to if we think that you know how if this is undermining the other 2350erd patterns and see if we can't do something about that >> thank you commissioner wynns. >> i want to follow up i think upper talking about mri aluminum and it makes we unsees e easy i'll support it for now but we need to watch that closely. that makes we nervous we're saying oh, we'll add a bus to mri alumiiralom miraloma. we don't offer transportation in
5:31 pm
a cohort way i understand the reasoning and i'm sort of i guess i'm supportive of that fore now again, it feels like a one of oh, we feel like we have a bus over here we had that with our previous transportation system it makes me feel like we're moving in the wrong direction because if we're going to have a transportation system let's have a coherent one that makes sense >> i hope that's not true but i don't think it is because i think that commissioner nortons point is well-taken we should or i'm suggesting as a followup we should look at a transportation system at the same time, we look at things like this so we're
5:32 pm
going to vaelth the feeders in the middle school and also looking at the transportation the bus we provide and how it is related to this which we don't so far ami i've not seen in the annual report those are the buses we've provided and our kids are going from here to there and does this effect our segregations so i think my hope and trust actually, i recall it the transportation system is pretty coherent we've said we're only going to provide transportation for general education. for those purposes this is where they align with our goals we're doing in the assignment system otherwise those are few schools that have pools and bay one of
5:33 pm
the things not recent policy turn a lot of schools that had no attendance areas we stopped picking up bus kids and taking them to those schools. so when you - i said perfectly when you say as part of this to make this work add transportation that can seem to us and the public happen hazard but i think if we looked at the whole thing i don't mean change everything but if the transportation is working and how many people are riding buses that would be really good thank you. commissioner maufas. >> so just in regard to my comments for miraloma i hope it's clear that people that live
5:34 pm
in the mission we're going to have that feed test. >> i want to say i'm wondering can you clarify we have a preference and a 902 plus preference so the 92124 preference would get the preference for example, if a group of students excuse me. from miraloma or taylor lived in the 2124 would have first preference not only they attended those schools but actually have the preference because the zip code; is that correct? >> yes. i think that's correct because the way the tiebreaker system works is that the
5:35 pm
students it's a hierarchy of tiebreakers students have combinations of tiebreakers this gives them a higher preference so if they come from the zip code and have a feeder that guarantees they'll have the highest preference there. >> is my preference that we would film willie brown middle school with residents of 92424 those other students have a feeder school? booif 92414 we if have one. so i feel that actually, if the superintendents brings a proposal that assures diversity i'd like the opportunity to open
5:36 pm
this discussion up to have the hunters point area discussion and see if we need to include them into this enrollment i hope the superintendent will have a responsibility plan innovate to have to add mri limb because they have a feeder middle school we've not had a feeder school in the middle school i want to have the seats for the students to attend to have first preference to the willie brown school and if we can insure that by giving them a tiebreaker of the 92414 so not every fifth grader from george moscone would
5:37 pm
automatically get into willie brown with you not having enough enrollment we'll then look at the tiebreakers to insure those students from malcolm x and others have priority for students to get to their feeder school that is the new willie brown. it's our intention as the district is have feeder middle schools to have them in place in 2016-2017 or is it 17 he 18. i want like to attract a responsibility enrollment first i'd like vote b for this but i
5:38 pm
hope the superintendent has a really great kick ass plan to actually get robust enrollment that's robust to draw from this zip code. when we look at the graphics it's a diverse neighborhood that neighborhood has been without a middle school for some time it's our responsibility for those children who have chosen to go to those schools in the bayview we have them out we deliver to them a fabulous brand new middle school that's robust enrollment that actually is diverse. so i will vote for this but again superintendent to put it on record i'm hoping we can fill
5:39 pm
those seats with the 9244 residents and maybe they've not going gone to the schools but willie brown is across the street so we would like to offer them that opportunity. thank you very much. no more comments we're ready for a roll call vote >> thank you. ms. jones. mr. chin. mr. haney. ms. maufas. police vehicles. ms. norton. ms. wynns. president fewer. 6 i's >> thank you very much. okay. so we're going to be looking for the plan superintendent. okay. so this is new revisions
