in 2002 by the board of supervisors, and it is a very isolated area, surrounded by freeways and industrial areas, and by cutting us off and putting us into this area, you are really affecting one girl and all of the other kids to one or two a year might come along, and who they play with at the park, who they eat with, they are not going to be with them. our area has one sort of commercial strip, and our building, actually, where people are out on the sidewalks, unlike a lot of areas with the district in the middle, and it makes more sense. thank you. >> hi, my name is -- i have to

tell you, i saw on the list, i guess there is some controversy, on sanchez street, there is mckinley, and they understand you are not going to change this now, no matter where you draw the line, somebody will be mad. i am not throwing her under that bus. i feel terrible about that, but that is not going to help. i do not want to do that. since this is not going to change, and i just wanted to let you know that. >> hi, my name is josephine, and i live in the sense that neighborhood, and i am very happy and very glad that you have these proposals -- i live

in the sun setsu regionnse note -- i live in the sunset area. >> i am justin van zandt, and i have kids. i have seen them make friends at the playground, and they cannot go to school that is a few blocks from their house. you cannot build the community and make friends. we have five communities on our block that go to five different schools, in you are really damaging the fiber of our committee and driving people out. also, i have been married for 15 years. it is incredibly am

hearing you correctly, it is likely are erasing all of the feeder patterns from august 18. we may use them as a basis for redrawing feeder patterns, but we are starting with a blank slate? >> definitely, there were some things we discovered from the draft we put out and the conversation from the community. a lot of the evaluation and analysis we did, we will bring back into the conversation once it restarts. it is a positive step back and focus on the quality of schools initiative and then revisit the feeders. the draft feeder patterns were just a draft. commissioner wynns: there are still conversations up here, so

could you please organize yourselves quietly? thank you. >> thank you, commissioner. we are taking that draft. it was always a draft. the only thing we knew for sure was there was something wrong with it and that we would have to come back with recommended changes. we can say with confidence we think that any new proposal would not be the same as the draft presented to the board. commissioner norton: what are we proposing to do to make sure that does not happen again? [applause] i do not want to have us put out a whole new proposal and have its start over again. we did not understand that, or did not see that -- what are we going to do differently this time? >> what we are going to do differently is what we heard loud and clear -- that people want to see outstanding programs.

the main emphasis of middle schools will be to really work on developing -- making sure that every one of our schools ends up having that type of program at each of their schools. also, when we look at the language programs, we are going to build everything around instruction, not necessarily algorithms. let us figure out what are the types of programs that best suit our community, our curriculum, and the school district, and bill everything around that instead of the other way around. that is going to be the big difference. commissioner norton: i am wondering if you have a proposed timeline for when you are going to be able to release a new draft plan to the community. commissioner wynns: i would like to postpone discussion. we are not up to that yet. vice president mendoza: i have a

couple of clarifying questions. part of the delay is really focusing on building the program in wanted to make sure the programs are in place prior to families going to the school. to the program placement process, when will you be able to share that with families? >> we are working on developing what that plan might look like, but as i mentioned earlier there are some major pieces we have not even had any understanding of, not least of which is one of the philosophical points that we alluded to. this is based on instruction having to do with our special education program. we have not had the report presented to us, with the recommendations in the report. we have
