Larry will send Future’s Fair information to committee member Ms. Wade-Thompson who will organize support from the San Francisco Unified School District.

 

b.  CCSF Southeast Campus Programming Update-

Dean Ilona McGriff’s Southeast Campus update began with her sharing the history of CCSF which began in 1935.  CCSF is fully on-line now and their programs are shifting to hybrid education.  Dean McGriff iterated Chancellor Rocha’s commitment to increase the low enrollment that correlates to the economic disparity of the community.  Beginning Monday four transferable courses will be offered to create a path to a higher education Degree or a Certificate.  The college is in the process of resubmitting classes for federal funding.  Dual enrollment is being promoted for high school students to take college classes and Math 70 is a part of that program.  CCSF is currently undergoing strategic spring cleaning and a date for a soft reopening will be set.  One to four ESL evening classes will be offered in the fall. 

 

Ronnie Versher, SFPUC Manager asked if EMS classes will be offered in conjunction with the San Francisco Fire Department because the Fire Chief had expressed an interest in providing a program.

 

Technological classes will continue at the Evans campus.  David Yee is the Academic Dean who oversees 206 full time teachers, and there is an ongoing conversation regarding the return of the Nurses’ Aide class.

 

Commissioners and committee members offered to advocate for more classes and noted the current outreach efforts were not effective.  It was suggested that classes could be increased with Project Genesis enrollees, youth from 100 College Prep, and individuals interested in ESL classes.

 

Commissioners noted the Cantonese language classes for English speakers held in Visitation Valley and they suggested formulating a strategy to engage the Mayor in participating in an enrollment effort for the Southeast campus.

 

Dean McGriff said she would provide a date for the soft reopening and invited the Commissioners to participate in a meet and greet with the CCSF students and staff.

 

Briyana Butler, SECFC Community Liaison introduced the new online reservation system that was created to encourage the community to go paperless and promote more efficiency in the reservation process.  The one-night dance permit has been eliminated and the Rules and Regulations of the process will be provided at the next committee meeting.

 

Community members asked if there would be a lower fee for residents to rent the community center?

 

Director Rogers-Pharr announced the Grand Opening for the new center would be held early in 2022.
