    AGENDA ITEM I-4 Public Works STAFF REPORT City Council Meeting Date: 12/4/2018 Staff Report Number: 18-225-CC Informational Item: Update on the citywide Safe Routes to School program Recommendation This is an informational item and does not require City Council action. Policy Issues The development of a Citywide Safe Routes to School program (Program) is included as one of the top-six priority projects in the City Council’s adopted 2018 work plan. The program is also an implementation program included in the 2016 general plan circulation element. Background On February 6, 2018, the City Council adopted its 2018 work plan, including the Citywide Safe Routes to school program and further prioritized it as one of the city’s top-six priority projects. Accordingly, staff reprioritized work efforts and prepared a draft request for proposals for the program. The Safe Routes to School subcommittee of the Complete Streets Commission and advocates from Parents for Safe Routes reviewed the draft request for proposals. Staff incorporated this feedback and released the request for proposals May 2, 2018. Six proposals were received by the May 23, 2018, due date. A team of seven people comprised of City staff and Complete Streets Commission subcommittee members reviewed proposals and recommended Alta Planning + Design to initiate the program. Authorization for entering into an agreement with Alta Planning + Design was approved at the City Council meeting June 19, 2018. A notice to proceed was given in July 2018, and this report serves as an update to the work that has been performed over the last five months.

  • Pushing the Line
    PUSHING THE LINE Addressing Inequities in Sequoia Union High School District’s Student Assignment Plan A report issued by the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area (LCCR) www.lccr.com In collaboration with the law firm of Bingham McCutchen LLP July 2013 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area would like to thank the dedicated parents, teachers, and community members from East Palo Alto and beyond for their commitment to ensuring the educational success for all East Palo Alto students. In particular, we would like to thank Avani Patel and Ellen Mouchawar for their assistance with this project and their commitment to promoting the success of all East Palo Alto students. In addition, we are greatly indebted to the law firm of Bingham McCutchen LLP and particularly Frank B. Kennamer, Bess Kennedy, Marcelo Quiñones, Thai Q. Le, Ali Gramaglia, and Steven A. Erkel for their invaluable research and writing assistance. This report also significantly benefited from the contributions of our staff, including Executive Director Kimberly Thomas Rapp, Legal Director Oren Sellstrom, Thurgood Marshall Fellow Cecilia Chen, and law clerk Elizabeth Floyd. Educational opportunity is a critical component for the life success of our youth, particularly youth of color. Encouraging and ensuring that supports are in place to help students succeed at every level should be fundamental to our educational systems. Arbitrary and harmful policies that disproportionately and negatively impact students of color are infringements with life‐ altering implications. This work seeks to bring attention to a problem in Sequoia Union High School District that can be easily addressed to ensure that all students have an equal opportunity to succeed.
