speak in support of this proposal and as someone from the schools and i relate to statistics as undercredited as i was going to balboa, and i wasn't able to graduate on my own. i was able to graduate due to support and because of mentors and counselors and programs and tutor that supported me to try to get me. not just graduate but to go to college. when i first heard about the a-g requirements and the affect that we are making that the new standard to graduate from high school. i was super, super excited as someone who found out about the a-g requirements in my senior year. when i first heard about it, i was very, very enthused. and also with that i was very concerned. because i know we can't just raise the bar on our young people without the necessary support to meet that. with that, i would like to say that i hope you support this and pass this appropriation for sfusd. and i also thank you for the critical questions, because i also agree that we need to be critical and take this maybe as an opportunity to work with s u sfusd that in the long term they are keeping the students on track. but
