based level, that the school site council -- which includes parents, educators, and administrators and community members, would apply to a grant

first i would like to thank our sponsors, supervisor ronen and safai and melgar and mandelman w., that i think we have a presentation via teams and she will be going through this item. >> so first i'm going to go over the purpose of the legislation and then a few of the details behind it. a you're probably aware, the city and our departments are facing a backlog in contracts and day-to-day procurement activities and this is really due to three reasons. one, there's been the covid emergency and departments and spend ago couple of years responding to the emergency at hand. which has really meant that day-to-day operations needed to be delayed while we focused on the emergency. the second is the great resignation and this is true in our contract analysts positions. this can be particularly difficult with contracts analyst positions because san francisco's contracts rules and regulations are highly complex and unique to the city of san francisco so when you get a vacancy in one of these positions and able to fill it, it can still take upwards of a year to train that person so they can real

i want to thank riser ronen and supervisor prop i for calling for this hearing and like supervisor ronen i am incredibly proud to live in the city that has made this commitment to serve this community . we are alone amongst jurisdictions in the country and using local dollars to backfill those federal cuts and i am so proud of the work that the city has done to reduce the number of infections. to reduce the number of deaths in san francisco but we still have work to do. while i appreciate the work of our partners at the apartment of health and thoughtfulness they put into some of the decisions that they're putting forward i fear there are unintended consequences which will happen at impact of destabilizing the system of care that we've come to rely upon. it is the same public health infrastructure that has helped the city to respond to the current pandemic. and though we have seen flat funding in many years, we are seeing the system of care for a period and it will come apart. you are working on many of the issues around nonprofit sustainability it impacts all the partners in our communi
