my name is fernando lopez. i have a first grader at marshall elementary. two things i heard tonight. one is that the superintendent hurt the kids in the district during his opening remarks and another board member say dodge a bullet. we feel like we did both of those. we dodge aid bullet and we were about to hurt the kids in our district had we moved occupy san francisco about 200 yards from our school. as you can see tonight from what i viewed, communication is key. so what we're asking for next time and i'm here representing the administrators, specifically the principal and the latin community that really felt the tension in our school, but was not understanding what was going on. next time, you know, if we can get involved and not learn our news from s.f. gate, the "chronicle," here say, it would be very helpful. we have a very small community and a small school, but we have a very, very tight-knit community. and we were all very up in arms and we were very tense for a good week, week and a half. again, i ask that next time something like this comes up
