    XXXXX SFChronicle.com | Sunday, March 11, 2018 | A9 CaliforniaAssociation of IndependentSchools Statement on Gun Violence and School Safety As the Board of Directors of the California Association of Independent Schools, we join our Executive Director and the undersigned colleagues from our member schools —aswell as other independent, religious, and proprietaryschools throughout California —inanguish over the February14school shooting in Parkland, Florida. We extend our deepest sympathy to the families of the victims of this and everyschool shooting, and we stand in unwavering support of the survivors. We also stand in full solidarity with concerned educators nationwide. Today,school shootings are appallinglyroutine. Innocent lives of flourishingyoung people have been cut short, and students of everyage in countless communities are afraidtogotoschool. These students are our futureleaders. They and others, with amyriad of different perspectives, are also eager to change this paradigm by navigating our democratic processes, by engaging in respectful civic discourse, and by acting as catalysts for needed change, which we heartily applaud. We need to listen to their voices and respond to their pleas to make schools safe. As educators and as citizens, we are proud Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who believethatour countryneed notchoose between the rightful protection of responsiblegun ownership and the necessaryprevention of gun violence. We believe thatthe epidemic of gun violence in schools is an issue of non-partisan urgency, one thatdemands ahigher duty of care. We recall with admiration the ability to rise above partisanship on this issue displayed by two former Presidents, DemocratJimmy Carter and Republican Ronald Reagan, both of whom owned guns. In 1994, they worked together to help reduce the number of dangerous weapons available to private citizens.

  • SAN FRANCISCO MARKET UPDATE- RECOVERING from RECENT ECONOMIC RECESSION Jaime Law Assistant Vice President, HVS San Francisco Consulting & Valuation
    JANUARY 2011 SAN FRANCISCO MARKET UPDATE- RECOVERING FROM RECENT ECONOMIC RECESSION Jaime Law Assistant Vice President, HVS San Francisco Consulting & Valuation www.hvs.com HVS Consulting & Valuation 100 Bush Street, Suite 750, San Francisco, CA 94104 USA Ranked as one of the most favored cities to visit by readers of the Condé Nast Traveler and Travel +Leisure magazines, San Francisco is a thriving economic center on the West Coast and features a cross-section of demand potential. Nevertheless, the San Francisco hotel market wasn’t immune to the recent economic downturn, and some areas such as housing and employment remain challenged. In the employment sector, San Francisco’s November 2010 unemployment figures stood at 9.6%, essentially unchanged from a year ago but still lower than those of California’s other major cities. The residential real estate pricing has been inconsistent as there were signs of improvement for several months, but then the average price of homes retreated in September 2010 as unemployment and the end of tax incentives curbed purchases. On the other hand, the apartment market improved steadily in 2010, with average rental rates increasing 16% since the start of the year—albeit still below the peak in September 2008. San Francisco’s bright spot is domestic and international travel, which continues to strengthen, showing healthy year-over-year increases. Retail traffic, measured by parking garage use and Saturday Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) visitors to Powell Street, shows year-over-year improvements; retail sales rose in December 2010 for the sixth straight month, aided by the weakened U.S.

Over 20 years ago, in an effort to best serve students and families during the admission process, the Bay Area Admission Directors developed a set of Principles of Good Practice. These Principles encourage mutual respect among the member schools and support practices, activities, and events that are student-centered and age appropriate for our applicants. The Bay Area Admission Directors believe that applicants deserve to be apprised of these Principles of Good Practice agreed upon by the Bay Area independent high schools. A summary of the Principles is therefore listed below.
