commissioner haney. >> definitely, i know this is a priority for some time for the student advisory council, so i want to thank you all for your leadership on behalf of your fellow students. i want to thank all the folks who came here tonight for waiting, testifying and sharing your own experiences. i especially want to thank sam cam and all the folks from bessie carmichael who were here. we thank you on your leadership and partnership on this. i know there were a number of organizations represented. i want to say quickly, we are at a place now in our city where it is impossible for us think about ensuring the education of all of our children without thinking about housing. and we've had this conversation here in these chambers a number of times when it comes to educator housing. so many of our teachers and staff are being pushed out of the city, having to commute from hours away. and it's impacting directly the reality in our schools. as much as that is true for educators, that's also true for families.
