I mi very much impressed with the<br />
staff at <strong>Lowell</strong>: in I'u, there are •<br />
twrnbcr of yew raff members that I<br />
lik outstanding.<br />
I lUnk Lnvell ii a very interesting<br />
school besides being u interesting<br />
concept. It Is an aoitude that is recnforced<br />
is terras oflhc undents, and I<br />
think students produce more<br />
becarse they believe aw e>pecu<<br />
tions are high for them at <strong>Lowell</strong>.<br />
On financial problems facing<br />
schools; In any school in San Francisco<br />
or in California, there are<br />
clways additional monetary<br />
resource needs that are needed. We<br />
could always we more money for<br />
textbooks, we couM always use<br />
more money for supplies; what<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> his thai 1 think U very, wry<br />
:pedal bine attitude' and the commitrncnl,<br />
and that can't he rerlacrd.<br />
I'd love » be abb to double the<br />
financial rcaomccs to every school.<br />

Associate Superintendent Carol Choye comments on the San<br />
Francisco Unified School District.<br />
On the San Francisco UnUM<br />
Schcol District: My concept of<br />
"diurict" is the 63.000 youngsters<br />
wiihin the district. So to me. a major<br />
challenge facing all of us is how u><br />
;^ovlde the best T^'fnti real opponuni'}'<br />
fur each of us to learn more about<br />
each other. And that's the<br />
challenge: how best *o help folks to<br />
see it as a challenge and not as a<br />
problem.<br />
On student saurament: I think it<br />
is very important. What you're (the<br />
stujcnl) doing (is) a couole of<br />
things. One, U you're building your<br />
own decision mailing abflity. TWc.<br />
yuu havr a real impact on what hap*<br />
pens at <strong>Lowell</strong> wd at other reboots<br />
and you have a lot w nfTcr "tht<br />
District."<br />
..Part of why irudeK govcrnmciv's<br />
imponan (is) lor you to<br />
learn that yoc can work within the<br />
establishment to get some of the<br />
things you want done. And when<br />
inat doesn't work. I know there are<br />
otr. r kinds uf altcrortivc methods<br />
* you M\ uic. But I do encourage you<br />
to uf c your student government as a<br />
»ty of helping to nuke changes ll^t<br />
c z6 to be made. Nothing's perfect.<br />
mi CJCC'S perfect, no institution is<br />
perfect. And it gets boar by working<br />
together.<br />

On minimum standards: What we<br />
have done is look at the ft— (of<br />
Cali/amli) mandates, the model<br />
cuTiculum standards that have<br />
come from the State Department of<br />
Educatioe. ^ ^<br />
We're always b be process of<br />
reviewtnf that (mfaiw«.m 033.<br />
dards). We. ktcp rhr updaud...we<br />
have a new ict of Mintaura Standards<br />
Tests that we have field tesad<br />
this year and will be out in UV<br />
school* nex: yen-.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Minimum Standards Test m<br />
newr meant to be you're maximum<br />
level at each grade level; it was just<br />
J &iinimal...tnd that's why we'rs<br />
lookins at grade level expectations.<br />
We «ant to constantly work at raising<br />
what yongsten an- learning at<br />
each jrads level.<br />
On how San rrandsco Public<br />
School itnaenta compare with<br />
stadenu oatsldc of San Francisco:<br />
I think our youngsters do very well,<br />
but that doesn't mean they cant do<br />
better. I've been working with the<br />
bic. ciry school systems of Chicngo.<br />
New York, Detroit. Mtraeapolis,<br />
and MemtAif, and jny number of<br />
times, the people b charge of ctrrricilum<br />
In those districts have lookrd<br />
to San Francisco for our leadership<br />
in curriculum projects.<br />
