he data unconvincing, however, a low bar to meet they to say they have families interested in enrolling in the school that's why we department of motor vehicles didn't have a great deal of conversations we will prevail. >> andtolysis no recourse should they show up show up with 60 kids come fall. >> that's for next year i'm talking about this year. >> there's a recourse to charge them the space for students they told us they'll have and i think correct me if i am wrong but p one they have to prove they required in district ada if not they'll owe the district additional fund their attendance
9:31 am
for period one. >> i want to follow that i i don't think they were able to prove at the time i've not seen anything that shows the new number and so i just don't feel like we have an obligation to offer them a space like they came after us last year annoyed me more i wanted to keep an eye on this and understand their enrollment looks like periodically and especially the start of the school year i'm not - it bugs me that's the route they took. >> commissioner walton and commissioner wynns. >> just a clarification question so if they- if we found
9:32 am
out they doesn't have sufficient enrollment are we able to remove them mid semester after the period or ride this thing out. >> right so the second we would look at excuse me. not look back but do a new analysis of the start of the second year and if they don't have the finish in the sufficient ada we'll have other opens but not remove students mid year and commissioner wynns. >> if i may just to be clarify that is precisely what happened a large correct we made them an offer using those what you kind of call low bar they told us to have exactly 80 students the nun
9:33 am
they required and they didn't we denied them the prop 39 this year we had a practice of them not meeting their obligation so - >> apparently, it worked. >> a clear we'll need to consider if clearly it only takes filing a writ this is what we're teaching people to behalf and do whatever they want. >> i'm going to play devils advocate as you recall they have a downtown prime location and moved to gloria right direction davis and many, many families abandoned the school i feel that that move hurt their enrollment
9:34 am
greatly and when i visited the school they did show commenting commitment to the neighborhood and showed how many students were recruited from the neighborhood when schools move there's always an impact sorry if i may respectfully dr. murase the purchase purpose of charter schools when they brought the chart schools first place they said by the way we're going to target underserved community and students noted successful in their system that's what they were supposed to do and render this downtown location and if you recall they came here and said i can't move but i us to gloria davis and i have an obligation to serve them i have
9:35 am
let's go sympathy for an organization they've lied to us twice at least and no evidence they're not doing it again so i understand and it is definitely not the first time we've been faced with this choice do something we think is wrong because it is alike likely it may cost us more those are hard things to swallow i appreciate commissioner mendosa-mcdonnell that he thought we were protecting ourselves so we clearly didn't figure out how to do that maybe we can do a better job in the future. >> superintendent and commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell.
9:36 am
>> yes. so commissioners we're in intently noting our concerns we have similar concerns it is important to understand though that the board a in the action that it took drew a clear line when it goes to the state we're limited in what we can do aside from presenting our case at the state level there are ramification at the local level so we hear the frustration loud and clear we're monitoring the enrollment but share in our frustration. >> commissioner mendosa-mcdonnell not only am i interested in the numbers by the demographics in a location that didn't serve the community in which they claim to be serving i want to keep an eye on that. >> i want to say one more
9:37 am
thing. >> wait a second. >> i want to raise a note of agreement with everything that the commissioners are saying so we had a lot of staff discussions along those lines and looked at it it and dubious mr. davis testified in front of the state board of education to talk about the represents he mentioned the elements and frankly took look at of heat and scolding from the members of the board we didn't take this lightly we tried to make you are case as well we could and that didn't prevail at the state
9:38 am
board and fundamentally it effected our positions we should take at this point. >> commissioner wynns. >> i actually had intended to go and testify but not able for some reason, i think there is an s b.a. we should consider that we ought to ourselves advocating what the state and the last thing i want to say someone south park is keeping the list of the legislative list i've brought this up and need to aggressively pursue prop 39 charts granted by the state because we may live in the most expensive city in the country
