Addressing Whole Child SupportBy Mark MurphyCandidate for Member, Board of Education; County of San Francisco | |
This information is provided by the candidate |
Our children deserve and demand support greater than the six hour school day.Mark believes the success of our San Francisco Unified School District children does not start when the bell sounds in the morning nor does it end with the school bell in the afternoon and definitely does not happen solely within the four walls of our schools. Insuring our children come to school ready to learn having had a good night's sleep, are fed, immunized, mentored, and cared for is a particular 'whole child' focus Mark looks to bring to the School Board. Within its 49 square miles, San Francisco is a City and County with world renowned resources, from physical and natural beauty, to an arts community rivaling the world's best, to myriad options of higher academic opportunity, to envied LGBT leadership, to passionate civil rights leadership, to ethnic diversity and over 100 languages, to groundbreaking preventative and illness curing healthcare systems, and so much more. As a School Board member, Mark will remember the nearly one thousand voices he heard during the 2013 "Our Children, Our City" (http://ourchildren-ourcity.wikispaces.com/) community meetings:
1.) Children are asking for help to reduce the barriers for their success Mark's expertise in the areas of community facilitation and coalition-based problem solving will continue the good work already underway bringing together the entire City and County of San Francisco's resources for our children, their future, their success. |
