spoke to a lot of reporters, not just me, but people from all of the organizations, including carol kosovar. this is the first time ever that the california school district association and the california pta come from the same school district. we were there and made the point that san francisco was well- represented in the capital today. i do not want anybody listening or anybody in our school district to think that we are not advocating. this is a good deal for us. this is an unacceptable deal for k-12 schools. we will be working hard and mobilizing the community. now, since my guests are in the room, if i may have a point of personal privilege, i want to introduce my son, evan, who is here as a chauffeur for his grandmother. my mother came to visit us. happily, she was here during the conference. [applause] in the 19 years i've served on the school board, this is the first time she has been at a meeting here it she lives in north carolina, but she has not happened to be here when we have a regular meeting, which is why i asked her to come. thank you all for your warm reception. president
