our students come back year after year after they graduate to support our emersion programme. they appeal to the board to support our most vulnerable students. mission education center is one of our feeder programmes. our new-comer students receive their support in language development, in sheltered instruction through the spanish emersion programme. we were cut by .6 for for a full-time position and cut .2 and what that means we have to delve into the pockets of our school site funding to replace those or cut them. what our administration chose to do without any consent from the community or consensus building with our staff and parents. we have more parents and more faculty here at this board meeting after our long workday, after their second shifts and we have children here, more than were a the pleasant quorum. we are asking you to look at the central funneling for our school. we are a pitch school. we are a school you keep measuring as failing but our kids keep coming back and saying we win. we need your help.
